I think what a lot of people aren't noticing is that they have made it so you have the option to level slow or level fast as you see fit. If you want to get to fifty in no time, you can. If you like to take your time, you can easily solo, duo, or trio grind and do just that. The freedom is there to play it how you want too. The xp bonus that comes from logging out in an inn just adds another layer to that for the people that don't play every single day. And frankly, considering how god awful the crafting system is right now to level, I welcome anything that helps me push through the level 30-50 stretch for the crafting jobs. Watching an entire season of 30 Rock on netflix just to distract myself from how mind numbing hitting the x button is 80,000 times to get from 25-26 carpentry shouldn't be the answer folks. I can't tell you all how many of those little crafting xp boost scrolls i had purchased on my old char from my grand company just to speed things up a little when crafting.

Also, I completely agree that they need to make the inn a real place in the city. Although, given the fact that its only temporary until we get player housing, I have the sinking feeling its going where everything else they create in 2 seconds does: Right in the market ward entrance.
