Idk i know most people felt 11 was that way but i felt like leveling had so much more meaning. In 11 having good gear actually meant something while leveling. Having the right party setup.. This game is just so easy.. Stick any 8 people with any jobs with any gear and you have a fast as hell exp party. SO stupid, then they add rested experience.

Otherwise the rest of the patch info looks suprisingly decent.
Are you kidding me? In what way was XI not a grind fest? Did we play same game?
All you did in XI was grind to 75 ASAP because all the other content was unimportant and boring.
XI went through a phase where lvling was extremely boring and stupid (when it came out in NA). We had to go to places like Valley of Sorrows or Sky to level which in itself took about an hour. There parties averaged maybe 15k/h with 100k tnl or something like that. Leveling dint become actually OK till maybe TOAU. Do not even get me started about waiting around for 4 hours to find proper job setup.
