My problem with leveling up in FFXIV.

[Edax]

To be fair I'm lvl 58 on my summoner and I'm in heavensward now. In fact I just got to a point that I can't move forward until I hit 59. It's more interesting that ARR for sure but the msq still takes a lot of running around talking to people and whatnot. And that's ok, it just seems like when I have an hour or two to play and I spend that time reading and traveling....well it feels like I'm not actually playing I guess.

If OP is 50 like it says on the side, can you blame the guy?
ARR is terrible to go through. People legit quit this game because of ARR.
I admit to even skipping a handful of ARR's dialogue because it was just too much.
I got sick of it near the end of it all.
We can all agree ARR is just ridiculous enough to deter players than even SE is stepping in, finally.

OP even said he wasn't in ARR, but in HW.
