maybe its just me...but is leveling too fast in your opinion?

Perhaps a differing perspective. This week, I have two days off. Sometimes I get one. Today I logged in and spent a good two or three hours advancing through some main story line quests and "grinding" through some guildleves to reach Lv. 10 as a Pugilist and Gladiator. Three hours. I sleep for seven or eight. That leaves me thirteen hours to do everything else I'd like to do with my day; eating, writing, running, etc.

I'm am the casual player demographic.. but we can coexist!! It seems like the majority of players just have more time to play than I do. I bought the collectors edition of this game the first day it came out because I.. love Final Fantasy. Try to see it from a different perspective. Three hours is a substantial investment for me! Today I made some progress and had a good time. Square has made great efforts striking a balance between content for casual players like me, and players with more time, such as yourselves. It must be very difficult, and I applaud them.

Maybe the solution is to separate players into servers that have difficulty levels? One server will cater to hardcore players, and it'll take nine hours to gain a single level--however much time it takes to make hardcore players feel satisfied. Which is.. Really sort of insane when you think about it.

The other server, for people like me, will have the current, easier leveling curve. Insanity mode, and Normal Working People mode.
