I never really understood the mindset of people that ask stuff like this, or maybe I do and don't want to think how egotistical some people can be.

Ah, the personal attack. That didn't take long.

If I do something in a video game, especially an MMO, I expect a return. EXP at the very least. It's an MMO. If you do a QUEST, you get exp. That's how this has ALWAYS worked.

On top of that, there are way too many other things to do. Not only from a life perspective, but from a gaming perspective as well. There are other games that reward you for spending your time in their game. And I'm NOT saying FFXIV doesn't. I'm saying this one specific thing doesn't, and it absolutely should. Why wouldn't anyone want another way to level?

I understand that sure, some people want to go back through the story and take screenshots, and I'm happy for those people that they get to do that with all of the different resources (gpose etc) that we have now. But that's a minority, I'm sure. I know there are a lot of people like me that didn't know there wouldn't be exp for doing several QUESTS, and were excited at the prospect of a different way to level other jobs. Because, let's be real - you can only do PoTD, HoH etc so much. I love doing quests. It gives me something to read and different settings. I'm not alone here.

I wasn't going to use it anyway because I'd rather just use another character, but I never once expected we would get EXP or any other reward from this and it still boggles my mind that anyone else thought otherwise.

Okay, sure. Fine. But for, you know, a lot of people who play this game specifically, we like to have it on one character. To see it all filled out eventually maybe. That's what's great about it. It's not WoW where you HAVE to make 15 characters to experience all of the classes etc. You make one character and that's all you really have to do. That's one of the great things about this game.

The one problem is how soul-destroying it can be to level a new job sometimes. Like I said before; you can only do PoTD and HoH, the same low level dungeons back to back, so many times before you have to just...not do that anymore. FATES are dead, so that's not REALLY viable, so that leaves leves, which aren't terrible, sure. But, if I had a DREAM way to level, it'd either be through MSQ on a new job (same character) or make FATES relevant again. Because that was seriously so much fun back in ARR with everyone running around. The world felt more alive, I guess. But that's not what this post is about.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect EXP for doing QUESTS, is ultimately what I'm getting at. Any video game gives it for quests. Especially MMO's. So... I don't think it should be an issue.
