Please give everyone the Road to 70 buff

[322]

Hello, I think that most players will agree that the leveling experience in the game is overall grindy and boring (not counting MSQ), especially if the class is two button spam until a certain level, like dragoons until level 60, as I've heard.

The Road to 70 buff doubles all exp gained and lasts for 90 days after a character has been created, and then is taken away from the character forever. After 90 days have passed, I can't be bothered to level any class anymore, however I want to.

That being said, I don't understand why the buff is taken away after 90 days, which is not enough to level up all wanted classes to max level, and I suggest that everyone gets the buff, and it lasts forever. Players will lose nothing of value if everyone gets the buff. Doing this will make the already painful leveling experience a lot faster.

This game isn't very grindy compared to other MMO's. You can get most classes to seventy in a few days (each) without the buff. Just play the game and enjoy it. It's not all about maxing out every class. And if you REALLY want to have every class at 70 right away, there's a jump potion for each class.

I dunno man, I think levelling is fun.
I don't wanna just blitz a job to cap in part because I need the time to learn it.
And if you get bored levelling you've got plenty of options:
Duties / roulettes / squadrons & trusts
Hunting log (prior to 50)
Deep dungeons
PVP
Fates
Hunts
Etc.
Yoshi P has said that he wants to make levelling in and of itself fun, and there's a plethora of ways you can enjoy the process. You could do something different basically every 10 levels.

And be careful what you wish for.
If they gave everyone a permanent exp buff they'd probably balance things out by having things reward less exp.
Otherwise people going through main story will even more quickly outpace the quests levels.

How about give it to no one instead? It's insane that new players joining the recommended servers over-level their MSQ so damn much, that they're hitting the current level cap while still being in Heavensward and then get confused about gear, job action quests and all other things which are locked behind MSQ progress. Honestly adding XP to the old cap MSQ was already a mistake, "Road to" buffs are just a whole new level of bad progression design.

Not really needed. It doesn't take that long to level everything. You can get a job leveled to max every couple days if you try, or about a week or 2 if you just do roulettes.


I've had everything to 80 for months now, and get everything to level cap within a few months of each expansion drop.

The Road to 70 buff easily allows you to level three jobs to 80 before finishing Shadowbringers even a more leisurely pace. If you want to continue leveling beyond that, maybe play the game? If that buff stays permanent, they mat as well just start you at level 50 instead.

Leveling in this game is like night and day compared to Lineage2. That game's grinding to max is hellish.
