I agree we're leveling too fast on Preferred worlds with Road to 70. I've got an alt who just unlocked Stone Vigil (level 41 MSQ). She's level 54 on SMN/SCH and 43 on PLD. I've done almost no side content outside of class/job quests, the class hunting logs and whatever was needed to rank up with her GC (still need to do Aurum Vale).

It feels extremely awkward and unbalanced to be at such a high level with such low MSQ progression. It would be far worse if I was doing daily roulettes and other side content as players are usually expected to do, and hadn't picked up a second job to act as a sponge for some of the excess XP from MSQ. In a way, it might not be helping roulettes. Here I am leveling both healer and tank role jobs and I'm actively avoiding doing roulettes simply because I want to reduce the rate that my job levels are outpacing the MSQ level.

Perhaps Road to 70 bonus XP shouldn't apply to MSQ content, only to side content that's generally used to level extra jobs?

I don't know what it's like to level on Standard or Congested worlds, though. It could be the pacing is much better.

I am not asking for wow level of gil here (5 mil in 3 quests). But ya know maybe a 1k or 500-1k? Gil means nothing anyways with the markets overrun by bots and undercutting. There is no economy. So why not be a smidge more generous?
MSQ is not intended to be a gil maker. What you earn from MSQ is intended to cover what is needed to complete the MSQ.

If you want to be making gil, you should be doing side content to earn it.
