Leveling progression rate ... again

[Mahoukenshi]

I think the OPs point was not the lack of xp, but that outside of dungeon treadmill and roulettes, most content give too little xp. Pixies being an notable exception. FATEs and subquests (who are a one-and-done deal) give a meager 1-2%, though to be fair the former can be combined with the weekly Challenge Log. They could theoretically increase quadruple subquest xp and it would have no effect on any roulette or dungeon treadmill due to its one-and-done deal, especially if you level all jobs on one character.

This game does indeed vomit EXP onto you for every little thing. The grind isn't effortless, but compared to the grind of FFXI jobs pre-Abyssea phew. Lol. It's like walking into a gift shop and being given a free T-shirt vs. handcrafting your own.

I had covered this already and quite clearly, but let's try a different method for you ... calling a rock a gold nugget 20 or 30 or 10000 times, still won't actually make that rock a gold nugget, it's still gonna be a rock afterwards. Based on modern MMO standards, there is no "stream of XP vomit" in FFXIV, I don't need opinion on THAT matter, and I don't take advice on THAT aspect of this discussion, I play multiple MMO's and KNOW this to be the case ... I believe what my eyes show me far ahead of what someone SAYS to me, this is not a case of, "Your lieing eyes have deceived you".

You got it, righ on the head

Did some lvl 70 FATE's this morning in SB and they are actually good and xp/level appropriate

I just saw that there was a quest sync system, precisely the system I was talking about earlier, that had been introduced in 5.0, although only for 70+ content. This is a good start, but it needs to be implemented across all expansions, so all those lvl 67 sidequests are level/XP appropriate in their rewards ... this solves my problem, no more eternal dungeon queues as the only real efficient option. I'll watch for this in future patch notes and when it goes live I will breath this game again. If they do what they did with the FATE balancing and the "Quest Sync" system in SB, applying it across all content, the game would be gold ... thanks everyone.
