What's the point of ranks?

oh and gift I played a good 10 games with quest lvling.... they are all dull. well minus dcuo that game just sucks. the combat and mission quests are pretty well written, just the exicution was repeatitive.

I never said quest-based levelling was better than self-motivated levelling.

But while we're on the subject, the thing I hate about some people around here is how they're always so quick to attack something rather than provide solutions or compromises for how it could work. I don't mean you're like this, because at least you acknowledged that it was the "execution" which was bad, but it's a very prevalent outlook all the same.

You see, maybe FFXIV could look at games with quest-based progression and see what made those games bad and then learn from their mistakes and actually IMPROVE upon the systems.
