    Alt Job Leveling. Not a fan.

    With all the love and effort they put into MSQ, I wish they would let us replay some or all of it with xp to level up alt combat jobs.

    Seems very weird to make us run around doing FATEs, and spamming dungeons and stuff.

    Seems like a confusing waste of time, imo.

    I would love to re-do the MSQ a few more times and really enjoy the brilliant storytelling, and be able to use that time to work on alt jobs.

    What do you think?

    I just wish the side quests gave enough XP to be worth doing, personally.

    They do allow you to do that. New Game+ is a thing.

    I specifically said "with xp"

    I am aware that New Game exists.

    Yep, even if they have the same exp as a fate in the zone.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    New Game+ doesn't give rewards.

    I agree, I wish there was a better array of level-up options, especially pre-50 when all the dungeons suck and your rotation is like 1-2 buttons. Unfortunately it's in Square's best interests to keep dungeon and roulette-bashing as the most efficient way to level up, because if the queues for content get long this game is in trouble.

    Honestly, I would be happy if they made older xpacs fates worth doing, nothing feels worst than wasting 5 minutes clearing a boring fate that no one does only to get neglectable exp or having the queue pop before you can finish it.

    Like, damn, I enjoying dungeons from time to time, but leveling through them is so bad, especially when you are leveling a DPS. Wait 11 minutes in queue while sitting in your favorite hang out spot > have a chance to get an unexperienced tank that pulls pack by pack making the dungeon take twice as long, either way low level dungeons tend to be boring due to oversimplifed rotations > finish the dungeon > repeat. Prime example of MMO player's brain being able to endure the most monotonous of task.

    Yeah... Leveling an alt is easily one of the most boring things to do in this game, at least it feels that way to me. Unfortunately I am bound by the curse of altoholism, it is what it is...

    Usually the Beast Tribes give fantastic exp. Not sure when they plan to introduce EW's beasties.

    Early in expansion the leveling options are more limited. Although one can ride Bozja to 90 as well.
