I love how people think just because some of us think that leveling is to fast, that we were power leveled. I leveled every single one of my jobs from 1-50 and two of them before the exp change and before the implemented EXP "Grinding" parties. I hate leves so much but I enjoyed taking my first two jobs from 1-50 so much more because I actually felt accomplishment from them when I was finished. Shit I think i leveled my last 4 jobs in 2 weeks from lvl 10-50, while is was boring as fuck its just stupid that I was able to do it no matter how much i played. Someone that had the desire and will power to level all DoW/DoM jobs to 50 within one month could do so very easily now, and in my opinion that is so sad considering leveling should be 1/2 the game. I have a buddy that started just over a month ago and he already has 3 50's has a full time job and does events every night when he gets home from work.. I mean seriously??? this game is way to easy.. People talk about job balance, and yeah, we all know it is bad but part of the problem is because everyone has every job. People would of learned to do ifrit or AV or CC without job stacking if not everyone had BLM.

I personally thought it was a blast leveling my character in ffxi. I am also not ignorant and know there are many that do not like the grind which is why I think the leve system is actually a good system as much as i personally hate it. The problem lies not only in how long it takes to level but the battle content itself. Everyone in this thread is correct when they say leveling is boring as hell, I never said it was fun, but I do want some accomplishment out of it when I am finished. Nevertheless, at the rate this game will go, parties will always job stack as well considering everything in this game is AOE AOE AOE. Is ifrit the only fight in the entire game where you dont really need AOE? This goes for exp parties as well. This multiple mob shit sucks balls and needs to go. IF leveling was more fun I think people would change there minds on how the pace of leveling is. Malakii is so right though when he said it is destroying this game, because it truly is. I cant even log on and play anymore because I have NOTHING to do.... I go to college, have a job, and play sports and yet I have everything 50.. This should never be and it makes me sick that I have pretty much beat everything this game has to offer...
