I don't think a 2nd thread is necessary♪

I enjoy levelling in this game, I like being able to level in a party or solo/duo and still make progress even when low-man unlike in XI's early days (I'm talkin' before FoV & ToAU).
Soloing back then was painfully slow unless you were SMN or BST and even then it could be slow depending on where you camp was.

In XIV if I want to level fast I'll party, if I want to take my time and just grind I'll solo or duo. I enjoy both but I do tend to gravitate toward solo/duo more.

Everyone in the community has a different playstyle; some like to just get it over with, while others like to take their time and relax. That's the beauty of the game, it caters to both.

If you think levelling is way too fast, you could opt for slower means to level for yourself in either solo or duo circumstances.

The beauty of XIV is that casual players can actually make progress here in little time, unlike in XIV where you had to put away a good few hours for a decent party (Not counting the seeking time which was absolutely awful depending on which job you were and if you couldn't make your own party)

I'm going to stop rambling for now♪
