Problems With FFXIV that SE should do something about.

EXP
The amount of exp needed to gain levels is way too high.

It's really not. I went from R37-R39 in ONE night doing guild leves at 2 camps with a party. Get a party of 8 (max party bonus), leve link(bonus) and use guardian's aspect(bonus) and then honestly try and tell me that SP gains suck. It's really not all that bad once you figure out how to properly level. Sure you can solo grind but of course that's going to be MUCH slower.
