Why no low-level nms?

[FelixTrapper]

I just started recently and one of my favorite aspects of FFXI was nm hunting. I noticed this game -does- have a good number of NMs, but it seems like the lowest level NM is in the upper 30's.

I had a lot of fun hunting for lower-level NMs in FFXI on my low level jobs. Why can't we have some in this game?

Lving process is to fast to place low level NMs for the sake of having low lv NMs which gear would most likely become obsolete by the next 5 lvs.

Pretty much this. The fact you can do 1 leve and hit level 5-7+ then (or) get pl'd to around 45 by the end of the day..there's no point for low-mid level content.

There honestly isn't as long as PL and fast leveling speed exists. In FFXI the speed was regulated, it wasn't too quick but it wasn't too slow unless you solo'd beyond party levels, even then it still took a bit of time to level so low-mid level content had a purpose for existing because you could actually partake in it, in XIV, you can blow through everything and not even know it exists.

I would be inclined to agree with you. But Yuhtunga Jungle would like a word with you, especially trying to get a party for Yuhtunga Jungle was bad. and then that 40-50 slump was pretty bad, too. While I don't think levelling right now is as slow as it should be, it does not need to be anywhere near as slow as it was in XI. At least now most of your levelling time isn't spent in Jueno with your party flag up.

I agree with this but @ Elexia ppl did the same thing in xi just lvled till they got to max, I remember pting with someone in the jungle(i was 27) and see the guy run past me in jeuno and he was 40 >_>. Lvling didn't take long in xi finding ppl to exp with did that's what ppl keep getting confused on. On my server when dnc came out someone had it to 75 in 72 hrs or less.

In my experience, the actual *leveling* speed was fair in FF11. It was the ridiculous amounts of downtime certain jobs would get during certain level ranges, and the time required to get to certain camps, that was slowing it down and generally being a pain in the ass.

What years are you guys referring to in XI's history? Prior to 2009 it was relatively easy to build or get invited to an XP party at just about every level range. IIRC, it was in 2009 (or close to it) that the lower level areas really started to slow down due to so much of the population being beyond them on classes that interested them and few new players coming in.

I feel like the misery in finding XP parties is over stated and that every area was pretty busy until mid 2008 at the earliest.
The Dunes usually had 5+ parties rolling at a time, Qufim usually had 5, the jungle would have 4 or 5, 3 in the Citadel, the Crawlers Nest would be packed, etc.

i feel like this game is lacking in NMs in general

I feel like this game is lacking in progression and leveling in general.

Yes it does lack NM's for all levels. Sadly like what was said above, with the way you can level up to 50 in a week the value of them would be almost nothing.
