Just remove leveling altogether if it's such a hindrance.

[Anonymoose]

Says the same guy that claims anyone enjoying a leveling experience like in classical FFXI must somehow have cognitive dissonance.

How does that quote line up with that notion?

You really take things too personally; it's a fact: some people, in response to doing a task that they do not like, develop an artificial liking for that task. "I must like doing this if I spent all day doing it!" It happens.

It's also a fact that sometimes the feeling of delayed gratification is more due to the wait than the achievement - such is the case in many types of MMO grind, in my humble opinion. I, personally, would appreciate less of that. XIV can take that direction, and I'll take a different direction than XIV, no big.

Who even said I was talking about specifically you? I sure didn't.

Almost every single one of your responses is bascially "I disagree, so you must be completely wrong on every conceivable level." I wasn't even talking about you. It wasn't your thread. I didn't even notice you were there.

Why waste time attacking me? Argue your point, make your case, make this thread something that won't just get locked. Let's debate game mechanics.
