Faster leveling N0o0o0o0o0o!

[Gramul]

But right now it is, which is why I want faster leveling >.>

Lets have faster leveling because we don't have midgame content because we're focusing on engame so we should have faster leveling because we don't have midgame content because we're focusing on engame so we should have faster leveling because we don't have midgame content because we're focusing on engame so we should have faster leveling because we don't have midgame content because we're focusing on engame so we should have-

Seriously please keep leveling the way is, or make it slightly slower... I really don't understand people that want a level-less game?! I mean its a MMO every MMO i know of has leveling... when I think of MMO's I think of RPG's with online friends/player real people. Thats the appeal to me... Don't play the game if your upset you cant have everything given to you... These people that want this are the same people that cheat/hack games so they can just have everything or take advantage of someone they actually think its fun to have a aimbot or whateva. Just how i feel, deal with it.

IMO grinding is important. In a game like this it should, by using "normal methods", take around 3 months to reach a class cap. Faster than this just makes the journey itself meaningless, equipments under the cap useless, contents under cap being wasted and the most important...depreciates the player skill.

I can't really understand why of such changes after seeing what happened to FFXI. But it might be good for FFXIV...this way players can haveall classes capped and do all content in a very short period of time so, when they leave for SoA, they won't even look back.

You see...with craft, quests and stuff i took around 5 months to get my first 50 at FFXIV. Friends that rushed it got the first 50 in around 3 months. IMO it was good enough...i don't see why having to level up faster than this.

To say that people don't want mid-game content is beyond absurd. And yeah, it actually does matter, considering it shows progression. I don't think we need to do a whole lot to the current levelling system, but we certainly don't need to make endgame the only thing this game has going for it.

Leveling should be a meaningful task, not just a means to an end. The game's event system is poorly designed all around. There ought to be dungeons and fun activities to do while leveling up starting at level 1. Slowing down exp'ing while adding more group activities to do at lower level will bring a lot to the game. As it is, the reasons to upgrade gear become lessened as you approach 50, until you finally hit it.

The game needs to slow down quite a bit imo. Leveling should not a grind but rather a process that takes time, but occupies you with a lot to do. I'd like to see the leveling curve stay the same but mobs give less exp. at the same time they should like level 10/20/30/40 dungeons, a few in each region, that provide players with some good gear for their level. They should only require small parties so people can get in them fast. The opportunity to teach people to play their classes is pretty much lost when all people think about is getting to 50. It has to be more than that. SE shouldn't let players squander their time grinding. It's mindless and most players learn almost nothing from it.

I wonder how it will pan out having leveling easier. Although all the best methods for leveling are common knowledge for most people right now, what will 2.0 bring?

I imagine new players will go through the same learning curve we all went through almost 2 years ago.

Veteran players that don't want to be maxed level on everything (so as to fully experience 2.0 from the ground up)
will have a learning curve as well, which could take months.

I say "no" to faster leveling outside of parties.

Just make a toggle, you can XP at the current rate or faster or you can XP at a snails pace to experience the game.

If no one truly cares about being able to say they have jobs at Lv50 and the argument is based on wanting to experience the game, then it shouldn't matter if someone else experiences it differently and decides their version of the game revolves around doing raids and primals.

Best idea. Notwithstanding what I've said on the subject previously, I really think the people who want always faster levelling or always slower levelling are a minority, and that most people want faster levelling sometimes and slower levelling other times.

It's very easy to get hung up on player 'types' and forget that they're just preferences that can change from session to session depending on your mood - or sometimes even within the same session. It's a bit weird to talk about catering to casuals or catering to the hardcore when most people change between going at it intensely and taking it easy more often than they change their underwear.

... What?

If the game gives me faster leveling options, I'm going to take it.

That said, I support keeping the leveling speed as it is right now, or even slow it down a little. SE saying that they'll make it faster just screams "We don't have enough content"

i still dont see where they said they are going to make it "faster"

they said itl be quick in 2.0, but its already quick now, so as i keep bringing up, that just means they arent going to change it
