And there is where you draw the line between FFXIV and FFXI. In XIV you have options, in XI you don't. I like it how it is, the devs like it how it is, most people like it how it is. Open to your own playstyle.
Who's to say that the end game is the bad part? I've become intensely bored with end game to the point that I only really do it if someone needs an extra person. It's all point of view and also, you're not arguing for your point here. Why would you add deleveling if leveling is shallow in the first place?

Also, to your earlier insinuation that I don't play as much as you do, you really should do some fact checking.
Well perhaps I should have specified that I wanted certain things to change on 2.0. That's why I specified the "2.0".
While I don't like the fact that PLing is possible right now, it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a shortcut like that. Everybody is doing it and if they don't, well it's up to you if you want to waste more hours with solo content. I'm more up for social/interactive content.

What I would be proposing is both deleveling + harder to level up + require mandatory EXP parties beyond lvl 10 to level up + impossible to solo beyond lvl 10 + impossible to PL.
