    Are you implying that killing cactuars for 10 levels then killing diremites for 10 levels then killing ants for 10 levels then killing raptors for 10 levels then killing beastmen for 5-10 levels is a good system? They want to make this into a more modern MMO, they have said as much with regards to the UI and game systems, why should leveling be any different?

    This is why people will be disappointed if they're expecting XIV to have any good storyline from here on out. "Modern MMOs" still fail to deliver in the presentation and quest sections because people don't care for that, they care for loot.

    Read the guildleve dialogues sometime, it's the same thing as what you'll get from quest chaining for progression. The only difference between guildleves and quest chaining in mmos of today is that GLs have a restriction depending on your play activity.
