Quest Chaining!? <NO THANKS>

So what if he does? You aren't required to do them. You aren't required to do levequests. You aren't required to do anything you don't want to do.

What about the people that do use and/or enjoy that stuff? You have no right whatsoever to demand something not be added simply because you personally don't like it.

Ok, while everyone is leveling on quests, what should I do, i can't party grind. Which leads me to quest grinding.

Why not? We have quests that give EXP now and yet people still do parties.

"WAH! Nobody wants to play with me because they're doing icky quests!"

You do realize the quests that give exp doesn't give you near enough exp like quest chaining does right? If you PURPOSEFULLY design quests to level someone, no one will choose any other route, especially if the quest chaining is a solo experience (which it most likely will be.)

The main storyline initially gave an inflated amount of exp because it took an epic amount of exp to level your physical level. When they removed it they scaled back the exp which gives you just enough exp to boost your gauge but you can't cap off doing the main storyline alone. Granted you may not have played XIV when this was around.


With quest chaining, you can cap off. That's the difference. You can say "You have the choice" but when people feel 1 choice is better than the other, guess what? You no longer have a choice because everyone else will be doing the other thing.

Perfect example:

"If you want to do Ifrit, level Lancer."

Year later

"Btw, you need to stack THM/BLMs on Ifrit, LNC/DRG and PUG/MNK are worthless in this fight."

MMO communities just can't handle having choices no matter how much they beg for it.

There are a bunch of people, like myself, who will still do exp parties, because that's what we prefer.

Stop with the hyperboles already.
