I feel SE is screwing up royally. They better give a benefit to group leveling or they are going to shoot themselves in the foot.

They have no reason to remove leveling by exploring the world and killing what is in it, and I am hoping they are not nerfing it to where Solo Questing > Group grinding... or they have screwed up like so many other mmos have.

They should of just added many different ways to level, not force the community into one method.

A WoW clone is the quickest way to end XIV, because there is simply no way this game can out mainstream GW2, Tera, ToR, and WoW:Panda Land. They will get few ppl who will stay and will lose what they already have.

A mmo is about community and SE needs to realize this... People are not going to give them time at 2.0 to fix this if they screw up that fundamental concept.
