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.
I'm telling you right now, FFXIV 2.0 will still have Monsters to kill, in an interview back at E3 there was a question as to why there were no monsters? Yoshi-P said they aren't hooked up to any Server so there is nothing be the Character and the surrounding area with no monsters. ( this was when Yoshi-P was on his Laptop showing to the people behind closed doors of 2.0 in its early stages).

There will be Monsters Roaming to kill like normal, just they are adding other means of getting exp besides grinding on mobs all day long. For the people that can't tolerate doing the same thing over and over again.
