Leveling is pain

[Zyvex]

All my side Jobs sitting at 90, being neglected like the middle children...

Leveling is such a repetitive pain and unsatisfying grind, that burns out any sane mind... Why not make it a little more interesting and rewarding?

My proposal:
Make Ultimates give an ungodly amount of exp. Specifically make them give perfectly enough exp to bump you +10 levels from the Ultimate's original level.

So UwU and UCoB push you from 70-80,
TEA from 80-90,
DSR and TOP from 90-100.

That way there is actual incentive to do it and to learn other jobs.
It would reward being good at the game, increase job diversity as more people would actually learn more jobs and cause an outrage among casuals for everyone to enjoy. No downsides.

What do you think? Make this post blow up or be forgotten... Whatever it shall be, SqEx ignores it anyway...... UNLESS?

Edit: Let me add, that ofc u have to be gatekept somehow, otherwise this wouldn't be ffxiv! So to unlock the exp feature on a patch n.1 / n.3 ultimate you will have to finish the n+1.0 patch MSQ

Just buy the boost, you peasant

Yes. Also I demand Ultimates to be nerfed. Or I will strike.

You don't need to level all jobs NOW. Just take a break from levelling them for now.

The boost doesn't help if all jobs are already at 90.

Ultimates giving EXP is one thing, but them giving +10 of their unlock level is completely broken, at the very most I would have them give 3/4 a bar of a level.

Most people aren't going to be incentivized to learn an entire ultimate for the sake of levelling a job.

Now imagine if they had released the new "open field" content right now instead of waiting 8 months, you wouldn't be here complaining, you'll be playing the game.

But nooo let's dilute the content so much even the expansion release feel like a glass of tap water, sticking to the usual formula is such a miss play after Endwalker content drought + the awful 7.0 msq at that point it feels like someone in Square Enix is trying realy hard to sabotage the company

Levelling is very fast an easy in this game. Even currently you can do 90 to 100 in 3 days per job casually - less if you grind 90 Alliance raids. We probably have 2 to 2.5 years of this so if you are already all at 90 levelling is just a drop in the bucket of keeping entertained.

I'm pretty sure bonus XP is mostly designed to have you interact with the majority of the playerbase from various roulettes to keep them reasonably populated.

The real levelling pain is the queue times as a dps. You want me to wait 20 whole minutes just for one dungeon?! That’s against my human rights! *cries in healer main*
