Leveling is pain

[TheMightyMollusk]

The game def need to reward player with more xp. in GW2 and WoW, you can easily reach level cap whitin like 1-3 days whitout tryharding or using the most efficient mechanic. In here if you don't do the fastest content (roullete) you're just slowed even more down.

I don't know GW2 very well (I tried it out for a few weeks, wasn't terribly impressed, haven't touched it since), but in WoW, the endgame is the main focus and leveling is just the time sink to get to it. In FFXIV, the story is the main focus, so leveling faster doesn't really matter much unless you also buy a story skip, because the story is gonna gate the content anyway.

The story is the main focus but it not like we get to experience it and get msq exp with more than like, 2 classes at best for each xpac. I don't mind leveling like, 2 classes with the story, since the MSQ xp is fine and make you progress, well, with the story. But when it time to level the like, 16 others classes in the game you basicly just have dailies and after that the xp gain is painfully slow.
