Quest based leveling: Future problem?

[AlaulaTheGreat]

Okay, as a person who has played a couple of different MMOs, quest based leveling worked for them mainly because it was one storyline for the one class that you chose to level. However, we have an armory system, where you level multiple classes on one character and experience all the the story on the one character.

Anyone see the problem yet?

Lets say I'm a noob, just finished leveling my warrior 1-50 or where ever our new cap may end up being through quest. What if I decided to level Dragoon, would the quest restart on their own, or will I have used all my quest up for my second job.

I like questing to gain experience, but I'd just like some comments if this will be the case.

They said they were adding lots and lots of quests, and since the speed of leveling will stay fast, I'd assume there will be enough quests for all DoW/M classes at least.

But what if for example for the person who didn't know better and did ALL their 1-20 quest cause it was such an interesting storyline.
It would be weird, but I think that if you switch class so should the progress of current quest lines. This prevents people who decide "Ha, I'll start the quest on my level 10 MRD, and finish it on my 50 THM, and then collect it on my 10 MRD!"
But hey, if perchance there are like over 1,000+ new quest being added, shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Dungeons, and quests. That is how the future of leveling up in FFXIV is.

--->GO HERE >>> RUN THERE >>>> KILL THING <<<<< GO BACK <<<< GET 10000exp. Repeat.

You can't have that many quests and make them all unique and interesting. Especially when it's going to be like; GET YOUR NEXT QUEST HERE -> (!) FOLLOW THE ARROWS -> Might as well have path follow on this game.

That's really silly. Skyrim doesn't even have that many quests.

What does an offline game have to do with an MMO?

They are comparable in this case. Skyrim had hundreds if not thousands of quests. All hand crafted by devs. It would take more than that number of quests to level 7+ combat classes and 12+ crafting/gathering classes to 50, even if the exp gain was 1 level per quest. And in order for those quests to not be boring they would also need to be hand crafted by devs, else we just may as well keep leves.

I believe they said they'd add even more quests every patch too, eventually we should reach the 1000 marker. Even if you do run out, there's always leves to do, as long as they improve them in ARR.

Those leves are the trash quests, why not make a few amazing quests rather than 1000 trash quests mixed with even more trash quests(leves)

Better yet, why not make a few amazing quests and 1000 trash quests?
