[dev1021] Skill Points and EXP values are way too low.

This is my first mmo as well but I haven't had a lot of trouble ever finding a party or anything for levelinking purposes. I can understand a solo players frustration but...why solo? I thought mmos are for multiplayer interactions? Maybe it's just me but if I didn't have anyone to play with or at least talk to I don't know if I'd want to play. =p

Well then I must say I envy your ability to find R40+ levelink parties outside of your linkshell, good job! Can I steal some of that luck? ^_~ Despite having good active linkshells, there have been many times when there simply was no one in my rank range that was available to leve link with, even at peak hours. I can check in Ul'dah, ask at camp, wait -- with no luck. And sometimes I'll log in at off-peak times or at a time when I only have an hour or so. Perhaps this would not be an issue if the player base was larger and more varied, but I think that is sort of missing the point. If you have to find a group and link your leves for them to be decent (not great, just decent!) SP, then leves are not really a good option for the casual and/or solo player.

And I would like to point out that just because someone wants to be able to solo their leves for decent SP does not mean that they want to solo the whole game and are not sociable. ^^ Personally I would prefer to spend my group play time killing NM's or grinding on mobs that are not mongrels. xD
