ARR class progression

Could you at least try to explain what is so exciting about half afking killing tons of the same mob for hours? VS. doing quests that will give you gear,gil and a piece of lore and wont root you at one spot but it will make you travel around and explore...it is laughable the amount of people that didn't know all the lore behind 1.0 from the intro to end of an era. whining and bitching the extended "new beginning" video makes no sense...when actually the real problem was that they didn't get the necessary quests done..

Its a preference, i happen to enjoy killing mobs in parties. Especially if its a funny party. Its what i expect from FF games. My personal playstyle was to stay back and grind lvl. Like in FF4 Im usually 15-20 lvls above the part of the story that im usually suppose to be. Grinds dont bother me. I have no problem with quest based lvling as long as its fun the whole time, except if it Escorting or just running around the world a thousand times. Like think if quest in 11 made you run from Bastok al the way to lets say Ro Moave, then all the way back Bastok for a 3 second cutscene or not even a cutscene it gives a friggin item and then have to run all the way back to ro moave no warping just running. That is stupid and boring to do running al that running for cutscene of just talking.

Im just frustrated that SE isnt even trying to find happy mediums.

I really hope they do since I agree with you that parties are sometimes a lot of fun. Some of my fondest memories from 1.0 are from killing cactuars near Horizon to level and inviting people that came by. I got to know a lot of my in game friends that way and in one case the party we formed there continued over a week all the way to getting to 50 in Natalan as we all got to know each other along the way.

Having said that I also pride myself on doing all the quests so for me it is really important that there is a combination of both.
