ffxi gameplay was not slow

[Akumu]

If ffxiv leves are so fun, why are people so drained after 2-3 hours of it. In ffxi, I partied 18 hours straight with very short breaks for food and bathroom no problem.

I think its the constant running around vs standing in one area pulling mobs to you.

This. It makes you wonder why do ffxi vets hate leves so much when all we did before was stand in one spot for hours killing the same thing. At least now we get to move with some added variety. >.> lol

The main problem is most people are sick of those kind of grinds. Most games you have to grind for levels but there are a lot of ways to make it more enjoyable. Leves also are for casuals but since it's really the ONLY content people are annoyed. Once there is more to do those with time won't care and those with little would request more balance and to add more of a variety.
