[suggestion] Sidequests and Rewards

[kAhn360]

Grouping doesn't need to be forced. It needs to be viable and rewarding. That's how you get people to group, not by making solo activities unrewarding.

Also, with the current pace, even in several years, giving quests decent XP/SP rewards will never allow people to level to cap with only sidequests. There simply won't be nearly enough of them.

To put things in perspective, a game that's structured for questing-only leveling up has an average of 600-800 quests from level 1 to cap. It'll be several years before FFXIV gets to that level.

Very well said. Sorry guys... Gotta rant a bit. At this point and time, an with how the questing has been implemented there really is absolutely no real reason to do any of these quests. Rewards are a joke. The fact that on top of not earning ANY experience/skill ups AT ALL as final reward or for even going out an killing required mobs is ridiculous. I do not understand how anyone on the Dev team thought completely cutting off EXP an Skill ups was a good idea. It's beyond me. The quests are absolutely nothing but glorified time sinks sat behind pretty graphics. No inclining of player progression at all. Wastes of time. Plain an simple.

I was so excited when I first heard bout side quests being put in thinking "Yes, they are finally adding some content to this barren game." Then read release notes was confused an disappointed with the decisions they made with these quests, but still logged on to try some out an left feeling nothing but let down ONCE AGAIN. I soon after just logged off an decided well, i guess I'll be staying logged off with my fingers cross for next update like i have been doing.

Coming from playing the greatness that is FFXI for 5 years, an wanting to experience something new.. I just don't understand how they could have dropped the ball this badly an continue to do so. Just makes no sense to me. Things behind the scenes are getting where they need to be like bug fixes, tweaking UI, an overall game playing better but STILL no real content. Can you imagine if this wasn't free to play? Honestly.
