Who else is planning to take their time?

[Seercia]

I'll certainly be taking my time, especially as work will keep me busy most of the week. Though those first twenty levels will be blitzed considering how many times I played that around during beta.

[Gucci_Charms]

I'll be mixing it up depending on work, outings, and free time which can be devoted to ARR

[Tam3n]

Yeah, especially during phase 4 many of us were busy leveling and "getting ready for the early access and launch" during the few intense weekend days.

Now on though I plan to just mostly keep up my main class level with my linkshell buddies as we often do dungeons and quests etc together.

When I'm not doing that, I'll try out gathering/crafting, level up other classes and explore the word.

[Ziar]

I plan to spend most of my time Fishing anyways :P

[finiteHP]

I'll be taking my time reading all the quest, and talking to every npc.

[AlasirSummerwind]

The journey itself is the reward. I plan on taking a brisk, comfortable pace myself. Plenty to see. Plenty to do. And certainly plenty of crafts to take up.

[Kresnik]

A little bit of both! I'm rushing through all the story elements I already did during Phase 3, but I'll be taking my time when it comes to the new content I wasn't able to explore.

[Masha]

I've been taking my time.
I can understand the point of view of those who want to reach the top first, but I like to take it slow and really take in everything around me.
I'm going to take tons of screenshots as well.

[SkyeWindbinder]

I will definitely be taking my time. I plan to read all quest dialogue, explore, adventure, and soak in the lore of ARR. For me, the game is wasted if I just rush to the end.

[Reuskon]

I'm probably going to end up playing alone despite a few others joining the game with me, mostly just due to the fact that I'm going to progress so slowly just trying to do everything I can each level. I play online games for entertainment and relaxation, and to me, running the same handful on instances that have been rehearsed to near perfection endlessly != fun or entertaining, which is all end game ever seems to be. I don't care much for the gear grind unless it makes my character look amazing.

At least because of level sync my friends can still run instances with me once they get far ahead?
