Gaining SP/EXP - Moving forward

[Jinko]

That's rubbish, the restrictions are obviously there to impede our progress (solo or not it makes no difference), the big problem is that in doing so they are making the game less fun to play as DonC said.

I don't know any other MMO out there that actually restricts its players from playing and enjoying the game.

Sure there is very little content to do right now, so the best we have is leves, quest, behest and grinding the last of which is miserably boring.

The discussion around Fatigue is moot at this point. Yoshi has already stated that they are looking at removing it in the time frame when they make the adjustments to the battle system and introduce dungeons. He's acknowledged that we need to let people play their characters the way they want and not have a forced incentive to multi-class rank up.

As long as they keep trying to maintain the guildleve system, their hands will be tied.

An example of what I believe would be your standard player:

I quit playing awhile back and I really enjoyed the game for the most part. The area’s that annoyed me the most was the leveling. It seemed like SE just wanted to hold us back so much that leveling past 25 was just a wall.

I have read a lot about the changes that are coming and I am getting excited about the class changes and combat changes. I do want to get back to playing, but I want to know how the game currently is as regards to leveling.

Can you level at a reasonable speed? Can you group/solo effectively? Those things were just so annoying to me when I playing awhile back. I couldn’t play with friends, because the SP was just so low for some vs others. Then they changed it and it was just a grind fest of low level mobs.

So how is it?

This is a post from here: http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/30649-leveling-up/. I think this would be common among lots of players, I know I feel the same and this hasn't changed very much since the release of the game. Leveling is still quite poor and the responses to give credit to this point..
