Am I missing something about leveling?

[Moonflower]

As far as leveling new classes up from level 1...if you've done all the low level quests and stuff in the area (on your main class) do you rely on just FATE and leves for getting your alt classes up?

End Game so fast in a matter of weeks. :P

You mean days

[Renzokusen]

To be honest though it really isn't their fault that people have just rushed to the End Game so fast in a matter of weeks. :P

In less than a week.

No many tanks and even less healers.

You have that backwards. Its the tanks that are the scarcest of all. Yoshida came out and said so, while trying to encourage more people to play as tanks.

If you want to reduce your time in DF, enable all languages and the option to enter a dungeon that's already started. The language barrier is rarely an issue.

This. As dps, if i just select english and fresh start, i can wait a decent time, but if i select the others, i've had it pop in just a couple minutes. (mostly it seems almost no one chooses to do an in progress). The only issue is getting a tank or healer to join if they drop, as they can get instant anyway.

Fates, hunting logs, leves, dungeons, that sort of thing. Remember, the higher your main, the better xp a lower class will get. It's not close to having story and side quests, but it's not as bad as people make it out.

Yes you need to go through the dungeons to advance the main story quest. Though it is not all dungeons, some are optional.
I guess they are correct in saying that once you do all the quests it's grind with FATE parties or Dungeons until they release more quests or the next expansion comes out.

In fact it is entirely their fault that people have leveled that fast. Nobody else made the game and made it possible. To be honest you should say things out loud and think "Is this stupid?" before you post.

Probably you are right. I get it wrong, i supposse.

As marauder i have no problem to get a party.

Thanks for the replies guys! As for the duty finder...are people just not using it? The times I have been in it, it shows me as the only person waiting forever, not even dps are added or joining? Is there a better way to go about getting into the dungeons?

First of all - always select all 4 languages on the top, don't leave there just your default one - this will noticeably decrease the waiting times. Secondly - it pretty much depends on the on your class category - tanks and healers get almost instant DF joins while DPS are waiting for the former two to join. Lastly - you can team up with at least one other friend and then join the DF queue together - you're more likely to be quickly joined by other 2 players nedeed. Failing all above - you can always try to either /shout for the group for particular dungeon or watch the chat for shouts of other players and offer help / joining where you can, Before you know it you'll have a bunch of people on your friend list.
