Why only FATES?

[Arec]

Why is it that FATEs seem to be the only thing that gives a good amount of exp worth doing?

Battlecraft leves and Dungeons arnt very motivating to do. BCleves feel like they arnt worth doing because the exp gain isnt very decent. And dungeons can have quite a que. Guildhests, only give a good amount of exp and rewards ONCE, and theyre hardly worth queuing up again on alternative classes/jobs.

Back to FATEs, it kind of stinks because you have to literally watch your map, try to get to them on time. Sometimes the map is PACKED full of people, can cause great lag. Among other stuff. To base the entire leveling alternate class leveling system on FATES doesnt sound good. Its going to make the game incredibly boring in a few months. Im really pushing for supporting on MORE alternative methods of levelings, and possibly a little increase of exp and rewards from Battlecraft leves and guildhests. Ill probably be blogging about Ideas on the lodestone that could work too.

I love the Guildleve system, I'd also like to see the EXP gain from it increased.

I support this statement.

Why does EVERYTHING else need to be increased?
Just nerf XP gain from FATES. They clearly weren't designed to be mobzerged.
Another thing I'm wondering... after seeing this thread and Amdapor speed run thread... what exactly is everyone's hurry?

Well, if you think about it. Level 40+ is pretty slow leveling. And its not about hurrying. ontop of that its evidential that theyre planning to raise the levelcap ALOT, Sense the leveling curve is not very steep at all till level 40. Its pretty fast up till 40. And once someone is done leveling there... first 1-3 classes. It becomes very very tedious. And with a game like FFXIV it does not hurt to have tons of variety.
SPECIALLY with an MMORPG type genre. Saying that its perfectly fine doesnt help the game improve or advance. Because its a fantasy world background with alot of free stuff to do. Ive played tons of MMORPGs, and having a wide variety of content to do. Instead of the linear stuff like leveling and PVP related mechanics. ALot of MMOs do lack variety. Different angels and roads to achieve the same thing. Again, with a game where you can be every class on one character... its the best type of game to have variety of alternative means to get to point B.

So much this. Leveling goes way too fast if you spam FATE's. Just nerf FATE XP otherwise everything in the game will take 3-5 days to max a class/job.

I think youre wrong about the MOBZERGED thing because its a OPEN DYNAMIC EVENT. Where players can participate regardless of being in a party or not. They also give a sense of life to the world. more interactivity. Open to the entire map.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

There is no other way to level your 2nd+ class ecxpet leves/dungeons/fates pretty much and it takes a long time to grind fates either way. Unless you are a neckbeard living in your moms basement with no job or life, grinding fates is about the only way to level at any reasonable speed. And I can't find it now but Yoshi already said these are working as intended, to level alt classes and they are going to leave them as is. This game is about the story and end game not about spending years leveling alt classes.

I hate grinding fates, they need to increase exp gaines in dungeons and battleleves to make it the same as fates and people will do different things. Why do a 45 minute dungeon run for 1/4 of a level when I can get almost a full level in that time grinding fates.

People hit 50 easily within a week. It's not other things that need a boost, it's FATEs that need a nerf.
