FFXIV sells itself as an MMO where one character can become anything but its clear once you advance through the story the ability to gain EXP becomes solely based on FATEs or grinding leves.

FATEs are so overcrowded right now you barely get the oppurtunity to hit two buttons before it's over. Leves give crap for EXP and there are no EXP parties or dungeon runs for EXP.

This game bills itself as casual but being able to simply gain EXP is a nightmare.
