Just have to push past the slightly disjointed 2.1 story release. I've been very entertained with the end game experience, and haven't felt the need to level another class since I'm greatly preoccupied.

It's only after I hit 50 the first time and didn't have the main quest stories to provide additional experience that it really got grindy to me. <br /><br />I'm not much of a dungeon runner, so to speed level my Ninja, I had to grind Fates and leves like crazy for a week straight. In fact, ran so many Fates... I earned the title for it on that character. THAT'S when it gets grindy. <br /><br />It's better than what it used to be, but still a lot of work for that second... third... fourth... class you try to bring up. It's discouraged me from leveling additional classes, even though I'd like to. I hit about the mid-20s and that's where I hit the wall until late 30s, where I can finally head to Coerthas, which usually has some kind of Fate group running. <br /><br />Keep pushing through, though. I really enjoyed the main story, and found it worth the time and effort.

The main story is gated by difficulty, not an arbitrary level requirement. The only time I notice my level in a Final Fantasy game is when I've hit a wall where a boss is kicking my ass - then, I simple grind a few more and return the favor.<br /><br />MMORPGs need to find a way to have levels but not have players focusing on them. I think all of the "progression" and gating just re-focuses our attention that we aren't tall enough for this next ride yet, so we better drink our milk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289459451344261371noreply@blogger.com
