Thinking of Returning, But...Follow

Hey everyone. It's been a while. I cut right to the chase. By the way, trying to find something out on the official Forums... well, I just wonder who made the bonehead decision to only allow current subscribers to log in. How are people wanting to try or return supposed to get the exact info they want without scouring through tons of irrelevant info? Well, with that out of the way, now I'll get to the meat.

I'm thinking about picking this up again, but one thing will be the deciding factor, more than likely. Last time I quit, it was due to the tedium of doing Levequests over and over and over again, just to get about 2 xp towards the 100,000+ you needed for the next level of one of your secondary classes. Have they added any content to help smooth out the tedium of trying to level your secondary classes? I'm not one for mindless grinding of mobs or running dungeons ad nauseam, as long as I've got a healthy pool of content or quests (I now, artificial entertainment) to choose from, I'll be set. Thanks for the guidance. :)

Meh, that's disappointing to hear. Pretty much the same as when I left. I may come back for a bit and see if it can pull me back in, but not sure how long I'll stay. Thanks for the reply, Callinon, and good to see ya again. :)

I had very little trouble leveling a second job, but I could see it getting pretty boring beyond that.

Yea end game has not changed much... I am still paying for the game but have not logged in in a while. Thinking of dropping my sub till something that is actually new comes out.

I have been playing FFXI in between.

It really depends how hard you want to go at it.

I did a combination of dungeons, FATE grinding and quests (I didn't do all of them as I took my first job to 60).

If you haven't yet made the journey from 50-60, something that would definitely help is to not do any sidequests as you take your first job to 60. Then, you can do all those sidequests on your second trek to 60, which makes things more interesting.

I actually didn't do a single leve when leveling up my second job... had I been bored enough, I would have considered it though. There are also new levequests that give massive amounts of exp in exchange for like 10 allowances. They're not really worth it if you're a hardcore grinder, but if you don't grind heavily on leves, then they're worthwhile.

If you don't do the sidequests, then you'll have to grind some dungeons but it isn't really that bad. The Heavensward dungeons are all actually pretty fun.

Also, you get a significant EXP bonus after taking your first job to 60, and you can also get exp on your high-level job now while doing the low-level roulette, which adds some nice variety. The game has reached a point where it has a ton of old dungeons, and it's fun going back and revisiting that content.

Do you happen to use Firefox with noscript? They have some sort of Ghostlight payment service that doesn't show up on Noscript to actually allow/unallow when the page is loaded, but Noscript will block.

I tried updating my payment method (new card at end of year) and failed twice in a row. Turned off Noscript temporarily, and it went through no problem.
