Then it worries me more, cuz now ppl is happy that they lvl fast and don't need to grind exp like XI or other games do, what will happen when ppl feel that to lvl 20-50 is a chore? I like ZAM cuz ppl really responds posts, in beta forums is a lot of hatters/white knights stuff, no valid points there really. I like the game, I have my V1.0 CE and gonna play it, I want it to be succesful, want to made memories, thing I did in XI and XIV 1.23. Maybe these betas are too short to feel that but my worries are there.
There will always be players that see the leveling experience as a chore or a grind. But the fact of the matter is that so far, up to level 20, it feels incredibly fluid. The pacing is spot on if you ask me. It took me about 6-7 hours to hit level 18. That sounds just about perfect to me. With the curve getting considerably higher at higher levels, I think it will take some more time, but nothing outrageous like in FFXI, and that is a good thing imo. I wouldn't be too worried about it. There is PLENTY to do in the game, and leveling all classes to cap will take quite a long time for most players. By then, more classes/jobs and endgame content will be released.
