This isn't a mobile game that you can just make it AFK or a sport in which you may pay for into the top level, and I think this is mostly focused on the aion classic kinah old player base while I do agree some parts of the leveling has been slow, but that is how it had been. You might say people do not have that much time anymore we're not kids anymore.... and?

In 2009-2010 I'd just started college and had to work too, because of the I was just able to play 2-3 hours every day and still enjoy most of the"grinding" and leveling, some of my legion-mates were busy with life and work, ofc there were individuals who may play with 6-7 hours every day but not even one could believe - Oh I am busy so this match should be faster to level up since"I" can't put the time...

You cant put the time that is ok, people have different schedules and responsibilities but this genre has been created for a slow burner, so that is one of the reasons why the genre remains in life-support because they try to make it fast and easy when this ought to be challenging and rewarding at the exact same time, you would not ask an FPS game to have an auto-aim right?

P.D. I really do agree with making the leveling somewhat quicker, but NCsoft has proven many times they can not restrain their greed and if they're given a small excuse, they will fill the match in the first 2 weeks with P2W stuff.

I can definitely see where you're coming out, but I am confident it will be far from'too' simple. It is still going to have a month or 2 at minimal for casual gamers to attain maximum level, even when they're enjoying everyday. The grind will still be there, we will nevertheless be doing FT many many occasions, grinding several elites and a lot of repeatable quests to go from 30-45, it is going to be less than it was at launch.

I remember launch had dual xp weekends as well every 1 - 2 weekends (EU did anyhow ), and it was excruciatingly slow. I expect there will be a mixture of people reaching 50 within a month that know the game inside out and have lots of buy aion classic kinah eu free time, along with others who take 2-3 months playing or spending some time on crafting/gathering skills instead.
