i think it depends on each individual,and differs from person to person. if he is a new player for mmorpg ,simpler maybe better.however, if he has played amounts of games,simpler game will lose population.
Campaign is also a nice bonus, getting XP while lfp is awsesome it was verry welcome when I was leveling Dragoon and I didn't have time to do 4h+ parties
Translation: I couldn't be bothered to put in the time and effort to level legitimately, BUT I STILL WANT ALL THE BENEFITS OF THOSE WHO DO, so just Give Me free xp.
Hell, why not just BUY an account? Then you won't have to put in any effort at all.
This "casual friendly" trend in pandering to the Lazy is ruining gaming.
How about this: If You Can't Put In The Time and Effort Required For A Game, Don't Play The Damn Game !
Your idea of legitimate and what is required to play the game 'right' are not everyone's.
I got my first jobs to 75 long before the recent additions, in fact, they reduced the exp requirements just after I got my rdm to 75, but I didn't complain because others coming along would get to 75 with less exp than it took me. It's a game, not a punishment.
Just because someone has time to waste does not make them better than everyone else. It's about enjoying the game in the time you do have. I think SE has made some nice changes to allow people who have other things in life besides ffxi to relax and enjoy a great game.
Long before all these changes, people were getting PLs (my personal pet peeve because that does teach new players terrible habits for parties later on). So even before these changes, 'l33t' players were trying to take short cuts to 75. SE is just trying to find a better way to allow players to enjoy the game.
Level sync helps with finding a group tremendously. I still see PLs and probably always will, but at least people can't use the excuse that they couldn't find a legitimate party so they had to PL anymore. They are choosing to do it. Is it the way I want to play? No, I will walk out on a PL, but I don't hold it against others who don't feel the same way. Now when I get in a party with someone who has no clue how to play their job because they've only ever been PL'd, THEN I may decide never to party with them again (depending on their willingness to learn their job).
It's not like you don't know who has a bought an account or a person who has no idea how to play their job because they've always been PL'd, and that was true long before these changes.
Campaign adds a new type of enjoyment. It's not like you could get to 75 if all you did was campaign. The exp is scaled till 61, and you don't get skillups. It's hardly a replacement for grouping. It's a new and different way to enjoy the game.

Sorry, but it didn't say "because I never had time to party". It's still the most efficient way to exp, it just means they could get some exp at a slower rate instead of not partying. You still have to work for the exp or you don't get any. The only time it was free exp was the buff bot issue, which has been killed off. That and you don't get any skillups and it's exp is cut until 61 like it has already been said.
I'm all for not letting people get a free pass to 75, but there is nothing wrong with Campaign and Besieged for getting some extra exp while contributing to something. Just standing around and getting free exp is a bad thing.

perhaps an easy handled game doesn't suit me for i always favour challenge.
the answer should be based on various factors. Such as whether the character is beautifully designed or whether there are numbers of quests.
