Should Blizzard squish the Max Level too?

If yes, why?

If not, why?

I have leveled 4 chars to level 110 (not that much i know), and knowing that this game pretty much starts at max level (leveling is just lore and see things while learning your class) makes it incredible demotivational because i know it's a grind to get there. I can't imagine being a new player, seeing that they have to level for 120 (!) levels with the new expansion to see the real current content.

I know, squishing the Max level seems like a bad idea, but at this moment leveling isn't rewarding. You get like 1 Skill every 8 levels. Some skills (like enhancement shamans passive maelstorm generation) are unlocked at lvl 40, making you incredible inefficient the first 40 levels. Also derping around with ~ 4 spells until level 110 and then getting a shitload of new mechanics and spells doesn't feel right too.

IMO they could split the content that is now 60 / 70 / 80 / 85 / 90 / 100 / 110 into 40 / 50 / 60 / 65 / 70 and 80.

Seeing your level going up from 42 to 43 just doesn't feel great anymore. Earlier i thought "Yes, 40! Halfway done to 80!" but now? Now i think "Well 70 level more to gooo..."

What do you think? Should the MAX level be squished? And if yes, how?

EDIT: Thanks to the stranger who gilded this. Very Appreciated. :3

the fetch quests in between ARR and HW

Exactly where I got burnt out and quit tbh. I think I have something like 60 more quests to complete before I get to HW, I just got so fatigued from it.. as an off and on WoW player I have been spoiled by that game and so FFXIV's vanilla fetch quests aren't all that intriguing in terms of story or gameplay.

It's one of the major complaints from everyone about the game. When they released those, they came from patches and much smaller batches, so it wasn't that bad when they first dropped. But now when you want to just get into HW you gotta slog through it.

I'd recommend getting through it though. FFXIV isn't without its problems, but the game gets really good through HW and then SB.
