Is there a way to cancel your sub before they charge you?

You should grab a few folks and go around beating up beastmen and whatever mobs while nabbing a random Fate. It's really solid XP and if you do it in places other than the most populated zones, you can make the most out of a Fate. Fighting mobs above your level gives good XP and is still fairly easy in a group.

Is it literally all instances? Including the earlier dungeons?
No.
Phil drops:
Castrum Meridianum
The Praetorium
The Wanderer's Keep
Myth:
Ifrit Hard
Phil + Myth:
Amdapor Keep
I forget if I got tomes when I beat Garuda. But it's only 4 for Ifrit, so negligible at best.
Thanks man - I sort of miss the old levelling ways of FFXI.

While I heard that mentioned from various people (I think it was the case in 1.0), I don't think anything official ever mentioned it. Just a "Wouldn't it be nice if..." from players, the official statement makes no mention.
Please don't encourage him. :|

That is always the worst part of MMO's. Running raids/dungeons so many times to get better gear. Is that what people mean when they say "The game starts at<level cap>"? If so, then no it doesn't. The game, for me, ends at lvl cap if that is the case. Running a dungeon the first time is the best. Running it the 10th time just to get a drop is the worst, ESPECIALLY if it is the end game and it won't really help you.
I enjoy working through raids, learning and perfecting the mechanics, and seeing how well I can play my class. I don't really see SE upping the level cap with every three month update.

Same, only Red Summer Top along with a Green one.Red Summer Top will be with me forever.
You can't even store the new swimwear in the Armoire [at least, you couldn't a couple days ago] and the same goes for duplicate items. It's so strange how they won't let you destroy an item. I guess I'll store them on my Retainer and eternally waste those two lots. -_-
Some of the stuff you can store but some not... seems to be something that'll be added in an upcoming patch.
I'm honestly glad I'm not the only one with this issue. What's more annoying is that I bought it accidentally not realising it was a male top.
Hm, I was able to click discard on the pair I accidentially bought. The first 30 ash set listed.

Philosopher starts dropping since The Stone Vigil and foward, but the amount in most of these a really low.
Anyhow, just had a quick thought, after re-reading that IGN review. Seeing as some of the speed runners are asking for MOBA features, such as vote kick options, to get rid of players that want to watch cut scenes, how likely do you think it is, that these people are members of the MOBA community, that just so happen to be moonlighting?
This isn't to disparage that community or anything, but, if these are MOBA players, a good large chunk of them are likely to disappear once they're required to sub. After all, this community is used to Free to Play, for the most part.

Vote kick is a MOBA feature? Vote-kick's been in WoW forever.

I think the community will definitely be on the upswing once subscriptions start kicking in. That day can't come soon enough.
I play a lot of dota 2. I like watching cutscenes and don't mind waiting.
I am not sure if I am "moonlighting", I subbed, but if endgame sucks or my fc sucks I will prob go back to doto.
I'm sorry, I thought the game started when I logged in the first time? Didn't know all this story content and fun I've been having isn't part of the game. Stupid me, I should have known the fun doesn't start until you grind FATEs to 50 and then complain about having to run a single dungeon over and over again for tomes.
And I don't care how you play your game, it's just annoying it's the same kind of people who race to the end that bitch there is nothing to do, or what there is to do is a "grind" when they've completely done it to themselves.
The fun stuff? Like speed running AK 50 times and then when SE fixes it complaining that the reason you speed run is because it's boring otherwise? Yeah, sounds real fun! If you guys were really having fun, this patch wouldn't bother you. But the fact that many of you have flat out said the exact opposite, I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit. And here's a newsflash, half the people who raced to cap because "that's where the game starts" won't even be playing the game this time next month. That's how much fun they are having. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy of disappointment that these people can't stop repeating and they will do it in the next game that comes along too and it's not SE's or Blizzard's or SOE's fault...it's their own.
The day cannot come soon enough.

So, if I'm in a decent group, how much XP can I expect to get from this "Dark Devices" Fate?
Relaxed Muscle

I heard 150k exp.
Don't know if the FATE have been nerfed from today patch, though.
Some people enjoy end game content more than leveling content. No need to get so hostile.

To be honest I had more fun in 1-50 than endgame content. Mostly due to the frustration gathered from some DF parties than the content itself.
Also Speedrunning is not fun. Is even less fun if you are the tank.
I had fun doing speed runs. Always nice to see how much faster you could down the dungeon. Of course I wasn't doing it in pugs.

I do as well but that all happens the first few times you play it. I am talking beyond that, when people run raids just to complete gear sets.

Horrible why, because you can't get the best gear in one week?

This is the first MMO since the very first one I played that I'm just taking my time, not worrying about end game. Just really enjoying the story, characters, world and crafting. First MMO to ever hook me in crafting. Really enjoying my time so far but will be trying to get back to leveling since I'm so close to my white mage quest at this point. But damn the crafting is fun!

Get AF -> Wanderer Palace for better weapons and armor -> Ifrit to get Ifrit weapon -> Ampdor Keep for level 60 gear and accesories -> Repeat AK to farm tombstones for Darklight Gear -> Garuda weapon/Titan weapon -> Relic weapon
No need to get that linear, you can probably do Garuda with AK gear or even do AK with AF gear and a decent weapon or do Relic weapon steps in the middle of that progression.

thats how it should be. then next week you get the besterest gear.
until you do damage cap of 2,147,483,647 damage.
Maybe, I've never played WoW, and I have no interest in starting. However, the abuse of the Vote Kick in the MOBA community is somewhat notorious. So that's what I associate with it.
Also, for the people complaining about, "not enough rewards."
You seriously need loot to justify continuing to play? Is the gameplay not fun for you otherwise? More then half the time I end up clicking "Pass," on all the loot anyway, either because I can't use it, or because other people need them more.
The game play itself is fun, that, and community interaction, justifies the time spent running dungeons additional time. If you're going to treat this like a job, and thrown a tantrum because you're required to actually, "play," a dungeon properly to get a reward, then this probably isn't the right genre for you.
I hate saying that, really, I'm not in the habit of burning bridges, and I can certainly understand the desire to get a little something extra out of the trash mobs. None of that however, means that Square shouldn't patch out an obvious exploit, nor does that justify some of the borderline abusive behavior some people are demonstrating towards players that want to watch the cut scenes.
Finally.
I myself, am planning to take end game content slowly, as it has to last me two months. So I'll be splitting roughly half my time between end game content, and leveling up additional classes. Which, as far as I can tell, is how the game is meant to be played. Seeing as they're talking about slowly releasing additional lower level quests, in order to help players level those secondary jobs.

Also, Fate Farming as a BLM sucks.
All I get to use is Scathe, everything else has to high a cast time to do any damage at all.

How viable is this game if I just want to take my time leveling, exploring the world, and relaxing?
I miss that from WoW, which became too mechanics heavy and I became too competitive in response.
Also is it even possible, or wise, to buy the game now?

Find out where the enemies are spawning from. Stand there and just spam Blizzard 2.
You can easily do AK in AF as long as your weapon is level-appropriate.
No tombstone piledrivers from The Undertaker then?
Ok. That's not what we're arguing. It's a poor implementation of the tome system and rather than fix THE problem they fix A problem. Also, stop telling others what is the 'correct' and 'intended' way to play the game.
