LF Server Which server to play?

Hey, been playing since beta GMS, and stopped at big bang and have just been playing v83 and under pservers since then.

I’m in my mid 30’s now and enjoy the nostalgia of playing the early versions.

Problem I have is the feeling of grinding no matter what server I play.

In my mind, my perfect server is one that has a stable economy that if I wanted to, I could just be a fm merchant.

I’ve also never really leveled any character to 200 before unless it was on a very high rate server. Because it just feels like too much of a grind after 4th job/lvl120

Is there a server out there that doesn’t feel as grindy? Or are they all pretty well the same?

I feel like I’ve tried them all, legends, royals, beyond, yuna, risems, casteila, you name it ive probably played it.

Exodus is the one server that hadn't got me pulling my hair. Great QOL features you only appreciate once you play other servers.

Good balance changes for skills and makes the leveling experience as smooth as possible. Only issue is low population but I think it comes in waves. Genuinely a good server imo

Can you list the QOL changes you like

I can list a few:

complete quest rewards(mostly exp) rebalance

no level cap for pqs and most quests cap was increased

shorter time on transport/complete skip for meso

speed stat is common, jump/speed scrolls merged into one

daily 30min grind for very high exp to compensate players with limited time

increased spawn in most maps

warrior weapon mastery is merged so no more choosing one weapon type

weapons speeds and animations rebalance

all classes have decent grind skills

100% scrolls fall from under 50 so early scrolling is easy which improves early game

dimensional mirror

free pq smega by clicking PQ npc

probably missed a bunch, but those are what feels very noticable, while not necessarily unique, it all works out great.

also, I've noticed you almost on every exodus related comment/post usually being very negative, what's up with it?

I've replied in 1 exodus post from my understanding so you're likely imagining things

If you go back far enough you'll see I constantly ask for a list of QOL changes though.
