After the GoV party of amazing exp, shortly after, you spend 10 hours skilling everything up to what it should be.
In the old days, you spend hours grinding away to obtain a level or two, learning your jobs, meeting new people and never having an issue with finding people to help do missions/quests.
In the new era, you spend hours to obtain 10-20 levels, but spend even greater time skilling the things you neglected, never learning your job and will always be bad at it, and complain no one will help you do WoTG, ASA, etc. because you made no friends.

I know we have gone rounds and rounds over this, but I agree with OP. Im tired of this game turning into WoW. If you started off playing the game prior lets say 2006 you fell in love with it. Players who started last year or even 2 years ago dont play it for tha same reason we do. I have no clue how to fix it for everyone but level capping abby is a start.
Going strong since 2004

Why won't this thread go away?
First it was if you were power leveled, you were gimp. Then smn burns = gimp then level sync = gimp now abyssea burn = gimp. Get over it, abyssea did not make gimps. Before abyssea even existed at 75 cap there were tons of people that did not know how to play their jobs.
On PUP I'll agree but every other job has taken me much less time to skill up than 10-20 hours. Knowing where to skill up for ranges is key to speeding it up. Also unless you completely refuse to do any research almost every job can be learned by checking wikis/forums for gear ability/spell info. Perfecting the job is the only thing that takes practice.
Not that this discussion hasn't been done at least three times, but I agree with the OP.
