I'm serious, the book burning and aby burning system really is rubbish, and now even finding low level sync parties is getting harder by the day. All people do is spend 20 levels in Gusgen and then pay gilsellers 300-500k gil to level their characters for them in Abyssea. I wouldn't mind doing FoV pages in a good proper party, but the bonuses for FoV are rubbish compared to GoV pages since they don't increase the xp every time a page is completed and a very rare number of people still show interest in leveling the old way since they've been spoilt with being boosted in Abyssea. Remaining in a low level sync means I don't get to skill up any of my skills so at 99 I gotta spend day after day trying to level them up. At least the old way my skills got to level with my job. Plus the constant levelling in Gusgen means people don't need to buy new gear or food, so the market for food, clothes and weapons for levels 20-90 has crashed.
Please SE, make leveling fun again, and give us a reason to venture out and level in other places. And please, improve those FoV pages so that it doesn't take weeks/months to hit max level, because that is probably the only reason why people aren't as interested in them as they are in GoV and Abyssea pages.
