Please allow Skill-Ups in Campaign Battles

Okay, at one time SE allowed skill-ups (SU) in campaign battles, but some brain there must have thought that was making the game to easy. Move ahead a couple of years and some brain invents and implements Abyssea (abby), which has basically ruined the game by making it so easy anyone with a level (lvl) 30 char can do it. Now you have people with multiple chars (db/trib/quadb/etc), people selling spots in abby leach parties, people leaching in general and virtually everyone has every job leveled to 99 and a lot have the skills below 75. So, why can we still not get SU's in campaign battles? Might as well allow it b/c you've already thrown the game in the trash, or in SE's case in the basement in hopes someone can pull 14 out of the toilette. In closing, why wont you allow SU's in campaign battles? Here's another thought, why not add on to campaign battles along with SU's!

technically, you couldn't skillup IN campaign. You had to thwack/nuke the campaign mobs without tags on, which left you vulnerable to xp loss if you weren't careful. And it was really only worth it up to around 65 caps anyway for the most part.

It would be a nice tweak if they would allow people to skillup in campaign though, even if it is only worth doing it up to around 65. Give those aby burned jobs with possibly mediocre gear and/or elementary understanding of a job a safe option to get their skills up to a level range where they can then move on to Besieged (another safe option) to get near 75 caps to THEN go skillup the rest of the way in Abyssea.

But....then again.....if you do a little research, you can find normal targets to accomplish the same task, incorporate it with some GoV and get some skillup prowess to help speed it along. It's not too hard to figure out:

Grounds Tome List

True enough, but I have not had a lot of luck with tomes. WAY to many people fighting over mobs. Really reminded me of the old days when people fought for party spots. Unfortunately, I have found the class of people on rag is less than acceptable by most above the age of 10. That's just my opinion. So you have the classic group come in and steal mobs from you and think it's funny. There are much better places to SU and get seals at the same time, but the time factor plays a big part. Heck, like I said...Everyone has leeched or partied or bought their way to 99 so you do not see the abby parties like you used to. Two weeks in a row haven't seen anyone at the buffalo camp. So it's not as easy as you would think...But I digress. It would be nice if SE re-vamped Campaign Battles to allow for SU that accommodated chars up to 99. It would not be difficult to do. They could easily up the mob levels, add additional mobs and bosses, heck even update the Campaign Battle gear. I remember when Campaign gear was a great set to have. Now it's a joke outside of campaigns. There's still plenty of things SE COULD do to keep 11 going, but I honestly do not think the motivation is there. Just my opinion.
