ffxi should not be this easy

Even before Abyssea Power Level parties was the easy mode everyone went for to just leech through early levels.

4 times longer? Worst case it would have taken 2x longer, but even that is a stretch. And it does not matter at all. Clearly not everyone has a pl, just like not everyone can leech in abyssea as soon as their first job hits 30. That is not the point. Point is it is possible.

...and not only possible, but fairly common amongst those with long-time friends still in the game.

Just saying the "too easy" part has been around forever, and it was always a choice you could make. Ironically the vast majority of players choose this, which means people WANT it too easy. And even worse, the people who complain at it being too easy do not in any way attempt to make it harder on their own, even though there are plenty of options for that.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Anyone complaining about easy are not complaining about easy, they are complaining that they aren't the only level 99 with relic weapon on the server and can't brag about being the unique butterfly. Only people with superiority complexes complain. People without it, just create their own challenges and enjoy the game.

Nah man. Used to, your first job to 75 was, there's no other word for it, magical(lol). That is completely gone

have your friend try get a mythic weapon in a day... i'll bet all my gil he cant!

That takes at least 4 months.

2 months to get all the 51 Assaults done for Captain, one per day.

Another 2 months to get 50 more Assaults done for the mythic weapon.

Assuming you can get everything else done within those 4 months.

I just got my first job to 75 yesterday. It was still "magical" - since you already had that moment, who are you to say it doesn't still exist?

It did for me. Making it "broom rape" slow like it used to be wouldn't make it any more special to me. I probably would have just quit the game before I got there - like the other two times I played.

If people want to grind endlessly and think that is the be-all and end all of MMOs they should go play XIV. It is a broom-rape loving fantasy MMO. All grind, all the time.

As for the OP - well, most people don't start with someone at level 90 willing to steamroll their friends to cap. I have been playing for almost three months now (minus time taken by the tsunami) and still am not at cap. You say it is too easy (though I am pretty sure you are just trolling) - I say it is just right for me. I played the old final fantasy XI where after a year an a half my highest job wasn't yet 50. I don't miss that for even 1 second. Not one.

I don't consider level grinding to be fun or hard. I think most people agree. I wouldn't have come back without Abyssea.

Precisely. You can only get to 75 for the first time once, so, he can think what he wants, but he can no way prove it, especially since we're talking about feelings here.

Do I feel special that I've reached 75+? Not particularly. But anyone that felt special for getting 75 in the first place was just fooling themselves since it has never been special. I do feel a sense of joy and excitement though.
