Being a FFXI player since the game first came out on the ps2, I agree with Krystal. It has gotten way too easy to level now. The first week or two i loved it, then as i got 5 jobs from 75-90 in a week or two I realized that most of the fun has been taking out of this game. I think SE should balance it a little bit. I like the idea of increasing the aby level to 75+. I think if we can keep it to once your 90 keep things how they are with the easy solo, easy merits, ect. but from levels 1-75 i think should go back to the old way, that way you have to work to get to your 75 job, there will be parties again. And once you hit 75 you get to 90 easy in aby. Thats just me though.. Honestly i love the game and will keep playing no matter what but i do believe this way would make it better for everyone..

03-17-2011, 12:41 AMMrbeansmanGee if only there was some way we could level outside of abyssea and get away from these leaches. Maybe gather togather with 5 other people we're good friends with and go whack some pink birds. God I miss those times, if only abyssea leaches didn't stop us from doing so.Quote:

Ignore Krytsal on this particular topic she has a few good points in other topics though but she extremely hates abyssea capped at 30 cut and dry dont even engage her on it

Even without abyssea good players seem to be able to level any new job in just days. I wonder why that is? Maybe part has to do with knowing where to go, how to get exp at max rate, where and how to not waste time and energy.
Nevertheless they do learn the tricks of the job. Each job is different and has its own little twists that do require skill. You cant learn skill easily when you have to learn them all at once not one at a time.
Now some people do seem to know how to use each job to max rather easily but I am afraid most of us just arent that naturally talented. I know for sure I am not.
You know there is the old saying 'take time to smell the flowers'. Maybe that applies here in that we ought to take the time to enjoy the twists and turns of each job and not focus so much on getting to the end.
I do understand wanting to get a job up fast to do some particular thing in an end game niche but it just seems like such a waste. -
