Abyssea leeching isn't exactly exciting either, the fix shoud probably be to make non-abyssea 6-man parties even more appealing.

Personally, I am satisfied with the current increase in exp, because it lets me duo and trio at an acceptable rate with my friends. I don't really care that I could have gotten 4 times the exp as an abyssea leech, that shit's just too boring.

This is one of the few posts with the view against Abyssea leeching that is actually legit and not just whining and crying.

You don't like Abyssea leeching because to you, it's boring as shit. I respect that opinion, and hopefully you are in turn respecting the opinion of those who do like it.

I have no problem with them retooling exp outside Abyssea to make it more appealing and worthwhile than it already is. I, and likely many others, will continue to do Abyssea for our exp. But I do recognize that the people who do not wish to do this are lacking in exp gain.

You are one of the few who actually does what they want: you don't like Abyssea leeching so you simply don't do it. I wish more of the people who didn't like it shared this attitude.

Buffing outside exp is a fantastic idea, and helps those who wish to exp outside. Nerfing inside exp is a horrible idea and only serves to punish or diminish the exp that wish to exp inside.

Why can't people argue for pleasing both groups, rather than just bitch and complain and scream "NERF WHAT I DON'T LIKE!"?

Get a rdm or whm (rdm preferred for phalanx II, but whm also works for bottomless MP).

Go to Abyssea Tahrongi.

Get as many mandies as you can.

Regen atma x1, acc atma x2, acc food, retaliation.

Enjoy your skill ups.

Actually I thought of something that could make exping in "normal" areas more appealing again. Introduce new CP/IS/AN items that were actually worth getting for a lv75+ character. I have no idea what to use my idk, nearly 200k CP on. lately I've been trying to convert them into gil, but people seem to be kinda indifferent about my mrc cpt kukris.

it's almost as if people aren't interested in exping, and just want to get to the end asap.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the middle level economy also virtually disappearing along with those parties.
The gear/weapons/items commonly used by those players that level past 30 is pretty much gone. No need to gear up your job past 30 if u won't need to do any fighting while leeching in Abyssea. I can see your points and agree that the minimum entry level shouldn't have been set so low but i do like the fact that SE is at least attempting to address the issue.

If the demand was really there for it, someone would be supplying it.

To me not just the xp parties but the overall gaming experience I had with FFXI since 8 years ago...

I lost the hardcore feeling soon after aby released... this game is now made for people with no brain and it's a mess...

Solo. All jobs. All day. Every day. WHM Dual Hammer GO!
