Lower The Minimum Level Required To Enter Abyssea from 30-1

When it was released, SE stated that abyssea "Was designed to challenge players level 75 and above." So why the hell not allow only people 75 and above to go there? "We don't hafta work for our food, so why do we hafta earn our own experience?" Um, that sounds along the same lines of "buying my gil with my mom's money using rmts" and "Why get a job when I can just bum money from my friends who actually work?" Please, don't make yourselves look any more shameful. Atleast be quietly lazy. Don't blab it off for everyone to see you're wasting our time.

Can you explain how "designed to challenge players level 75 and above" means "designed to only allow players level 75 and above to gain experience"?

Pretty much all I've garnered from 2500~ posts in all these threads is that some people seem to think "Challenging Players" is equivalent to "Gaining Experience Points". Those that make that association hate Abyssea leeching. Those that don't make that association don't give a shit.

Makes you wonder how much content the majority of the playerbase has even experienced if EXP, Dynamis, and Story/Expansion Missions are considered difficult. I'm not even saying that to be facetious. It seems like a huge number of players have simply never even done all of 75-endgame, and that's sad.

How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

Getting a job and buying food instead of making our own food = not getting a job and leeching off others?

The entire point was that we can get a job doing something else, so instead of directly getting X for ourselves, we can pay someone to get it for us, with all the extra money we have.

If you can make 10m gil per hour, but only earn 100k exp per hour, and could buy exp for 100k exp=1m gil, what would you do? Would you ever farm exp? Or would you simply farm gil, and convert that gil into exp? If you have a brain, you would never exp, unless you just really enjoyed it, and instead opt to farm gil, buy exp, and then use the remaining time to do something enjoyable.

Would you ask LeBron James to stop playing basketball, and farm his own food? Of course not. He can make so much money playing basketball, that he can afford to buy all the food he ever wants, along with almost anything else he wants/needs. And still have tons of time to spend doing things he really loves to do. Why would he ever spend his time doing hard work out on a farm? It just doesn't make sense.

This is why everyone should be required to take econ 101 in middle+high school. We'd see a lot less of these outrageous comparisons, and seeing people suggest things like doing things for yourself. Why would you ever want to do everything yourself? Self sufficiency is a terrible thing. Why would you want to be self sufficient and do everything on your own, when you can pay someone else who can do the jobs more efficiently, and cheaper for you?

It's unfortunate that those casuals are also the ones bitchig the loudest too =\

whats goign on guis

I have seen people support a decrease in the level to enter abyssea and those who think there needs to be an increase. I think there needs to be an increase. 70 or 75. I leeched one job in abyssea and realized that it's not a good way to level. it leaves you gimped and not knowing how to do your job.

If SE did this a rework of the leveling system should be in order. One thing they could do is make all 20 jobs useful so that we don't have the return of your this job and useless.

Weird, i leeched a job up to 85, and by the next day, i was better than 90% of others who played it. Must just be you.

I think thats just you :D Skill ups are insanely easy and fast now and much-much easier than levelling the old way. Also it isn't hard to learn your job. Grinding and repeating the same button price for a month doesn't make you better than someone who button pressed for a day. that's like saying you're more skilled at using the TV remote. haha.

There is no benefit to levelling the old way than leeching.

I tryed leeching and I don't think it works for me. I've even been willing to pay the former of the group to let me leech. I got a few people telling me they pay not to have me.
