Since the nerfing of Abby exp partys have just about died on Odin... my wepp skills are practically capped so going into a exp party to fight is a good way of leveling jobs up fast seen as i cannot spend every minute of the day on the game.
SE you put a message up when we log in saying not to spend to much time on the game and must remember our familys, whilst i agree with this i feel like i am being forced out of the game i have jobs that need levelling to catch up to the players with years behind them and it will take me so long to level them up i may aswell cancel subscription and give up entirely. The biggest stress for me is catching up doing the old content and getting help to do them.
As much as it pains me to say it you have to reverse the nerfing of blinkers or look on these servers for those charging to be in partys, currently there are 3 players on my server and always the same every day not letting you fight unless you pay to leech. Its ridiculous.
Someone will say that in the past there was no exp partys but there was there was burning.
Stop the charging for exp leeching and force the players to physically play is a dam good way of solving this problem no?

In either case this has little to do with the blinker nerf because if these said players who're natural leaders were actually interested in cruor for blinkers they would just setup cruor burn parties, they get slightly less exp but a lot more cruor. -

Understood just the timing gave me the impression.

XP party is still alive in Bahamut as well. Very few people know about the blinker fiasco, let alone new players or returning players who mostly filling up those xp party anyways. La Theine worm party still have players lining up to get invite. The adjustment only hit those who are hardcore cruor farming, the rest of us were irritated because the option is gone but does not really affect us, especially those new players who probably only have 1-2 million cruors max to begin with, which will be consumed fast the minute they are doing voidwatch events.

I fail to understand how the blinker nerf affected exp parties lol? If you were going to farm cruor, you wouldn't be joining an exp party... You would be joining a cruor party.

I often went to Worms to screw around when bored, I would get them alot more xp, cruor was simply on the side but I wont lie, now that cruor has no worth really, my want to do this has diminished.

Burn parties are not XP parties simply due to the fact that you are gaining XP. If that were the case, VW would be an XP party as well.
More often then not, if you're looking to level a job that's 30+, you're the one that'll need to build the party yourself. The recent nerfs have had nothing to do what-so-ever on the frequency of abyssea parties unless you're joining RMT leechs.(Who are too stupid to understand that half the money for cruor is still money. lol)
Here's the way you do it. Go in and find a party on some pointless melee job that wont be the core of the party under the pretence of meriting. Once you're "full," you go back to town to "spend them" and then swap out to the job you want to level. 85% of the time, no one notices and/or cares. Keep in mind that the current state of the party matters. If it's slow, a missing DD will be more appearant. It's you're "higher level," say 65+, just go and attack whatever everyone else is attacking so you look like you're doing something. -
