Raise the Minimum Requirement for entering Abyssea to Lv70 or 75

If you think most of the gear from old content is still relevant... I don't know what to tell you. Those people using full perle etc are mostly just lazy. I tend to farm AF3 and other required macro gear for a job before I even level it.

GG was correct in most players complaining about leeches are leeches themselves. I did a pick up merit pt after the servers went back up and the amount of terribly geared players is astonishing. I was on SAM at the time just screwing around and there was actually another SAM in the group. He asked why I blink so much and I asked if he used any gear swaps at all and he said no. He replied saying his damage was just as good without using gear swaps as the people who did use gear swaps, he mentioned that gear swaps weren't worth the hassle of using. This guy had 0% haste and no gear swaps and he was just one of many like that in the pick up group.

It's fairly sad when one person (myself in this case) was doing majority of the damage in an alliance. It's even sadder that I was a samurai, which is a job that is fairly lackluster in abyssea to begin with doing more damage than majority of the other DDs combined. I did have a slight advantage over the normal player by having a lvl 90 emp weapon but that still doesn't excuse the pitiful damage numbers I was seeing in the log.

Raging rushes for 1k or less, 600 blade jins, the damage equivalents of gimp throwing ninjas, etc. I see you here trying to defend the fact that these people are not leeches? Ha. A key leech is more useful than any of these people. I was killing 3 mobs solo in the time it took them to kill one.
