Raise the Minimum Requirement for entering Abyssea to Lv70 or 75

[Panthera]

You make the assumption that any half-decent level 90 DD+Mage combo can't full clear entire camps on their own. You don't need more than 5 people tops to make the absolute maximum EXP/hr available at any given camp, 3 of which are just going to be pulling nonstop.

If adding additional level 75+ adds absolutely nothing to the killspeed, adding additional level 30's subtracts absolutely nothing from the killspeed.

And you make the assumption that these heroes who can wipe out the entire zone single-handedly are dime a dozen, that every ally has two of them, and moreover, that such heroes exist. In my experience, most allies are just that, allies, a team effort of a dozen or more people working together to get the best EXP they can get. Some people have barely hit 75 and don't have much gear to speak of at all. Others were 75 before the level cap adjustments, and have some current gear here and there. Two guys wiping out the entire zone instantly when mobs pop? You exaggerate, sir.

Leeches are parasites, whether they are level 30 or level 90. That 30brd keyspammer? Leech. That level 90 NIN in full aurore gear who doesn't gear swap and puts out 500 damage Jins? Leech. If anything, the Keyspammer is more productive than the gimp-ass level 90 with absolute shit gear and atma. If an entire alliance is made up of Leeches, either level 30 or 90, of course the alliance is going to fail. If the alliance has even a single non-leech player, the amount of leeches there won't matter at all.

Obviously, those with the best gear and focus on task contribute the most damage, yet everyone benefits equally in experience points. But that does not mean that those who contribute less contribute nothing, which seems to be what you contend. An unequal symbiosis? I'll give you that, but calling a level 90 in full Aurora a leech is hyperbolic, just as hyperbolic as these mythical champions that everyone else just leeches off of. What bothers me are people who go AFK indefinately and nothing is done about it. That's leeching.

Old-way XPing vs. Abyssea leeching isn't climbing a mountain vs. taking an escalator to the top, as someone said on the previous page, it's more like carving your own snowboard out of fiberglass vs. buying one at the store. It doesn't matter how you got the snowboard (personal satisfaction notwithstanding--you can level however you want), what matters is what you do with it after you get it.

Why bother leeching? Just buy accounts with real money, play with the jobs until you get bored, and then take up buying pre-built model airplanes as a hobby. After all, the point of model airplanes is having model airplanes, right?
