Raise the Minimum Requirement for entering Abyssea to Lv70 or 75

I want to experience that content and I want to be able to group up with people to do just that.

And abyssea isn't stopping you from doing just that. As I said I've done a lot of parties in old areas.

Then tell me how raising the cap to 70~75 would stop people from doing Abyssea?

When did I say it would? Just because 70+ people would keep doing is not a reason to stop lower levels from doing it as well.

Yes it is. You are skimming over a very important point: allowing people to exploit and bypass 80% of the games content is a ridiculous idea.

No it's not. You're missing the point:

you can still do the content. you can still find people willing to do it. But just because you want old content does not mean SE should limit other players who want to skip it.

Name another successful MMO that does that. Name another MMO that allows players to LvUp quickly through the first few levels, and then allow them to skyrocket their way to endgame, completely surpassing 80% of the entire map, 90% of the missions, 75% of the quests and 95% storyline.

WoW?


You can get from 15 to 80 and never leave Stormwind/Orgrimmar via the dungeon tool or BGs. a few of my alts had next to no maps and never did a single quest (past 15 that is, when dungeons get unlocked) until they reached 80.

Most of us already went through that in this game. While the side effects of Abyss are quite apparent, it's totally intentional by SE, and it's a breath of fresh air for the people who've been grinding for ~8 years.

Also, why does every MMO have to fit the same mold? Fresh ideas in games are few and far between these days and should be encouraged IMO.

Akujima how long have you played the game if you dont mind?

^ still curious of that, if you started pre-CoP then you should have learned a long time ago to get over it because XP got nothing but easier and easier and easier for people. If you started during ToAU you should not be complaining at all nor should anyone else who started around that time because exp became easily 50x quicker to get than previous years. It's a natural progression of quicker and easier exp as the game goes on. If you are a pre CoP player then you should have learned to deal with it by now, if you're a ToAUish player then you're just being a baby cause xp was technically spoon-fed to you at that point as compared to previous years.

B4 Zilart I dunno how they exp'd my guess is probably very slowly >>>>> After Zilart you had basic camps Gar/CN/Moon/Sky also exp was a fair amount higher per lvl when I got my first 75, >>>>> exp nerf >>>>> CoP Bibiki/Uleg/and a fair amount of new zones so that you were not fighting for days with other parties >>>>> Toau >>>>> Tons of great camps great for soloing and great for exping, generally 3x or more the exp that you had seen before in previous zone camps. Also wayyy more level 75 camps to instead of pretty much just sky. >>>>> Wotg, More viable camps with the addition of campaign for extra exp on the side to make your levels quicker and "bypass" other content in the game if you so chose to go a campaign leveling route. >>>>> Now Abyssea... ppl have suffered the exp grind long enough let them enjoy the rest of the game its silly to try to hate on aby just cause people can get lvl'd in a shorter amount of time.

still curious of that,

I've played since NA release but took a 3 year break just before ToAU came out. So by the time I got back, WoTG was already setup and was midway through. I've been playing ever since then and have been taking short breaks on and off for a couple of months here and there, due to IRL.
