Um...kay.
Because after eight years we should continue doing everything we've done? No. It's called level cap increase, and if you think level 75 gear should be the best equipment at 99, then you are the delusional one.
Actually, there are still some pieces that are still the best from previous events. These pieces cannot be replaced from Abyssea or anything else currently in the game.
Keep in mind Final Fantasy XI is a video game. If you think those events will be fun, then go do them. If you are only wanting to do them for the rewards then why even waste your time? If you need rewards to stimulate yourself to go then you're in the same boat as everyone else; dissatisfied with the old endgame content. The only reason the majority of the player base did those events was not out of enjoyment, but for the armor.
Trust me, we're relieved that we don't have to do that anymore.
As for leeching there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I have a friend who has leeched many jobs through and he's amazing at all of them. He has great gear, he knows what he's doing. I leeched my taru black mage from 65 to 90. And I leeched my taru white mage from 30 to 90. But I think you should refrain from passing judgment because a lot of the leechers are returning players which means that they've already played this game before and the odds are high they're picking the jobs they liked the first time to level up again. That means they already know what they're doing.
No, the reason we complain about that gear is because it's terrible. AF3+1 is very easy to get and is a huge improvement to Teal/Pearl/Aurore. Quests are easy and shout groups are even easier. Make a few friends and the monsters are fun.
I honestly don't even know why I'm bothering trying to explain this to you. It seems it won't go through.
