Power leveling, book burns, Speed leveling. What is the appeal?

I miss them too. It wasnt always about getting lvls, that was just a perk of some pts. It was really about meeting new ppl, talking and having a good time. Granted you did need to get lvls and skills and all of that, but you advanced in the game by joining forces with people you met along the way...usually in pts. Now the game has turned into who can get all their jobs to 90, who can have the empy weapons and +2 gear and ppl have turned into savages to get there in some cases. Worse than before. You can tell by the sheer amount of trolling, fighting and taunting in /sh and now unfortunately /yells that this game is going into the crapper /sigh and it was such a good game before they gimped it

Hatee to break it to you but thats what all mmos are like. What really change was you made it to endgame and told you needed XYZ jobs fully merited to get into the good LSes, that got claim on HNMs cleared zones could clear other content. Rose tinted glasses since you were to new to know you were getting the short end of the stick with all the chatting. Maybe people you met in exp might help you get into a decent endgame shell but that was beyond rare.

With the insane low drop rates and pay to play events pugs were out for 95% of events in the game. Not till ToAU did we get events that were pug friendly, assults and to a lesser extent nysul.

Hurray, the boring "if you have good memories of the game pre-abyssea, you're wearing rose tinted glasses" retarded spew. Obvious, equally idiotic and obligatory counter: "If you don't have good memories of the game pre-abyssea, you must be wearing black tinted bear goggles".

Also lol @ waiting days for parties pre-abyssea, it's no one's fault that you were an idiot and either A) didn't know how to form parties, B) decided that if you couldn't do A) then you couldn't do anything else and are now trying to use your inability to be semi-intelligent about your time spent in-game, or C) it's a massive exaggeration to make things seem worse than they actually were (except for HNM-esqe "content", which is still prevalent, even inside abyssea, just at much faster pace) or D) All of the above.

See, I can spin and twist perceptions to fit my potentially and equally ridiculous-sounding argument too! Did you see the part where I made blind assumptions about people with your point of view and tried to use them as facts, just like you?

It's so that people can rush through the game as fast as possible, then complain that there's no content.
