Giving the option to be rewarded to do nothing but marco in 1 command and move from time to time shouldn't be rewarded in a game or even in one. Which thats all key ppl do. Also there are players that have come back to FFXI at 75 cap and only had 1-2 jobs at 75 and left because they didn't want to devote their lives to the game. Now that its easier to level, its lame that you can't because there are a tank, healer, and whatever else at your pre-aby lvl but only want to be lazy pricks that in the /seacom states they want to be in aby only. Also to those who do in Sylph will wait for hours. I saw 5 people one day all state they only want aby with there job at below 60 looking to key. They waited for 8 hours or more because I logged out and did other stuff but I did ask them, before I left, if they even got an invite that day. 4 of them actually did wait 8 hours, the other got and invite but then got D2'd when they got there. He didnt tell me why. Also best response to the reason why one of the 5 waited for 8 hours was... "idk why, just did."

Now with the exp boost, I think, its even with exp earned per hour if this was the first two abyssea zones as if you were in old worlds. If there isn't the level cap increase just for abyssea enterance, there should at least be a penalty for people under a certain level for dominion ops. Like if your below lvl 65, you can't get dominion ops. I say thats balanced.
oh wow...best debating idea i heard! sounds like a winner to me! instead of raising the cap just incur a heavy exp penalty on those under 70 like lets say a 85% exp penalty...that works. they still get exp..but not nearly as much if they were above 70... so we can either do that or just do a level cap increase...see i can bend a little..
