Wheres the evidence Abyssea revived FFXI?

[Sparthos]

Salvage didn't destroy Ebody, didn't destroy Nhead, didn't destroy Nlegs, didn't destroy Ridill, didn't destroy DRing and certainly didn't destroy Black Belt.

It was a sidestep with some marginal upgrades depending on the slot. The hoops for entry were set far higher than afk in a zone when the window was open and while yes certain pieces of Kings gear was destroyed the event never put Kings in a coffin.

the evidence is that this game became fun

people who need to have it explained why abyssea is more fun than kings should send me their resumes, so i can use them to improve my stock portfolio by reinforcing their belief that misery builds character

No. No one can. Also, people should stop mentioning that 500 PW garbage already. It's getting old.

No, the playerbase is getting old and doesnt have 12 hours a day 7 days a week to devote to the game, were not 17-20 year olds in highschool/college.

Salvage gear was a sidegrade to HNMs...? Are you serious? Salvage destroyed HNM gear. In fact, it pretty much destroyed every other piece of gear in the game at the time.

uuhhhhhh........... no.
Exactly which piece of salvage gear was so amazing it destroyed HNM gear? I'm trying to think of one, but I can't even come up with ONE.

Maybe we should classify what the good HNM gear was to make this easier.
Adaman Hauberk. - beats the crap out of ares body or skadi body for tp or ws
Heca legs - beats the crap out of skadi or ares legs for ws unless your talking about drg or war, and you could cap ddex with ares legs and had high attack, so ya, ares legs = sidegrade
Heca cap - beats skadi or ares mask for ws
Dalmatica - was an idle piece, - morigans doesnt have 2mp/tick, and dalmatica had +50mp and +mdb, so it was actually better to idle in.
Crimson body - 10 or 11 stats on RDM is better for casting enfeebs then 8 stats
Ridill - salvage didnt have weapons
D ring - salvage didnt have rings
Black Belt - salvage didn't have belts
Pixie Earring - salvage didn't have earrings

This is all I can think of....

Most of the best Salvage gear did not have an HNM equivalent. The only HNM item that really got replaced was Dalmatica. Usukane was boss, but HNM didn't offer Mnk/Nin/Sam/Pup anything anyways.

For most Gamers this is True. We've grown up along side FF11

Dalmatica was the superior idle piece IMO, it had +50mp

But it doesn't look as fancy so there.

Then again, I'm told a lot of people hated how Morri robe looked. Weird.

FF11 has be regressing lately though. The only way I can see somebody getting through the higher level ToM "content" is if they are unemployed or living off somebody else's paycheck.

Not really, because even if it had 50 MP, once you changed out of idle gear, you lose that 50 mp so it does nothing for you. Unless you get full MP before you cast Shell or Protect.
