Who ever got six-person parties in the first place?

[Meyi]

I'm really confused by the title. Who ever got into six-person parties...? We never partied with anything but six people.

But after reading the OP I must agree -- that exp sucked. It would have been better to low man kill some even matches. And today's exp is much better than it ever was.

[Hercule]

To all thoses people that love the new abyssea exp party, i would suggest you something,
You should ask to Square-Enix to guive the right to players to get able in moghouse to put the number of Experience points they want then valide with "Enter" key and you get the Exp!!!!

By the way, we should ask the same thing for Gils, you put the number of gils you want with your keyboard, you valide it then you check your delivery box and you get your gils!

And maybe we should do the same thing for Relic/Mythic/Empyrean weapon to directly get the lv 99 Weapon of your choices!

Today exp much better than it ever was??!

Seriously? ok so explain me where is the fun on exp pt nowadays?
For myself what i see is:

-25% of the Alliance is lv 30+ /anon leech exp
-25% of the Alliance is lv 50+ thats try to deal damage but deal nothing
-25% of the Alliance is AFK, Half AFK~
-25% of the Alliance do their job.

Player nowadays are so lazy they want to get all stuff without any work.

On level 75 it was easy to find an experience party or to build one, exept for AFK/Lazy/Underskilled player, so yeah the only good thing with abyssea is now even Lazy/AFK and underskilled players can leech exp, when they was kicked on 6 man party after 10min afk

Wrong, I remember as a THF, BLU and BLM I rarely ever got an invite. THF could go a week without one unless someone was really bad for a puller because while it was piercing damage and could do fine. It wasn't RNG, SAM or DRG.

BLM, was hated because of colibri's magic bounce ability, so I had to solo that and bring it up via manaburns in Vunkerl and Xarcabard, this including in the Wajoam Bird Parties! Only Bhaflau etc. birds bounced magic (those that kept their mouths open would still you that they would bounce magic, I think). And as a BLU, that's where I got most of my decent invites from.

THF was able to deal Sneak Attack 2k Dmg on greater colibri and they're was a lot efficient, a good BLU was able to equal or even out damage plenty of good DD jobs too, about BLM i Agree Square-Enix maded a bad job with Greater Colibri camp, but a BLM was still able to go chain pudding, but i agree this was not good enouth, and greater colibri was already the begening of causual gaming introduction from Square Enix, because most of the players start QQing when some challenge incoming.

I was a Princess BRD unless someone was my friend. You want minuets? I'm sorry my e-peen is the exp/hr, not how much your Penta's can spike.

If it's a x2 BRD party, it's minuet I II III & IV or gtfo!

(Don't worry Flion, people to this day still don't understand the value of haste)

Because 72 hour parties that started in Cape Terrigan and ended in Valley of Sorrows (in which you would get one and a half levels, if you were lucky) killing the *same* monster over...and over....and over, was so much fun. We only stuck to it because of the promise that we'd find power in the future. Saving grace was being with a nice group of people that created conversation, because everything else, even when everybody knew their jobs inside and out, was mindless repetition. So in that sense, it's still repetition. Killing the same mob, doing the same thing, only with a shorter time period. Nevermind being able to follow a storyline, since missions were so far in between. I guess I can understand people's frustrations with finding a level 30 leeching in Abyssea. I, myself, have never joined an Abyssea party until I was 75, and really wouldn't even imagine doing it. But I honestly have no qualms with doing GoV till 75, and then joining and Abyssea party.

Perhaps you only enjoyed the endless hours of grind. Hey, I love grinding myself. I guess that's why I love jrpgs in general. But I appreciate being able to invest that time now in other things. And I also appreciate being able to jump into an xp party almost immediately, most of the time. And the fact that I'm taking an unpopular job doesn't make a difference, I'll still get invited. The more I think about it, the more I see that the pros outweigh the cons.

Im gona acept have a Full party at lv 55 outside of White Gate, was epic. Was fun have 5 players playing with me.

I enjoyed the oportunity of have epic travles, moving my camp ever 2 - 5 levels this gave lots of live to vanadiel, exploring and having fun in diferent camps.

Was fun yes im acepting that.

But the lack of Tanks, Mages and Support jobs avaliable for make this parties was terrible. 95% of time you founded only DDS seeking, the formation system was a total Shit, dramas, have convince Racist Jp people for acept play, have convince the PLD and Healer for stay 1 hour more.

I prefer skip all that drama and problems and go to play when i want, no matter which job im Using.

If SE gave us in the past 4 - 5 tank jobs, 6 - 7 jobs could mantain a main heal and refresh, and 3 - 4 jobs could support probably this system could be more aceptable.
