[To The Devs/Players] STOP ABYSSEA POWERLEVELING FOR GIL

[RAIST]

starting to see a slightly different effect too....peeps that were stable at 75 getting too used to running around in abyssea with all the buffs up. Then get in the outside world and forget what it was like dealing with the constraints of the normal world and make noobish mistakes that maybe wouldn't have happened 2 years ago. Gotta recondition ourselves again.

I donno about everyone else but, when the 99 cap came I decided to go and duo my items with my 2 accounts. DNC/WAR + WHM/SCH. Anyway I went to an area at level 95 both jobs and started attacking the mobs low and behold after checking them they where incredibly tough.

I checked there levels to be 99-103!! So my guess is not everyone knows how easy these mobs can be even outside abby. I was amazed that I was able to mow down enemies 8 levels higher then me with little or no issues back to back pulling. There was a lvl 95 thf/dnc behind me soloing these same mobs. These where giving 750exp a kill without exp boosters.

Makes you wonder how people can talk about noobs all the time. When I accidentally linked 3 of these same enemies and came out with little more then a scratch It came to reality that these guys must not be even trying. If these people are setup right with the right jobs,gear, skill and strategy almost anything can be taken down.

I used to only attack EP to DC mobs for skillup and laterally feared ITs. Now that I know the truth I realize that the ABBY boost aren't needed to fight the same difficulty mobs outside abby and it doesn't take a lot of gaming skill to do it.

The sincere truth for me is the power I gained in abby taught me to fight stronger mobs like I had the same buffs outside in regular zones. In my case abby reconditioned me to a higher standard instead of lowering me.

To OP... >>

To comment on the people selling EXP, I don't think it's outside the rules to sell spots because it's not RMT trading. It's gil for exp, not RL money for exp. The only real annoyance is the constant spamming of these guys. A quick remidy is /blacklist <name> rectifies the spamming real quick.. Other then that, if you don't want to pay for a spot It's your money you don't have to exp that way. If you want to show you're not a noob make an exp party and get players who aren't leechs instead of complaining about an honest service someone else is exploiting.

This makes me think about the people complaining about businesses selling porn on the internet for money. Sure it's not morally correct but it's currently legal and is what helped the internet grow. I can say the same for people who are told NO or can't find low level party's to level up subs. In this case a service like this is helpful because the providers don't care about skill, your standing or what job you are. They're only interested in your gil not elitist holding you back from getting efficient exp.

On a side note, these people paying had to earn that gil someway. They're just converting the time they invested making that gil into exp. What's the problem? I guess people who level this way are horrible players. Solution to that is also simple remove them from party and tell them to pay someone to help them get better gear/skill ups. Since they invested so much in leeching why can't they invest in skillups and better gear the same way?

I've noticed this especially when it comes to whm or blu. Without all the different forms of refresh, they blow through mp so fast they become useless halfway through the fight.

Using BLM support job because they can't be arsed to level SCH really doesn't help, not having AF3+2 legs is also a major setback.

Indeed! WHM has great MP control /SCH and with AF3+2 Legs.
