So instead of Abyssea burning, we will be stuck in East Ronfaure [S] and Qufim? Or Astral Burning?

People are using Abyssea to level because the old way SUCKED. Trying to change it is just imposing your nostalgia on others. If people loved levelling the old way so much, they would.

It is nice to see the everyone gets a trophy age, think that the grind us old players had to go through sucked. When it is people like you that ruined the game and complained it is to hard. I have a nice Dora game you may like to play it is more your speed. You never die and is a straight line to the end.

Here is exactly how this argument has gone

Us: You can level however you want to and if you can make money doing it then do it

Them: You can level however we want you too and if you can make money doing it we'll take it

We will have to agree to disagree. Already had to leave one server because most jobs 30 plus had gone to Abyss and other areas were deserted. People left the game because the regular community was dying, the AH died, and new players would not stay. You have to realize that many people are not trying to "beat the game" and get to 90 and aquire the top gear. To a lot of players it is a community that they come to and enjoy some challenges with friends and a world they travel and enjoy. Its just two different game philosophies and because goals differ, so do methods. Unfortunately, the pursuit of one by some makes life hard in the game for others.

Fair enough I guess, I mean it's not like you could just get together with those close friends and level the old fashion way oh wait.

Being a FFXI player since the game first came out on the ps2, I agree with Krystal. It has gotten way too easy to level now. The first week or two i loved it, then as i got 5 jobs from 75-90 in a week or two I realized that most of the fun has been taking out of this game. I think SE should balance it a little bit. I like the idea of increasing the aby level to 75+. I think if we can keep it to once your 90 keep things how they are with the easy solo, easy merits, ect. but from levels 1-75 i think should go back to the old way, that way you have to work to get to your 75 job, there will be parties again. And once you hit 75 you get to 90 easy in aby. Thats just me though.. Honestly i love the game and will keep playing no matter what but i do believe this way would make it better for everyone..

The problem that you complainers dont realize is that if they raise the lvl cap in abyssea, it will kill abyssea exp as it is right now. I know some people like krystal are just trolling, but the majority of you people supporting him/her/it dont realize the ramifications of the proposal here. Without low lvl leechers, there is no one to open boxes. Very few 75+ players would agree to waste their cruor opening boxes instead of fighting and skilling up.

We all hate afk leechers, but removing key people would destroy the system as it is right now. Its all well and good to claim that you want people to go back to the old way of lvling where it took forever to find a pt and even if you found one it would suck more often than not, but if that actually happened, good players who already have multiple jobs would simply stop lvling new jobs and you complainers would be stuck with the bottom of the barrel people who fulltime 5/5 perle/aurore/teal gear.

[Rocman]

Thats not entirely true. Honestly even a 75 job is pretty worthless unless its a backline job, at 75 drg i couldnt hit the one at all missing pretty much every swing and when it does hit its for a 0-3 dmg. So a 75 job can easily be a key whore.

and what do you do when your close friends have left the game due to the fact they don't like FFXI in it's current state? HHMMM? mr.i have a solution to everything.
