Exp was never a Challenge and it shouldnt be. Problem is that Ppl learned how tp play their Job. So if you leveled in Aby chances are that you cant play it. Thats bad..... but a player that uses Abyssea for low levelish leeching is probaly a pretty casual player anyway.

They won't be 99 anytime if they don't? Well the real problem is there is no content for lowlevel.. or nothing that would be desireable at a higher level, so its not desireable to get lower level things since its not useful later on... theres no motivation to to do lowerlevel things.

I personally feel Abyssea was a fail. But at the same time i can see its nice for newer Players to get into Endgame fast.
But i think theres something to be done about players that outright play bad >_>

How about revamping that mentor System? Give Mentors bonuses? Change the condions to become mentor?
Its not like i have to do Abyssea if i dont want to. But i'd want the players to play better..... seriously.

I have issues with Abys but i don't have to do it.... but i have to play with ppl that leveld there later on!
So pretty please make them decent players...
