I'd like to see the Level 30 restriction on Abyssea stay in place. I don't mind that people use Abyssea to level jobs quickly. The good players will play those jobs well, and the poor players will play their new jobs poorly. I like the fact that Abyssea is widely accessible to most players, and I hope it stays that way.

Furthermore, Abyssea's accessibility is to SE's financial benefit. How many people chose not to buy ToAU until they reached the relevant job level? How many players never reached the mid50s? Did this cost SE sales revenue? If Abyssea's level requirement of 30 encourages newer players (the few that actually exist) to buy the Abyssea expansions and join their high-level friends in the areas, then it benefits SE. When SE releases more download-able expansions in the future, I'd imagine that they also will have low barriers for entry.
with players like you...who needs a level cap? oh hell..why not just remove the cap completely! ya..sure..level 1 jobs march on in! who needs to even get to level 30 right?
....
in case you could not tell i was being morbidly sarcastic......-_-;
the level cap needs to be raised...simple as that. i don't want to see FFXI die. and at this rate...with things as they are. it will! what do you think this server merge is about? more players to play with? no! it's because the player population has dropped and new players are leaving no sooner they join. why? because no one levels in normal areas! and those who do only to level 30 then they join the abyssea gravy train to level 90 and don't know how to play their jobs and can't hit the broad side of a barn!
