What's up with Max Level Monsters in Lower Level Areas?

Why is 30k gil so hard to obtain!?

Why should lining someone else's pockets be a requirement?

Alternatively, why shouldn't he (hypothetically) buy gil from an RMT if the game is so gil-centric?

No one cares about how hard it is for you to do something that should take 20 minutes. You think its unfair? No one cares about that either.

You apparently care enough to post.

Just quit now, you sound like you are going to be a terrible high level.

With charming examples of the playerbase like you offering sage advice to new players like "Bend over like I did," it's no wonder the game is foundering.

FFXI: come for the grind, stay for the hazing!

Because that's how the game works.

Circumspection says Hi! Your lack of game knowledge makes baby jesus cry.

Circumspection says Hi!

Said it already, a lot of them are in locations that require you to drop invis to advance, making it useless.

Except that your little chicken-and-egg problem only goes back to '02.
