Legion still sucks.

Abyssea is the crack that keeps on giving, made the game super fun to solo, trio, small groups or dual box. Gives you tons of stuffs to do. Great resources of gill. Overall grade A+++ in terms of crack addictiveness, accessibility, and fun. Big LS dead right and left? Good riddance!!! Never really like big end game LS of yesteryears where only small handful of members get special treatment, and if you don't like to brown nosing, you get zero. I like what abyssea did, you can log in, go play, absolutely ZERO waiting on stuffs you want to do. Unless you want to do post abyssea content, in which case wait for shouts, and pray your jobs is XYZ or sorry, party is full, or go back level xyz jobs and not some LOLs jobs.

People complained that abyssea breed lazy players.... I am sorry, don't blame the content, blame the people, lazy players are just that, lazy people who never take the time or effort to try learning the intricacy of their jobs - no matter how fast or slow they get their level. They exist in 2003 and they still exist now.

Grossly exaggerated, and actually dangerously discriminatory in its rationale: "LS A had shitty rules that people could bypass through brown-nosing or sexual favors. Therefore, all LSs have shitty rules that people can bypass through brown-nosing or sexual favors." Strange to see this argument echoed in 2012.

That being said, I agree that Abyssea was a great injection of gameplay for FFXI, but after awhile even that great event gets boring and people want to move on to different things. There have been times during Abyssea activities that I literally have found my eyes fluttering down to close out of boredom since the content is so toothlessly easy now.

Honestly people give abyssea the "easy mode" but do they really know what their saying? We out leveled Abyssea so fast that we never actually played it at it's designed difficulty. Visions was for level 80 players, Scars for 85 and hero's for 90. Abyssite of Discernment did not exist for the first two expansions which made "procing" vastly more difficult. 200K brews didn't exist until after you beat Shinryu which is supposed to be one of the "final" boss's. Apadamek is a PITA at level 99, at 90 he was one hell of an annoying NM, so annoying that you just brewed him rather then deal with his BS. We still brew him at 99 so we don't have to deal with his aoe moves. So yeah abyssea is "easy" now for the same reasons AV because "easy" once they raised the level cap. If someone wants "challenge' then go and fight Apadamek with a group of 6 and no Atma / Crour / Brews buffs and tell us about how "easy mode" it was.

Mahoro I know there are a few good EGLS's out there, but the vast majority of them exist for the purpose of enriching and gearing their leaders and leaders friends. If your not inside the "in crowd" then your not getting priority on any gear and will be last in line for everything. Once the leader and his friends have acquired everything they want, suddenly they'll have the desire for a "break" or whatever and the shell will dissolve.
