Raise the minimum allowable job level in Abyssea from 30 to 70+

[Rambus]

I will say this after talking in the other thread

I would have preferred of SE making entry 70 or 75 in the first place. When I herd entry to it was 30 I was very confused.

Now that it is 30 people will defend it in saying that is how it should be. If it is changed to 70 or 75 would the damages be reversed? I really do not know if it is a good idea at this point.

I will say this though. I think its better for the new player if abyssea is 70 or 75, that could be part of the reason of lack of new people, even though we been getting lack of new people for a while.

I would like to know why SE thought it was a good idea to make it 30. I want to hear from developer, not player theory.

Hm. I really am quite surprised how many people are against raising the required level to 70. Hell, even I leeched my summoner to 90, but because my only other 90 was white mage. I'd drive my friends crazy asking them to kill things for me. A little bit of insight into a game developer's mind: It is NEVER good when any part of your game is rendered obsolete. And it is not the fault of the players. They will do whatever it takes to level up as fast as possible, which is perfectly fine. So players preaching to players about what they should do is stupid. SE has made a bad decision which has now caused so many people to cheat their way to the top.

As a side thought: I had been wondering why the hell I have been getting an abnormal amount of praise on my white mage, who was 75 before CoP. Well, I guess I know why now.

And wow. 100+ pages.

The amount of people leveling up new jobs was slowly dwindling to nothing, normal exp pts were already not that common right before abyssea came out. FFXI was designed for group play and the population of the game isn't what it used to be, which is making it harder to find groups. So of course they have to change things to accommodate the new smaller player base.

Imagine if they decided to announce the level cap change from 30-70 to enter abyssea in the next update.
Everyone would rush to burn every job they could/wanted to 90 before the update. Then after the update, no one would exp anymore, because most people have what jobs they want leveled up.

Its too late to change it now. You can argue whether abyssea 30cap was a bad/good idea, but changing it after being out this long is a definite mistake.

Please attempt to use capitalization and punctuation. It takes far less effort than exping the old way.

Was your point: people are lazy and want to read grammatically correct sentences?

[Orson]

I thought you enjoyed doing things the correct way. I just assumed that the bad grammar and such was because you were in a hurry to get your post done. If this is incorrect I apologize.

Sure you are, keep trying to play it off like you meant to do it like that.

My opinion of lazy are the people unwilling to research their job, not the people who remove the pointless grinding.


edit - too bad pictures can't be posted here, this would have been a perfect opportunity to post that winning by losing troll pic.
