When my husband started playing again last year he cancelled his account because he said and I quote "it isn't a game anymore, I don't get to play my role because the mobs die before I can attack, where is the fun in having someone else level for you?" I would really like the old system back, but I'd like it to have some major changes to it so it's not a horrendous grind the higher the level you go and doesn't take all day to find people to team up with.

I have no issues whatsoever with people wanting to EXP the old way. I know plenty of people who do just that, because they dislike Abyssea for it. I also don't have a problem with people asking for old EXP back, even though that is objectively pointless, because old EXP is not gone at all. The only thing I have a problem with is stating that old EXP was somehow building better players and the new way to EXP is a mass-production of noobs. These statements are stupid, and people making those statements deserve to be called out on it.

I fully acknowledge that Abyssea EXP is less "playing" the game than other EXP and more like letting other people play for you. And that is perfectly fine with me. EXP is the one aspect of FFXI that I have always hated. If I can get someone else to do it for me, I'll gladly do it, I'll even pay them to, which I did more than once. I simply don't think that all parts of the game are worth playing, and EXP is one of those parts.

And that was only if you were on one of maybe five jobs.

I'm still waiting for the GOD adherents to explain how this was more preferable to current party system.

it was perfered because it taught you how to play ur class in line with other jobs.. you never blindely zerged as you do now. ppl talked and gave tips to each other on how to better play.

You guys in the wiki generation are lucky... we didn't have a 1 stop shop online to learn our classes we had to do trial and error. I perfer it because u can infact weed out the "gimps" and the "leeches" if u was either or both everyone knew it. PPl made u work for ur stuff... now i see ppl leech content cuz of the proc system...

this would be noob talk back then and showed how u was a lazy person... why would ppl even want you in doing end game if "you don't feel like doing the work" exp gain is part of the rpg... ever since D&D... are you gonna play that and tell ur DM that u gonna leech... u'd be kicked out...
