I really hope the devs read this thread and listen to the people!

I'm sorry, while the "lazy" part of me defiently agrees with this as there are some jobs i do want to burn but the sheer thought of having to deal with them from 1-30 turns me off from even touching them, "the "RPG" side of me says there is way TO easy, i think that 1-30 is there for a reason, you may as well tell them to let all advanced jobs be set to being able to unlock at level one as well, right with the cop startings, etc. my point is, i don't think this is a good idea, because the game is already easy enough with the recent updates, this will just make it downright boring.

You take a level 1 job and sit it in abyssea and just leech it to 90? you can't seriously expect that to be even remotely challenging (yea i know ffxi is easy, etc, etc.) but at least leave SOME work there, the 1-30 does seem like a trial, it's a way of saying "at least learn the job somewhat 1st" you also may as well ask them to increase the exp gain in abyssea to 9999 each kill. you get my point? i honestly don't think you guys really want it THAT easy, i mean honestly speaking, if you don't want to deal with the job from 1-30 then you really had no interest in it to begin with. which is why my select few jobs i left at low level are staying because they aren't that intresting to me to begin with.

Besides, for the few that do level low level areas, it will even be more bare because everyone will just run to abyssea the minute they unlock the job.

It would also affect other things like CP no one will ever level in those areas because there will be no point, and all areas will eventually be always taken over by beastmen because no one will even care to bother with low level areas. Which will in turn mean:

No OP warping because you can't use beastmen areas

there are many others, but this is the most important one to note.

The lack of gear for lower levels is also another reason to lower the entrance level to 1. If there's no gear to wear until later levels, why not let people burn their way out of nakedness?

I have to disagree with alot of the sentiment around lowering the level requirement. I think it's not high enough, myself, because leeches contribute nothing to the battles, they just plant their ass down within exp distribution range and do nothing. But then I don't much approve of PLs, either. Also, there's plenty of low level gear. The 'catch' is that it's low level, providing barely a shadow of what high level gear does. But that's the point. You aren't running around at low level slaughtering gods, you're killing rabbits and worms! You don't need epic equipment.

People need to quit trying to find ways to turn FFXI into WoW, seriously.

There are people who come in abyssea at level 75+ and sit around and do nothing but leech...low level just gives them an actual excuse to sit there and do nothing. level 1 just means they can do it even longer.

They're the ones who built the PT, if you don't want leechs, build one without them.

Raise the level cap??!?.. Lower the level cap??!?

How about forget about the cap and don't play with leeches if it bothers you so much

seems so much simpler...

Someone probably already posted but please just auto-lvl my unwanted jobs to 90. I'm serious. Seriously.
