About the Abyssea areas

Lol, when you have no more viable arguments, I guess it's time to throw the insults.

I'm a noob.

You heard it here first guys.

my problem with you is you have not attempted to make a simple argument...you have simply discredited every post that someone has made. so ya...i will insult you. because you are clearly just trolling for kicks.

The ironing is delicious.

I've made plenty of arguments. There's no trolling.

What part of level the way YOU want to was not understandable to you?

Just because you want to level a certain way does not mean everyone else has to. Do as you please and we shall do as we please. It's no more complicated than that, seriously.

Well obviously...you've got a Bieber sig pic.

I have no issues using Benediction or Curaga IV. If I do take hate on WHM, it's intentional and I have enough PDT to handle anything most mobs throw at me anyways. Regardless, the nail's been hit on the head by a dozen posters a dozen times in both the threads you've started so I don't really see any point in enabling you any longer. Worry less about what other people do and more about what you do. If you want to level in the overworld, advertise for an Outside-Exp linkshell or something. Everyone wins.

quite the contrare..the longer the thread keeps getting replied to the more chances are a SE rep will see it...see what we have been saying and go"oh damn...this many players? hmm...maybe something IS WRONG

I have said increase the min level to 70 or 75 since abyssea first came out. The leeching is so out of control. I had an alliance today go in and only 30mins into the party 4 people warped out changed jobs to low level 35ish jobs and came back in /anon. It wasn't pointed out to me untill they were almost level 50 each. I kicked them right away but this goes to show you that people are just lazy. Also I'm with everyone that says that abyssea did kill the party system from 30-75. Limit access to 75 which will help any new players looking to level low jobs because more players will be around and you get to learn your job better prior going into endgame.

As for the increase exp outside abyssea, it's about time SE did this. I wanted to lvl THF for a long time at only lvl 25. I was able to solo using FoV to 35 and I have all my stats caped. Just need to figure out a way for new players or even older players to level low jobs together again.

Well, that would explain why you've spent the past 3 pages uses caps lock and bold rockets against Cream Soda and myself without actually replying to the content of a single one of our posts. Okay then.

..i don't want to see FFXI die. and at this rate...with things as they are. it will! what do you think this server merge is about? more players to play with? no! it's because the player population has dropped and new players are leaving no sooner they join. why? because no one levels in normal areas! and those who do only to level 30 then they join the abyssea gravy train to level 90 and don't know how to play their jobs and can't hit the broad side of a barn!

It already was dying. I've seen more people return since the addition of Abyssea. And, their primary reason: Abyssea. The population continues to shrink. It was shrinking prior to Abyssea. Most of my hard-core friends had left prior to Abyssea being introduced. I was playing less and less every day. After 7 years playing a game, I think I've earned the right to feel uber in a game. The only problem is that the uberness was given to all players. Not just old-timers. Personally, I don't care if it means n00bs get to be uber too. Others, would rather keep everyone relatively weak, including themselves, as long as they had a slight, very slight, advantage over newer players.

My personal opinion is that there are 2 types of players that stand-out; the perfectionists and the sloths. I'm not sure if there is anyway to keep the sloths at bay other than refusing to include them when you do things. I have 4 jobs, everything is leveled. Well, except Guard and Parry, which I put hours into each week slowly working up their levels.

So, while you might have been satisfied with the way things were, a majority were not. Personally, I feel you are howling at the wind. But, to each their own.
