Why complain about abyssea levels?

[svengalis]

I wouldn't imagine people doing that. =n= It's silly. Sure, like "Oh hey, need to make dinner" or leaving for the bathroom or "Bellian just rose from the depths of hell in my living room and I need to go purge his demonic spirit and save the realm of mortality from certain and inevitable doom" are acceptable but just... Disappearing? I'd prolly boot them..

It's the same thing though. Why join an Abyssea alliance if you know you have to leave soon? because you wanted to leech afk LOL. They make up some lame excuse as to why they will be afk so we don't kick them.

My opinion is ffxi is slowly dieing and they need a way to gain levels quickly and hence abyssea just an opinion again

What they need is a vendor that can supply the base versions of all the weapons and armor from level 1-AFv1 (maybe even early 70s). This would complete the cycle of gil going from player to system, instead of low level player to high level player.

This is, unless, people start griping about not getting +1s of such gear.

I never complained about the whole Abyssea leeching/keywhoring. I'm actually all for it. Most of the FFXI playerbase has had 7-8 years to lvl many low lvl jobs the hard long grind, so now to those players we need a break from lvlling hardcore like that and give us all time to stop the long-time lvlling and enjoy other content FFXI has to offer since there's a lot out there. A lot of the playerbase probably hasn't done most of the quests, missions, crafting, etc. because they might've spent a long time taking as many jobs as they can to the max lvl (75 almost a year ago) and they had to do it through that long grind.

The world is changing and everything in this world is becoming a faster pace, but people should be happy that they still have that long grind option if they feel they need to get their grinding fix in play to take their time to lvl a favourite job. For myself personally I would rather breeze through lvl nowadays because my real goal in FFXI right now is to complete every single quest available that FFXI has to offer. The quest that will take me the longest to achieve most likely will be the Mythic quest-line. I am also glad to get all jobs to 75+ now to finish up the rest of the AF quests and also to obtain the Nyzul weapons to unlock all those WSs.

the main reason why there isnt any gear for low-mid lvls is because its "not needed". why should i gear up my lvl 30 when im just going to leech til 90 on it? thats the mentality now. when back in the day, you would need to regear after every xp party, because you actually did something for those 60 levels. now, its all about the leech. its very sad, noone wants to actually work for stuff anymore.

people wont be happy until they log in with all lvl 90 jobs, fully skilled, and god gear in their inventory. cause getting that stuff is a "time sink" and not worth it.

If they want +1s, that's what we crafters are for. But take a second look at gear in excess of say... lets go with level 30. 10k+ each at NPC. It gets much worse as time goes along, and that's per piece. Sure, supply isn't an issue, but the whole reason buy at AH over NPC is that it is cheaper and you know another player is benefiting. As an alchemist, all I can get you is add. effect weapons and cermet gear though....
