Whats the point of a double xp weekend if it doesnt affect abyssea or gov?

LFPing on thief was pretty bad too. I started as a thief but reached 75 on war just because people invited me more often on that.

My opinions on the entire state of leveling today is something like:

Abyssesa exp is good, although perhaps a tiny bit too fast, this isn't really a very important issue. I don't think exp leeching should be possible to the degree it is today. While I don't mind exp being fast, I do think that people should actually input some commands to the game servers while leveling up. However, I don't think it is good for the game's community to change this now, after it's been possible to do this for years.

I also think grounds/fields of valor are a flawed system. Yes, it increases exp gain, but at the same it severely limits people in where they'd want to go to get decent exp, and penaltizes people for even wanting to take a break and leaving the area for a bit, seeing as you lose your rather significant book exp chain and lose a lot of nice buffs. I'd much rather that the F/GoV pages were toned down in exchange for an even higher boost to normal exp per kill.

While I don't think lv30s should be locked out of abyssea, I think perhaps the exp penalty for being severely underleveled in abyssea is too low. However (and this is important), at this point in the game, it is way too late to change this. Changing how abyssea EXP works now will only penaltize new players, who need the exp the most and also haven't even taken advantage of this .. feature? in a very large degree, while it has no effect on most existing players who have boosted all the jobs they want to 99 already. If there is anything this game absolutely doesn't need, it is for new players to spend more time leveling than the people before them.
