Yeah all you can do is flame at other, hes not runing, hes just bored of the stupidnes of a leecher who cryes with all his power to prevent FFXI from working correctly. Guess who that leecher is, you.

Yes, we are all the stupid ones...

Just because it happened does not mean that it is the norm. The average player only used Colibri burns the majority of the time. Even then, you're adding, what, 4 zones to the mix if we're being generous (Jungle, Kuftal, Aydeewa, QSC)? That still leaves 85-90% of the zones in the game untouched. Some of them weren't used for exp even when us Dinosaurs were leveling.

There will always be people attempting to abuse, that simply leaves more zones for people who aren't morons and want to exp in a less crowded spot. Last time I had a Colibri (E Ronfaure) party there were only two parties and the chains were grossly slow because these camps can't support many parties.

I can guarantee you that if this happens there will be people attempting to abuse these areas but they will be the people getting slow exp due to overcrowded camps.

Overcrowded camps = Smart parties moving to different areas. When these different areas get overcrowded people will move elsewhere. When THESE spots are overcrowded people will move elsewhere, and the cycle continues.

I was simply using Aydeewa as an example. Places like CN, Garlaige (Top and bottom) Sauromuge weapon camps, Mount Z, The Boyahda tree, etc were all still used commonly as exp spots. It was only the introduction of Abyssea that made these spots desolate.

My gears are pimped out on max dmg

Please, by all means, show me your gear sets. Perhaps, it will change my mind on my way of thinking, and show me the errs of my way.

yesterday i remember someone saying theres no reason to up the lvl cap and challenged someone to list one well i will

reason 1: raising the cap will breathe new life into the old areas of vanadiel that have been tossed aside because of abyssea.

Adding in new "Dynamic Events" to the old areas will breathe new life into the game. Example:

A player walks by Selbina only to see an NPC running away from the town crying while carrying her baby in her arms. Said adventurer goes into town to see more adventurers fighting off pirate NMs, and other players *casting Water on a house to put out a fire*.

Different town, different country, different area = different type of "event".

Also, this doesn't mean people *have* to level this way. The old way of leveling should be kept intact and co-exist with this one.

reason 2: lvling in these areas will force people to periodically upgrade there characters armor from lvls 1-70 thus a reason for armors ranging from lvls 1-70 to exsist in the AH.

Leveling in these *events* will force people to periodically upgrade there characters armor from lvls 1-70 thus a reason for armors ranging from lvls 1-70 to exsist in the AH.

reason 3: lvling in the xp areas will also promote more synthing materials to appear in the AH due to the fact that alot of mats drop off of mobs people used to xp on.

If people choose to level only through the Dynamic Events, they can get the same rewards and exp as if leveling the old way, thus will also promote more synthing materials to appear in the AH.

OR people can just level the old way too, since they don't *have to* level in the refreshingly new and fun events.

reason 4: the combined effect of more synthing materials and the new need for the old gear that was origionally needed for lvling characters in the past will revive the games once thriving economy.

People will need old gear to level in these events, and they'll get the same synthesis materials too!

reason 5: lvling this way will allow characters to skillup while lvling. this will in the end save a bit of time anyways because once you hit 70 and go to abyssea to finish the lvl 70-90 you can accually hit something and not have to waste as much time skilling up.

Leveling in these *events* will allow characters to skill up too!

reason 6: this will allow new players to get partys alot easyer. all to often i hear new players shouting for partys in jeuno only to be told "lol go solo your lvls" this is just sad and we wonder why people quit the game so much. people play mmorpgs to be part of a community not to go solo everything.

Anyone of any level will be able to participate in these events. There will be things to do in each event for people of varied levels. Whether solo or in a group!

its very sad that most of the ff community has now come down with fast food syndrome meaning (i want it fast, i want it easy, and i wanted it yesterday >.>) this is just pathetic. you guys can bite the bullet on this one with the new xp bands and increased xp in the old areas it would take about 1 week to hit 70 in the old areas. rather than 3 days in abyssea you can sacrifice 2 days of xping to fix the game economy and help out new players. and with those reasons said i return the challenge give me 6 reasons why the cap should be lowered to 1 or stay the same and be sure to list reasons that will improve game dynamics such as sything, economy, use of old areas and so on. if you can find a way to fix all this and keep your leechfest then more power to you but i doubt that will ever happen.

OR I can just go back to Abyssea leeching cuz SE hasn't implemented my neat ideas yet.

I set my expectations a lot higher than killing nameless mobs so I can reach max level to participate in endgame events.

I wanna be able to be *immersed* in the virtual world and go on these events/ADVENTURES!

And if I want to, go and level "the old way" too, cuz just bashing something's head in over and over can be fun too.

Im fighting fire with fire.
Ramsos already got on my nerves since his first post same as you, you 2 have no life, you both are in here the whole day and just wait on a message to apear you can flame against, i bet you 2 weight 150KG each, sit all day infront of your PC and eat potatoe chips.

I love potato chips.

[Ramsos]

Lol i bet i did more Endgame as you ever will in the time FFXI has left till its gone.
My gears are pimped out on max dmg but i dont need to pose that, i know my gear is good.
And i prefer a nice slow experience point party becouse it is a fair way to get up, not like leechig.
You guys just dont know the true way of gameing, thats very sad, you allways want to put in the cheat codes by Gothic or Morrowind, and ask friends for Endboss savegames becouse you are too lazy to get the weapons and spells the correct way or get trough the game on own power. You are pitiful

More baseless claims. Its not your right to say what way of exping is right or wrong. I never leeched a job to 90, but I want the option if I want to level a new job. You can look me up on ffxiah, I'm not the best but I'm not clueless either. Ive done every endgame event this game has to offer to death. You claim to be "pimped out on max damage", so put up or shut up. If you are better than me (which you should be since I'm not exactly stellar), ill take your broken english seriously. Until then you're just another nameless troll.

omg, me too.

[Zeitzone]

I have my own proud, i do not pose, i never did for over 7 years ffxi, and i will not do it now!
I never exposed my char to anyone outside the game.
But if you played on Unicorn im sure you had meet me and the chance is high that i helped you to get your first af or beat CoP, becouse beside endgame i loved to repeat those fights.

Put up or shut up. If you think your gear is so much better than ours, and that you've done more endgame than we ever will, prove it or get out.
