Raise the minimum allowable job level in Abyssea from 30 to 70+

[Khiinroye]

Leeching means you are contributing nothing, like the lv 70+ people who stand around at the dominion ops NPC. If your xp group is good, keying the chests keeps you busy the whole time, and you're spending 50,000 cruor per stack of keys, which you can go through very fast. Therefore, if you're lv 30 or lv 90, you're contributing the same thing, and you're your true level, too!

Pre-abyssea "leeching", the leech just stood in korroloka tunnel or in an xp party and did nothing. In abyssea, the leech has to actively contribute to the group. You could also level jobs over time via xp scrolls and campaign ops, without fighting a single mob.

The pro-increase arguments have been debunked again and again, only to be repeated with an "its cheating, its wrong, it kills low level stuff that about 10 people want to do!" Most of the playerbase has done the grind, several times, and don't want to go through with it for the 5th or 8th or 12th time.

If people wanted to do low level content, you'd see shouts for eco-warrior or garrison.

SE has taken a stance on grinding before. Its called the April 21, 2005 update.
