Lower The Minimum Level Required To Enter Abyssea from 30-1

[Yarly]

That is such a lie.

.....

blu learns 25 things from 1-30.

you win, i was wrong!

I'm in complete agreement with the OP. Soloing to 30 is generally more efficient than party (SMNburn excluded) but it is monotonous and boring.

Partying (with the exception of SMNburns) is a complete waste of time for all but a select few party builds, and if you start getting picky and jobs you may as well be SMNburning.

I think introducing Abyssea to level 1 players would be loads of fun. Think about it honestly.. how many of you got to do the Bubbly Bernie alliance? Most didn't (but secretly wish they had).

Even excluding the leech factor, wouldn't building a level 1 alliance exp group rock your face off?

If someone posted something similar then: awesome. I'm not reading 600+ posts lol. This ain't BG.

Also, you don't learn a damned thing about your jobs at levels 1-30. So this artificial level requirement seems unnecessary.

I agree about arbitrary level requirement, but I disagree heartily about the not learning anything statement.

In fact, everything I need to know in FFXI I learned pre-30:

Goblin Leechers suck.
The Dunes suck.
Goblin Gamblers suck.
Low level parties suck.
Banshees suck.
Accidentally targetting that NM bird in West Saruta while soloing sucks.

The walk to Jeuno rocked! I hoofed it solo as 18 THF, spamming my linkshell with fearful questions about EVERY mob I saw aggroing or not.. hiding behind trees as if it made a difference.. Best adventure ever.

If I made that trip and then got 90 the same day, that would have been the best day of my life!

This seems to be the only some what tiny... sad argument in lowering it to level 1. Really how many times do I need to heard this? When it gets down to it, the people that want it dropped to level 1 all seem to hate level, and think it is a boring chore that wastes time......

Again are you forgetting what you are playing? This is an MMORPG, saying these things just show that you might not need to be playing an MMORPG at all, if this is how you really feel.

I never realized there was only one way to play an MMORPG. Guess I've been doing it wrong.

I support this idea of changing the minimum level cap to 1 for Abyssea!

It is and it is.

Nobody's saying you are not allowed to exp the "oldfashioned" way. Or solo, for that matter. You can now, and you still can even if Abyssea level cap is lifted. Which I hope will happen.

If you bothered to read my post, I said you learn nothing about your job but you do have a point, I suppose.

You forgot Goblin Smithys!!!

I'm not following you. The guy you are arguing against likes the Massive Multiplayer Online content. So he clearly wants to play a MMO. Secondly a RPG is a Role Playing Game, which means that if you are not speaking in character and role playing, you are doing it wrong anyway and have nothing to back up your claims about what you SHOULD be doing in a MMORPG.

And I must admit I still don't see the special charm in leveling. The only difference between leveling and playing as level 90 is if you get a Level Up! text on you occasionally. There is nothing special about it at all.

Do you want to explore the world? Works just as fine at 90.
Do you want to kill different monsters? All available at 90.
What you seem to miss is mission BCNM challenges, which is your own choice. Leveling to 90 is rather counter productive if you want the game to be hard. That is like eating a brew and then complaining that it was easy.
