If they were to cap Abyssea to 75+...

[Ravenmore]

Wouldn't change much it would take 3 days to hit 75, and they will all still be gimped in weapon skill and magic skill. Level sync 20 and 37 with the odd 55. With everything most of the player base sees as the most fun happens post 75. Been said before most of the players 11 has have taken many jobs to 75 before the add-ons most don't see lvling as fun anymore. The grind and needing help(before all the changes) to do anything is what every single review of FF11 points to why not to play it. With WoW having over 6 mil players which is the better profit model.

It's beginning to look a lot familiar man.

Just because you can't exp your own way doesn't mean you should force others to.

Haha coming from someone who has all his jobs leveled cause of the decent and frequent party invites + aby your opinion inst valid...A brand new person leveling with a vetern in the same party and im 3lvls above only to come back on the next day to see him at lvl 79 cause of a aby burn is bullshit and they can do that cause theyve been playing for YEARS and all skills capped and also he didnt even know about SA its bullshit

Before I say my question just know I don't like how Abyssea is ruining a whole lot of the game and that's my standpoint on it.

That's purely an opinion, not a fact. And it certainly isn't the low level requirement that's ruining the game, if any part of it is. for the 400th time, this is a minor issue that is completely within the control of the players. If you don't like people being able to enter at a low level, then don't let these people in your group. If you're in a group that's allowing this, show them that you don't like it by leaving, or by telling the leader they should remove those people. Bam! You're playing with people you like and the way you like, while other people can play with the people they like and play the way they like.

And this is coming from someone who DIDN'T level jobs from 30 to 90 in abysssea. But I sure did level the subs that I have no intention of playing as mains there, and I don't think I should lose that privilege just because someone thinks it's "ruining" the game.

Now really. Why are we starting this up again? It's just going to the same place the last million-post-long thread went. And that place is nowhere.

? Lol, how do I have all my jobs leveled from Abyssea? I took BRD/RNG/DRK to 75 before Abyssea came out. Jobs I have leeched are BLU/DNC/WHM.

Who cares if someone can take a job from 30 to 79 in a day? Are you really that much of a sadist to make people EXP for potentially months outside just so they can experience the same mind numbing boredom you went through? Capping skills is a joke now and with Level Sync they most likely weren't going to have skills capped anyways. Not to mention you don't really learn a whole lot going from 30-->90.

capping abyssea so high would make no sense. Personally if i read an announcement where they said that, i would raise up all the rest of my jobs to 75 in a few days and then work on them as i wanted to. You can cap all of your jobs in a few weeks so that would only hurt the newer players even more. I understand where ur coming from on this one, outside of abyssea is dead. ToAU is dead, WoTG is dead, CoP is dead, RoZ is dead (not that the gear is dead, but the difficulty of it all is dead and it's not as useful as it once was). I loved all of that content and the wonderful storylines they had, I kind of wish abyssea had a storyline, but as it is it's more of just going to different dimension to fight monsters for some vague reason that I really couldn't care less about, however, i must admit i am having fun with abyssea.

I kind of wish they would release more jobs and a new high level storyline and high level city or something to explore, but exploring new areas and stuff has always held a special interest to me ever since i was a wee little valkurm dunes newb that happened to board a certain ferry that got attacked by pirates, only to be sent back to my hp in ssandy cuz i couldn't pay 10k for a raise (yes they charged for raises back then). Personally i'd have to say that ToAU was my favorite expansion, it was well thought out, deeply interesting, and was probably the most highly anticipated expansion that the game ever had. WoTG was great, but honestly nowhere near the callibur of ToAU. I still keep wondering about the mithra homeland to the south, the gigas homeland to the north, the far east where phoenix comes from, and the tribal land to the west of the main continents. There's alot of unexplored content in the game that could literally take a decade of expansions to unveil, so much so i don't even know why we needed a new game, but that's a whole other topic. The fact is that the old content was great, but it was great in it's own time, and new adventurers just aren't going to ever experience it the same way. It's time to have new adventures with new people (personally i'm meeting all kinda of cool people as abyssea is an extremely social event, something that WoTG was not...it was kind of cold, distant and noone worked together and many elitists were born...ugh).

I know that abyssea can seem like it overshadows old content, but i know alot of people that are finally able to explore those old areas, and once the leveling craze has ended and we are all lvl 99, i'm sure SE will have some truly epic endgame events to sink our teeth into. I think it was a smart move to increase the level cap and to allow people to enter in @ lvl 30, it ensures that newcomers can get on an even footing as some of the veteran players that have been playing for more years then they can count on one hand, the game needed to be more new player friendly and i'm glad it's finally able to atract hordes of newcomers to delight in the epic adventure that is FFXI; i've had tons of friends quit over the years because it was just too hard to catch up (i don't think they understood the fact that it wasn't about catching up, it's about going on your own adventure and finding like-minded adventurers to help along the way). But now those same friends that quit are coming back and finding that they too can achieve high lvl and fight alongside their seasoned friends. It gives us old adventurers some new people to teach and I for one am really enjoy it i just feel sad that the new people aren't really getting the whole adventure and the struggle with comrades against unimaginable odds that I was lucky enough to experience in my own adventure, but i'm hoping that new high lvl content (90+) will provide us that challenge once again ^^

Just for the record, this thread isn't about if they are going to add a 75 cap. This is IF they did add the cap, how would it be fair to NEWER players who never had a taste of Abyssea below 75.

None of you guys read my post at all.

So once again let me state that the question is.

"HOW WOULD IT BE FAIR TO NEWER NON ABYSSEA PLAYERS IF THEY GOT ABYSSEA IF THEY DID IMPLEMENT SUCH A CAP"
