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

[ReplicaX]

People also complained about the same thing even before Aby.
Mostly 70+
- Bones Parties
- Mana Burns
- Bird Merit Parties

Any level
- AF Burn Parties

At least Aby XP isn't completely restricted to certain jobs and gives ppl the opportunity to level other jobs deemed not XP worthy by the "Community" at whatever point in time.

While I can understand some ppl like the old fashioned way, however the option is still there to do so if you find others with the same interest. As on my server I still see Qufim level syncs all the time.

How about this, if you like being legit, play the nostalgia way, which my LS on Odin is doing.
For those who dont care about the feeling of accomplishment and the sentimental value behind a piece of equipment let them be cheap and scoot through 30-90 with no skills, no spells, and the feeling of "ok im done now what".

Going through rank missions, farming for gear the normal way are just some of the reasons why people think aby just ruins the fun in the game. Its like someone just hit an easy button to get to 90

Exp'ing was hard?

[Fiarlia]

I've never once said that people shouldn't be leveling the old way if they like it. By all means, get to 90 in whatever manner pleases you.

Just don't start asking for restrictions on the ways you -don't- like exp'ing, since there are likely some that like it that way. I like my leeching, thanks. And I don't do it with idiots, my LS does LS only leech runs on Sundays, only three of us are actually killing any of the mobs, everyone else is getting free exp, and we rotate each week. So we're not helping the derps of Vana'diel get to level 90, unlike all the pickup groups.

The much preferred method as you are also contributing to your LS with job variety for events. More LSes should be doing this and I don't understand why they shouldn't. It's a win win when properly rotated.

Abyssea is the best thing that happened with leveling in this game. If I have to go through Qufim Island for the 9001th time because of people want the level cap in Abyssea to get increased to 70, I think quitting is a very good option in case I want to use a different job.

[Sagian]

I really don't have a problem with the method people use to level their jobs. In fact, I think it's fine for jobs where the skills for that job may already be capped, or at least close to capped. If you've got capped skills, then you probably know what you're doing or can figure it out.

The problem is, Abyssea consumes nearly the entire player population, making it almost impossible to find, or even form, a party in a reasonable amount of time. There is no incentive to form a regular party post-level 30. Abyssea has drained and broken every other battle endeavor in the game. Regular parties are dead. Campaign is dead. Besieged is dead, etc.

The level-floor needs to be raised, not to punish people who want to burn a job, but to re-purpose the areas and systems that were in place long before Abyssea made them obsolete.

I'll never understand you people who think the game ends when you get an armor. What background do you come from? Pokemon? As I see it, the fun doesn't even start until you get the armor. It is like how DOOM is boring until you get something else than your hand gun. (My favorite is the shotgun) Or how Final Fantasy 5 is boring until you get your jobs.

I'm sure some people enjoy those early sections of games, but I promise you the majority likes it best further into the games.

And that's what SE is doing~ they have plans for older battle content~ i believe they are currently going to implement new things for Campaign this upcoming update~ who knows maybe they will even consider Besiege if there is enough demand for it.

Honestly, who is this hurting? No one. Most Abyssea parties I have been in have only one leech, keywhoring. So it's not like they're taking anything away from the party. Any party that has 4 or 5 leeches I usually just drop and put my flag up again.
