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

[kaht]

At the end of the day, SE's Abyssea sales webpage (and the description text in POL when you agree to terms to buy Abyssea) clearly states that level 30s can participate in Abyssea. Advertising that level 30s can enter and then increasing the level minimum after people have paid for the product (which we all have done) is a classic Bait and Switch. If they did that, they'd be legally exposed to truth-in-advertising lawsuits, not to mention I doubt it would take long for a breach-of-contract class action suit to form. And that's just in the US.

It would be, but, like, it's just their opinion, man.

There is one thing I'll give abyssea credit for.

Making the cry babies even louder than they used to be.

Why are his opinions laughable? You just compared an in game, perfectly legitimate mechanic to rmt. Those two things aren't really similar. I'd say it's fairly laughable to compare them. I've leeched jobs. I've had fun playing them. I took the time to find and get decent gear for them, then took even more time skilling any necessary weapon before I even thought about using them.

Yet there are people who have leveled entirely legitimately who wear full teal, can't play their jobs and are frankly appalling at the game.

Bad players will always exist. I'm not one for being stuck in a qufim island until 55, then being stuck on Colibri til 70. Prior to contrary belief hitting a ws macro every time my TP reaches 100% isn't teaching me a whole lot about my job.

I wouldn't quite call it game yet...
and i quote: Characters must be level 30 or above in order to undertake the quests of the battle add-on. Battles, however, are designed to pose a challenge to characters level 75 or higher.

So, if my understanding of abyssea's experience is correct, if not, then blame the people that explained it to me. lol
You gain experience from the monster's if you are level 61+ and if you under only from the chests, so all they have to do is block the experience gain from the chest's to a restricted level, say 70+. Even if the what i understand about the experience is wrong, my point here is still valid, if they do that, they won't be in any legal issue's because they did not promise experience.

Maybe you're not from America, in which case not knowing is understandable, but Americans will still sue. They might even still win if SE doesn't pony up enough to strongarm the court into silence. And SE won't want to pay the money required to defend themselves in court because a small portion of their subscribers want them to risk it.

It makes zero business sense. It's not going to happen.

[Nightstrike]

No, i am, and i also know how many stupid people try and sue for stupid thing's they have no footing on, and those case's get tossed out almost instantly.

I'm still not sure why so many people think that exping at 1-74 teaches people so much. Often times the game is played entirely different after 75, and anything you learned prior to that will just reinforce bad habits. This is particularly true for jobs like rdm, blm, smn, pld, etc. And even then, ffxi is NOT a hard game. Anyone can easily learn how to play a job well within a day or two, and within a week to a month can be an expert.

You're still going for that 100k post count?

I dunno how practical that would be on a forum where deleted posts don't count towards your post count (i've already had 100+ posts deleted), but sure.

It's funny to see people leaving parties if there are too many leechers in a party because of if one person has good atmas, that person will be doing doing half of the damage caused by the entire alliance because of a lot of people still haven't heard about atmas yet.

Hell you'd probably heal a lot better with a 50 WHM with 3 atmas than a 75 WHM with none.
