For the same reason that low level healers have been useful in every other event since the beginning of time while low level DDs are useless. Don't single out abyssea when this is something that has happened since the game came out.

I'd imagine many of today's new players have friends already playing FFXI at a high level. It's not hard to level to 30, and once a new player does this, they have access to Abyssea and can adventure within with their friends. It may not mean much to jaded vets like us, but to a new player, it must be a trip wandering around such dangerous zones with a huge assortment of nifty NMs.

it hurts people that start and have no friends.

that issue was posted in the new player section before.

I would not say that, i think WHM had OP damage at one point before NA comp had it.
