Abyssea level cap

[Anathiel]

When you see a person that doesn't know how to do their job at 90, point them to the nearest wiki. And btw, back when the cap was at 75 you still had a ton of people that sucked at their jobs. (Thfs that couldn't SATA, rdms that sucked at refresh, whms that couldn't keep party alive, ninjas that were horrible at utsusemi casting, sam's that didn't know SC charts, drks that would use all their JA at once and promptly die, brds that couldn't seperate between giving melee, melee songs and mages, mage songs, drgs that had no timing on jumps to get rid of hate and couldn't keep wyvern alive to save their life, blm's that couldn't time a MB at all, I really hope you're getting the point.)

With book burn parties, why do people still need to leech?

GoV burning is still slow compared to Abyssea, but it provides an option for those who aren't leeching in Abyssea.

I'd rather they add options as opposed to take them away. Make FoV as good as GoV with the bonuses and whatnot. Add more pages to all zones that are just one mob type that's reasonable to fight. If you still lose some exp with your adventuring fellow out, maybe get rid of that like they did for BST pets, to make soloing a little nicer. People returning to the game and just starting seem pretty unhappy with the way exp is pre-75, but the answer is not to make the game more like it used to be. The only thing that was remotely better about exp in the old days was that there were more people your level trying to exp so the odds of finding anyone seeking to exp in Qufim with you were higher. The game needs to continue to adapt to it's smaller/top-heavy playerbase.

No. They. ***. Aren't.

A small, SMALL minority of people are. Most of them old players, because I'll tell you what, most of the returning players came BACK because of abyssea exp so stop making retarded generalizations based on what maybe 100-300 people out of the 500,000 (or however many, basing that number off last year's census or w/e) that play the game say.

So generalizations are bad, and pulling numbers out of nowhere is good. Gotcha.

Also, I don't get why you're mad. I'm agreeing that the OP is wrong and they shouldn't change the entry level for abyssea.

I wish everyone who wanted more active ways to level to 90 had such a positive attitude and a desire to see FFXI adapt to it's player-base.

This post is way more constructive than the usual "THE GAME SHOULD NOT EVOLVE EVER BECAUSE THE T-REX DID NOT EVOLVE INTO ANYTHING AND THE T-REX IS MY FAVORITE DINOSAUR! BRING BACK 6-MAN PARTIES AND KILLING 985374 CRABS AND BIRDS!"

It would be great if Fields of Valor were made more like Grounds of Valor. I still have a level 10-ish job or two that I should level to 49, and that would make the process a lot less monotonous for me.

Same here. I am leveling a new character at the moment, and I would love if it wasn't just a giant frigging grind. Why are all those books telling me to kill 2 different mobs that don't spawn anywhere near each other, or the books?

I think they need to make EXP outside of abyssea match the EXP inside. That way both pro evolutionists and dinosaurs get their way.

Why are you so upset?
