Imagine the frustration of me, and others alike, who paid for full or otherwise high prices for the past expansions, including the add-ons which are 9,99 EUR/GBP/USD each only to be introduced to cheap 10-20 €£$ collections not so long after the release.

Meaning to say, I fully understand the frustration. I think one either gets used to it, or one can only keep complaining. I'm not sure if I got used to it, or if I just don't have the energy to care anymore...


ANYways, it's far from impossible to levelUP without Abyssea; there is the Fields and Grounds of Valor, which are increasingly popular methods for leveling up (and likely will be more so after the versions update that is around the corner). Even without those, the Experience yield is not bad at all from single monsters when you compare it to what it used to be around 5 years ago when I started. There were no Fields of Valor and it was quite hard to even duo for even little bit of EXP especially at low levels.

Now of course, a 'regular' party was easier to come by back then, so it's not that I do not agree with you. I actually play mostly solo, or with a friend or few, so any kind of solo-friendliness is a plus in my opinion, and this is something that I think still calls for improvement.


Just some thoughts~
