Thanks for nothing SE per normal the mages of FFXI get shut out in the dark.
    How is this screwing over mages? Just go do some of the new BC fights with some friends I am sure you have plenty of seals if you done any kind of exping. I seen people shout for this stuff too could join one of those. Can't expect everything in the game just to be handed to you with little effort.

    If you like to do BCNMs for gil/loot, then more power to you. But the fact is most people don't and BCNMs are a complete waste of time. Let's say you're starting from scratch. Farming 50 Kindred's Crests at a rate of 6-8 per hour solo, that's about 7 HOURS of nonstop farming just to buy the entrance requirement. Also take into the fact that it normally takes another 90mins-2 hours finding 5 others to join your BCNM run. And for what? a 5% chance at getting the spell you need? forget it, its not even worth it. So instead of making it so you can buy the spell off an NPC at a moderate price or being able to farm it solo in a short amount of time just like every other Black Mage spell thats come out since the cap was raised from 75, they make it a huge inconvenience and a timesink.

    This has very little to do with effort. Theres a reason why Raise 3 and Utsu Ni has shot up in price over the last couple years, and thats because nobody bothers with BCNMs anymore. Theres plenty of other ways to make gil or worthwhile things to do in your spare time in FFXI.

    Making the game harder =/= Making the game more boring & repetitive
