Its a trasition period for FFXI, you do realize that right? Everything cant be made and done perfectly right away. They have to take the updates slowly, and adjust things as they progress. Theirs no sence in updateing content to lvl 85 or introducting to much new content, when they no they have more level increase to come. Youll have to wait till an update or two AFTER the 99 cap has been reached to realy see where the game will be headed.
