The majority of the "new" players are ones that are returning; of which I'm sure more than half had originally quit because of problems with the old systems. You sit here and complain that SE is making changes to this game, you incessantly cry over abyssea and changes made to the exp system in general, and now you want to actually make the claim that this dynamis update is somehow going to take away players' "hard work"? What work? The most difficult thing there was to do in dynamis was staying awake for the 3+ hours it usually ran.

So while you are sitting at your computer intently looking for the next great injustice brought about by the dev team why don't you try to keep a few things in mind:

1. No one is forcing you to participate in any of the content in this game
2. If there are so many people that feel as strongly as you do that the devil (Abyssea, easier exp, revamped content) is a bane to the existence of this game then perhaps you should all congregate together on a server and actively not participate, or protest, or burn books, or whatever it is you people do with your time
3. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that others aren't enjoying it
4. Realize it's a game and if you don't like the changes being made you are always free to voice your opinion quitting the game.
don't you even care about what happened to the challenge? that's what the big issue is about here. i love a challenge. and SE is taking every challenge FFXI has..one after the other and turning it into a laughing stock. i pay roughly $25-30 a month on FFXI with all my content IDs included. sure that don't seem much at a small glance but think of it one the long term scale 25x5 years=$1,500-$1800(if i'm doing the math right) now times that by the player base who wants a challenge in the game which makes up more than half of the Alexander server which has roughly 1200 people in it 600x1,500=$900,000-$1,080,000 now looking at those numbers...that's one hell of a profit not even including how many content IDs other players may have and how much their monthly totals to...now consider this: Those players all leave due to the lack of challenge in the game.....ya...that's bad for them! unlike you i don't look at the here and now i look at it from a long term business point of view. which makes your statement about the"here and now" pretty much irrelevant but not completely. the points you made at the bottom are dead on...but i stay because i love this game no matter how much FFXI kills it..however if they kill it much more i may actually leave.
