The OP, as well as many others, tend to forget why things like Level Sync, FoV, GoV, and Abyssea EXP were introduced in the first place.

You will never, ever be able to party the "Classic", no-sync, no book way with FFXI's current population without a static. Not gonna happen. Plenty of people were already LFP'ing for literal days on end without invites even when the population was twice the size it is now, and the FFXI population is severely top-heavy now to boot. There simply aren't enough people looking for EXP for this to be feasible.

If you care that much, make a static party and go level your own way with friends.
