It was also pointless back in the old days too. You could static a group up to 75 with out s sub just the same. Not fighting IT++ meant not having one didn't hurt your exp. On top of you didn't need to do the rank missions or CoP mission or anything else to get to level cap. FYI getting to cap meant next to nothing, no limit break did you need a sub and as you most likely did was use a high level to get the item you needed. It took me 8 months to get my first 75 then it took me 3 weeks to get my sec.
