How Final Fantasy XI has changed... Lv.1-10 naked 20mins, Lv.10-30 BB leech spot(400k) AFK naked 5 hours, Lv.30-95 Abyssea leech spot(1mil) AFK naked 16hours, AF what? there is no reason for it. Just use all that Cruor from leeching on emp gear. not naked anymore, runs to the forums skilling up takes to long. SE adds skill up food/gear... shouting in jeuno for help with LB... runs to the forums it's to hard, SE makes it easier. I'm not saying this is how everyone plays Final Fantasy XI (You know who you are), but having the game playing without you being there and making it to easy isn't playing the game.

Ok now we're up to Voidwatch hmm.... ok I can't remember anyone complaining about having to get access to sky in order to do those VW, I feel it's fine the way it is and if Square Enix do change it that's fine also, but then again... if said person has not complete the walk through VW said person will not advance into getting their own Key item upgraded, will only rely on others for a handout like they been doing to Square Enix on these forums. Somethings are meant to be tough. If Square Enix makes it easy fine let it be another thing that is easy. I mean this is an online game and things do and will take a lot of time. I can't help to wonder why said people are on fast-ward. If said person don't do the before content the after content you'll know nothing and would just hear and read about it and not experience it.

How about said person can experience the battles and those CS without being able to get loot until they have upgraded their Key items. this way it's a win/win they get new content, but they still have to give an effort on upgrading cause it's all about new content right and not relying on others for upgraded key items. ^^

Oh well am not against nor agree with the OP, Voidwatch; to be continued.
