I lol'd. Typical female, too shortsighted to see the big picture and claims any viewpoint contrary to hers is inferior/wrong. Lazy people are always going to be lazy, regardless of Abyssea.

If people gear/play jobs effectively and learn job mechanics through other resources besides grinding 1-70, they shouldn't be subjected to leveling the 'proper' (read: retarded) way. Yes, gimp/lazy players are an unfortunate byproduct, but I'd argue that they've been around long before Abyssea/Levelsync.

I agree that new players would do well to grind the old way, but FFXI isn't exactly growing with new players. In the rare case of a new player, they are just as capable of being pointed to online FFXI resources to learn game mechanics just as easily as before. All it takes is one person to unveil the good FFXI community sites, and for the new player to be willing to accept ideas/playstyles based on trial and error from other's findings.
