There is nothing wrong with large scale events where everyone can participate regardless of their skill levels, knowledge or gears. It's democratic, in a non judgmental way. Everyone can have the same level of fun without too many invisible walls and depending on LS for helps on every single thing. I like WoE, it's fun grinding diversion, it's somewhat rewarding, and it requires not much of effort. Well hopefully they will revamp Campaign and Walk of Echoes. Looking at the way SE works, all they do is giving you half baked new stuffs, do minimal tweak, then move on to the next thing, instead of actually do a full on revision. Whoever designed the battle system and reward system of Abyssea need to get back working on FFXI. I know you don't like Abyssea, but for some reason it is one of those add ons that you just cannot get rid of, no matter how many times you wish that people just abandon the area.... there are still people camping everything over there.
