Try not being anti-social. Try shouting for people or starting a linkshell. It's people like you who whine and cry that everything should be solo-able/low-man-able which ruins the game for the rest of us who enjoy harder content. The Abyssea era is over. For as long as I've played FFXI, it has been a game about teamwork, so get over yourself and your subscription argument. And as far as nerfs go, what nerfs? Dual-wielding jobs are getting buffed, Resolution hasn't been nerfed, /DRK will be boosted. Embrava is getting nerfed because people are relying on it to clear at least three-four different contents instead of strategizing adequately. Perfect Defense is actually going to reflect your Summoning Magic skill compared to how currently it doesn't matter what skill you have as long as you have the MP you get the full effect.
