- then spent a big chunk of the day, everyday, staring at Dragon Aery's darters
- Waste more of your usless life in Behemoth Dominion staring at other idiots
- Mindlessly running around sky fighting for a pop once every few hours like a bunch of stupid fools.
- Use an army of the mentally retarded to farm your relic or being used by greedy bastards to farm their 3rd relic while you don't even have 1M gil next to your name.
- Stupid Limbus and its unreasonably long cooldown and restrictions.

If you still think the above could keep FFXI alive in this date and age, or if you still think the above were enough for people to keep paying monthly fees, there is no way for your undeveloped brain to comprehend how Abyssea saved FFXI.
*clap* you sir, nailed it.
