Low level exp parties

[Anjou]

I'm seeing a lot less of these, even in gusgen mines and their book burning. Literally I only see 2 people in here at a time with the pages. Is there somewhere that recently became the hot spot, or are low level players going to be forced to solo all the way to 30 where...yup looks like Crawler's Nest is empty most of the time too.


Can something be thought up to fix this?

Why does SE need to fix this? Because 18 people no longer there to burn pages? I mean every time I went at least 6-8 people were parked afk leeching maybe from falling asleep, or intentionally leeching because they know they could.

Anyone can solo up to 18 and then solo pages in gusgen mines. Then again anyone could level to 30 pretty fast if the person actually had the gear rather than expect to level up to 30 off level 10 gear.

Even with 3 people its fast.

I see someone relies on Gusgen Mines book burning a bit too much.

Try learning how to play your jobs solo for a change. It will make you a better player. Trust me.

Yes, spamming your single job ability and your one weapon skill while full timing gear will make you a better player.

My response was for those who level up to 30+ solely in Gusgen Mines book burns. Obviously you got whooshed and it wasn't even intentional.

No matter where you level to 30+ your not really going to learn anything...

The biggest shock I think I ever got was when this 99 BST comes running past me with aggro asking me to save him (I'm on PUP) and I'm like, "dude, just Charm it!" The response was "wait, I can charm stuff? how?"

This is the kind of thing that is happening nowadays from people who book burn Gusgen to 30 then key whore to 99. It's rather sickening if you ask me.

So Demon, I ask you....Try saying what you said to someone who leveled any job solo and see what kind of reaction you get.

Mages? How many WHM know how to be patient and spam lower level cures to conserve mp rather than use the highest tier all because it heals people faster?

Nukers trying to be a 1 man show depleting MP while drawing hate for nuking too hard when spamming lowest tier can build up to better damage over time?

Then you have DDs who don't know that if they are taking too much damage to begin with they shouldn't be eager to tank a mob especially if a War or Pld is in the party.

I could go on really...

So you're saying that BST, the most traditional soloing job in the game, could learn a lot about the job by soloing? You're not exactly going out on a limb there.

The vast majority of jobs in the game will not learn anything about party mechanics from soloing. Unless your whole point was that if you solo a lot you get better at soloing, in which case I'm not sure it's possible to be wrong.
