Mini Brew Alchemy level 110 consumable.

Are you kidding? It offered people who aren't as fortunate to have friends or the jobs leveld that can solo the big mobs in abyssea. With the auto reraise someone can hold a mob while people get reorganized/unweakened. Brewing helps with killing mobs that prove to be more tenacious than most think at first.

Brewing and Auto RR is something you earn, doing the entire expansion makes getting brews not as nightmarish than the original 2,000,000 cruor. Your friend who beat Shinryu and got that KI can help -you- by brewing mobs when your LS is off doing delve and leaving behind people who need to catch up.

In my opinion, temp items, brews, spoiled people. Giving everyone Less time farming, less work. Which leads to less caring about showing up independent to big events. Atmas, Cruor buffs gave you false power of seeing potential in something we should have been given permanently through level progression.

Sort of like rather than giving you $100 for working one week. You get $50 pay and the other $50 worth of vouchers that can only be used at the store you work at.

To depend on Brews also means you don't need to invite a lot of people to those events. You also don't need to worry about having the right gear because it also gives you a way to do without.

Although we all might hate farming Gil, it does make you work harder on your job. Gives you a reason to go out and play different maps than just stay in places like abyssea where everything is given to you easily.

Now that SoA doesn't offer you that, people had to go back and re-adjust to the old values we all had to learn when FFXI first released. The importance of gear, food, meds, and how you can contribute to the team as an individual without temps, atmas, buffs handed to you.
