I know a lot of people this will not affect as they are beyond the quests and 99, but for those of us who aren't, this is becoming an absolute nightmare.

Lvl 50 one I solod just, died in citadel due to bomb agro at the ??? But still finished it.
However the next one to collect 3 friggacites from xarcxabard is becoming a reason to just quit the game.

Three days now I've been shouting for help as all those from LS have bailed to xiv.
Three times I've had offers of help on condition I pay 500k Gil, that might be a trivial amount to someone high enough to farm, but for a lvl 55 that's beyond me.

I'm at the stage if thinking what's the point of playing as the next LB in the three strongholds is even worse..

If you really want to promote for people to level up, why hold that back by limit breaks that are seriously outdated

Killing three NMs to get a KI is not doable solo and with a dwindling population it's impossible to get people to help without paying way over the top.

A suggestion would be
Limit break 1:- hand over 10 beast men seals
Limit break 2:- hand over 20 beast men seals
Limit break 3:- hand over 50 beast men seals.
LB4 is kindred seals already with the follow ons seals, so it also makes it more fluid without restricting someone's abilities to level further.

As I said I know this won't affect many but for those leveling a character for the first time, this is a major hinderance so please consider either removing it or changing it to make it more solo friendly.

Oh and yes I did try to solo it, tiger one shotted me, with npc out and trust npcs.
Second attempt tried to sneak invis, didnt know they are true sight so died instantly again.
I've hit lvl 55 four times now due to down leveling due to this.
So this literally is a last ditch begging you SE to help someone out that really wants to enjoy the game!!!!

Thanks for reading and seasons greetings.
