    If they were to cap Abyssea to 75+...

    Before I say my question just know I don't like how Abyssea is ruining a whole lot of the game and that's my standpoint on it.

    Anyways, here's my question.

    If Abyssea was capped to 75+, how would they make it fair to all the players who didn't get a chance to get EXP the super crazy easy way like players before such a cap (if it happened) happened?

    To be honest, everyone who has Abyssea probably has a ton of there jobs already up by now and I don't think there's a way to fix that. So a bunch of the players who haven't done Abyssea like that in the lower levels are SOL.

    Solutions?

    *EDIT*
    Just for the record, this thread isn't about if they are going to add a 75 cap. This is IF they did add the cap, how would it be fair to NEWER players who never had a taste of Abyssea below 75.

    None of you guys read my post at all.

    So once again let me state that the question is.

    "HOW WOULD IT BE FAIR TO NEWER NON ABYSSEA PLAYERS IF THEY GOT ABYSSEA IF THEY DID IMPLEMENT SUCH A CAP"

    Raising the Cap to 75+ has always been, and will remain a stupid Idea.

    Giving us the Option to do Old Fashioned Exp, Or to Abyssea exp was the right choice by SE. I personally have still been invited to Colibri parties, Dunes Parties, Even a Qufim Party. They exist at least on Asura. I like being able to CHOSE where i want to exp, and that will always be the better option. I got a Maat's cap back when the hottest exp spot was MMM, Not a single one got Abyssea burned, and i can safely say I really don't care how other people play the game. If they want to exp the old way, They can. If they want to exp in Abyssea, Let them. Its their choice.

    They gave us the Choice, it should stay that way. Taking our choices simply because some people do not agree with our choice is a bad solution, Which is exactly why SE has not done anything about it. I think they're going to keep the Minimum 30, And give everyone the option to make their own choices on how to exp.

    This thread is going to inevitably degrade into a bitch-fest between the people for abyssea, and against abyssea again...

    I'd like them to do that, though there are still partys going on its next to impossible to find partys in places 55+ cause all the old players just go to aby and skip all the other work...I see it as cheating being a new player, i dont see the game as fun as it was when my cousin played. Aby kills the fun of the game faster

    This thread is beginning to look a lot familiar
    Ev'rywhere you go;
    Take a look around and glance once again
    With opinions stated as fact aglow.
    It's beginning to look a lot familiar
    Opinions told as fact in ev'ry thread
    But the prettiest sight to see is the abyssea that will be
    On your own FFXI.

    A pair of AF3 boots and a Armageddon that shoots
    Is the wish of everyone;
    Gimps that will talk and will hopefully go for a walk
    Is the hope of everyone;
    And BlueGartr can hardly wait for flamewars to start again.
    It's beginning to look a lot like opinions stated as fact
    Ev'rywhere you go;
    There's a tree in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, one in the ToAU as well,
    The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the gimps.
    It's beginning to look a lot like opinions stated as fact;
    Soon the flamewars will start,
    And the thing that will make them troll is the gimpness that you spew
    Right within your heart.

    Trying too hard.

    for future comments, how about actually reading what I post?
    It's a SIMPLE question. I asked this question in a previous thread and no one answered it, so this is why I made the thread.

    Well, the thread IS basically "What if they implemented a controversial game adjustment that they've shown absolutely no hint of even wanting to work on? Wouldn't it be unfair to some people?"

    The short answer is: Yes. It would. And they probably won't do it so it's a moot point.

    I don't exactly remember directing that comment at you. Maybe for future comments you should actually read posts slow enough so you can comprehend what is being said. I said "This thread is beginning to look a lot familiar" in that it will soon be off topic and thus be familiar. I think I'll use your words, "trying too hard" to discredit the posts of someone else. It's my opinion that this thread will soon go in the same direction as the others; I've learned from these forums that opinions can be stated as fact so, as such, this is my opinion.

    Leveling is more than twice as fast as before outside of abyssea, so if they raised the level restriction, people would just complain for a while and then find themselves ready to enter abyssea after 2 weeks of normal play outside abyssea. So to answer your question, they wouldn't have to do anything. People just level up and be at level 75 after 2 weeks.

    Just because you can't exp your own way doesn't mean you should force others to.
