    The game for the longest time has been about getting to 75 then doing missions endgame what not. CoP before the nerfs meant you had to have least one 75 and if it wasn't the right job you then had to whm to 60, rdm or nin to 60 just so you had a decent job for all the level cap fights. Unless you only did shout groups that either failed over and over or got really lucky.

    Even if you make an event that gives out godly amounts of exp to players 1-90 and is super fun, what's the point of EXPing outside of said event? What's the point of doing Campaign? You are merely suggesting for another Abyssea-esque event to take the new role of best way to EXP. You're still invalidating other methods to EXP.
    I think youre missing the base concept a bit. Chest whoring in Abyss is actually quite a dull way to level, and some people dont want to do it. So yes, thats exactly what theyre asking for. An alternate EXP method that actually involves, you know, killing things and fun. Doesnt have to be something new either, not sure where you got that from.

    Leveling has always been boring. I'd rather take greater EXP/hr than less with a gimmick. I feel the playerbase is the same, which is why most have migrated to abyssea 30+.

    Try to think of it from the perspective of a new player or someone whos just come back to the game. They come expecting a good experience from leveling, not to key whore in Abyss for 45 levels.

    I think back on my times in end game (well, what's left of it now), and the fact that I enjoyed it A LOT more than what was required to get to that point, and would not wish it upon a new player.

    Well yeah, but key whoring (i assume that's what you're proposing as an alternative) is more boring than the old way of leveling to a lot of people. If you wouldn't wish the old way of getting EXP upon them why would you want them to go through something they see as even less of a fulfilling grind?

    It does not make sense.

    I never said that. Right now this topic is about content outside of Abyssea for levels 1-74.

    Want a reason for people to experience in CP areas again? How about releasing new CP items for rank 10 that costs several hundred thousand CP. These items are fricking uber and unique, so uber and unique that I can't even conceive them at this time. That would force people back into CP areas. Make these items for ToAU too but different items. Problem motherfreaking solved. Next problem, go.

    Meh, I personally like the traditional way of levelling. If I ever got bored with it...and I have, mind you...I would do something else. That's the beauty of FFXI...there are several different activities to do. Now, are all of em soloable? Hell no. lol. Me, personally, I wouldn't mind a revamped system of exping or more activities mid-level. I have a few jobs that are in that level range so I would be able to reap the benefits. I dunno if it's ever going to happen though...
