Low End Content *Until* Endgame Content

The “problem” I think when they made double EXP to all levels is that, people level too fast from 1-30, (You have to bring multiple sets of gear if you wanna keep up with the exp) and you dont level fast enough from 50+. (Abyssea is faster)

I think that the “EXP boost” should be increased via quests as you level. They could add “EXP boost”-quests/missions. That way people will have a better reason to finish quests and missions^^ It can help the over-all-content as you get to lvl 75. It can be a added bonus when you finish all nation missions, all quests from a nation etc.

I know SE is very afraid to change old content. They usually create new stuff instead. So either these “EXP-boosts” can be made avalable through new missions/quests or they can revamp the old areas to add “EXP-boost” rewards as you finish quests/missions; example all the Nation missions in bastok gives 10% of your level in exp bonus each mob. With each completed story line, you are added another 20% EXP bonus. All three nations done would give 60% in EXP bonus. All nations, ZM, CoP, ToAU, WotG, and 3 addons would make 200% of your level in bonus EXP. So if you are lvl 10, you get the normal exp + 20 exp plus. If you are lvl 50 you get normal exp + 100 exp, and so on.

Implementing the "Double EXP" in this way I think would be more beneficial. Then it would be adjusted to your level, rank, fame etc and would increse as you level and finished these achivements.

Another thing is when you get a fame rank up, you could get Experience Points. For fame 1 you get 1000 exp. Fame 2 you get 2000 exp, and so on. That way, people could also have an "extra" motivation to finish quests.

Also, "all-quests-finished" in one area, like Jeuno, Bastok, Windurst, could give 50k EXP reward. There could be a level cap, like lvl 50+ before you can receave the EXP (I dont think its unreasonable with that amount of EXP, but if you do, feel free to comment^_-)

Limit-cap quest could give 50 extra EXP to people over a certan lvl. when you break the lvl 50 cap, you get 50 more exp for lvl 50+ jobs. And when you break lvl 55 cap, you get another 50 (resulting in 100EXP bonus). And so on and so on.

Getting chains from 1-5 could give more EXP and should be adjusted to your lvl

Obtaining certan Titles that are difficult to get, could also give a "EXP boost" or EXP (or something else if you have a better suggestion).

Overall, I think this would make people wanting to do more stuff outside of Abyssea and at the same time make it more enjoyable ^_-

Once again, the only thing stopping people from enjoying the already-existing mid-level content is good ole laziness. Instead of actually getting people together in game to do some of this stuff, most people find it easier to bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch on any forum they can find. Usually it involves proposing some from of bribery to force other players into doing content they normally don't want to do (like Garrison).

Anyone could corner me with a 'but..but...Abyssea?' rebuttal, and I don't care. I, along with a number of people I know, enjoy doing stuff in Abyssea for a variety of reasons.

I love Abyssea, but I love the old world as well. Its not "lazyness" that stops people from going to the old content. Its just more beneficial to be in Abyssea.

Yeah, it absolutely is laziness. People would rather stand in Port Jeuno watching /shouts, complaining the whole time, than go out and actually do something. Actually lead.

But they don't.

To be honest, I've been having fun with the occasional trip to revisit older content. Assaults and Nyzul Isle are still fast and fun. I enjoy Dynamis so much more with a small party these days as opposed to an alliance (or more) half-filled with inattentive, poor players. I've even farmed popsets and Sky NMs for a few people who missed a piece of gear or two along the way or leveled new jobs.

A Humble Request for the FFXI Development Team: Is it possible to update Kirin so that he'll actually drop Wyrmal Abjuration: Legs once in awhile? It would mean a lot to myself and some of my friends. Thanks for your time and your consideration.

That is one of their points.... that is why people do not do lower level content, that is why there is no point to make mid level content....

(maybe not seeing their post now but that is how i took it)

I know, I know. I don't get why they won't take me in - it isn't like they are running full alliances. I don't get it but at the same time they have helped me out a lot so I don't really like to complain too much. It would help if SE made it so there was something an abyssea noob could do besides rely on the kindness of others... but whatever

Theres a bunch of solo quests you can do without any help at all, and its a good way to get all your confluxes so youre ready when the time comes.

Oh didn't know that. Thanks for actually offering useful info (you do it often!) I'll dig through the wiki a bit more now that I know that.

Actually, with the raise in XP and skill outside Abyssea I must say I'm enjoying leveling outside Abyssea. I've gone 1-50 in about 40 hours of playtime solo (discounting time spent waiting on new frames, roadwork for quests, etc) with all skills on myself and auto capped (excepting guard of course). It's actually fun again, and I completly managed to stay out of the dunes and Qufim, bonus!

1-50 was fine... but 50-60 has taken me SO LONG and now I have been 61 for around a week (partially b/c of taking time out to do level break/AF quests and not having as much time to play)
