I remember trying to raise my fame to get a Atma that I wanted. So, I finished all quests (cept 1) in Abyssea Grauberg and killed the main boss... now, after all this, my fame was still 1.. I needed to get it to fame lvl 3 in order to get the quest that I wanted activated.

Is it just me, or does this seem kinda lame? I mean, I remember farming for Utsusemi: Ichi and I had to raise the fame in Norg. And to do that I had to repeat a TON of quests. (Turning in Yagudo quests I think) I cant figure out why SE wants to keep this tradition.

When you finish all the missions/quests, shouldnt everyone in that zone, example Abyssea Grauberg, Norg know you by then? Repeating quests and missions is so frustration IMO.

I think SE needs to reevaluate theyr Fame-consept and make it easyer for people to raise it. Make it quest based please, not repeatable-based. As soon as you finish some quests, you get a higher fame, rather than finishing all the quests, then you may get 1 whole level of fame... >_>

Everytime when I hear old friends come back to FFXI on a new character or if someone start a new avatar, they say "Well, /sigh, time to raise that Norg fame again for the Utsusemi: spell...."

This just dosent seem right to me...
