BLM really only has major mp issues outside of Abyssea if you play as though you are in Abyssea. I can certainly accept that people don't have all or even half of the items listed for auto-refresh, but there's no excuse to not work toward getting them. None of the pieces require that much work to obtain (though some may require a fair bit of time and luck). Even with overly expensive nukes (which is perhaps something SE should look into as T5 nukes break the mp efficiency trend that was established with 1-4) 10/tic refresh outside of Abyssea would have been completely unheard of a year ago, and I can distinctly remember how amazed I was to get 5/tic refresh in Abyssea from my first atma (Full Moon, or atma of the Heavens at the time).

Unless you're soloing/ manaburning when can you even cast enough spells to run through that much refresh and not grab hate from the tank? Usually on anything more difficult to kill than an exp mob I have to watch for things to stun and be careful about overnuking while the timer is burning down for the sake of enmity, not mp.
