Well first off I didn't go from Lv 37~75 on birds alone. There are other mobs that required different tactics and strategy to defeat...

Also, back in the day EXP'ing was actually fun.

- The WAR had to provoke and line up with the NIN so the THF could SATA.
- The NIN had to focus and keep those shadows up so the WHM isn't cure spamming and getting hate.
- The BLM had to watch nukes and not do TOO MUCH damage, so the NIN could keep hate.
- The THF had to pull off SATA and know when to go fishing for the next mob so a steady flow of EXP could come in.
- The RDM had to keep dispels up, enfeebles up and refresh on to help out the mages.


THAT is dynamics. That's what I enjoyed about FFXI back in the day.


What FFXI has turned into: Everyone mashes their buttons and spams all their abilities, trying to out damage, out heal, out parse their LS mates, in a non-stop E-Peen competition.
