Raise the minimum allowable job level in Abyssea from 30 to 70+

[rog]

This is an MMORPG you should not beable to level a job from 30 to 75 in a day -.-

Why not? I don't see why that is a problem.

i agree totally

tell me why his post is stupid? Leveling was not hard, and hell with the new updates to it, it is even easier, I duoed with an LS mate, and we where level synced to level 11, I went from 42 to 43 in about 20-25 mins. That is not bad at all. We had a PL but they really did not do much since we where 1-2 shooting everything. If the PL was not there I would have said more like 30 mins, and even then, that is not bad.

His post was stupid for a number of reasons:

This game is 8 years old, the content is no longer focused on leveling. Why would you want to make something that should no longer be the main focus of an 8 year old game more time consuming? Why would you want to make something that was not at all in any shape or form enjoyable last longer than it has to? Why would you do the above after having the restrictions of leveling lifted for almost a year now?

Nobody plays this game to level their jobs now. It is a means to an end.

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.] the fact that below level 65ish you're not even halfway done with the exp curve to get to 75. So of course it's going to be somewhat fast.

This is an 8 year old MMORPG and making something that is outdated harder than it needs to be is stupid and redundant. End of discussion.

My example still stands, because before hand it used to take about an hour, to atleast for low levels the EXP time has been but in half. You might not like leveling, but there are many out there that like the path to the end, and not just the end. Yes this game is 8 years old, but that does not mean SE should dumb it down to where there is almost no point in playing it anymore.

i still have fun playing it even with the speed with which u level i now go to abyssea and fight solo most of the time to skill up and hunt items faster xp has not made this game too easy

No it doesn't. EXP parties do not fight EP-DC mobs.

By many you mean few. As the majority of the people posting on this forum or in this thread have disagreed with the OP. EDIT: Nobody is stopping you from leveling the old way. So again, your argument is invalid.

You're still in the mindset that leveling is everything to do in the game, thus without leveling there is no point in playing anymore. Hence why your argument is invalid, because that simply isn't true.

Again leveling from 30 to 75 in a day is horrible in an MMORPG environment, it breeds nothing but laziness.

it is sad how spoiled MMORPG players have been in recent years.......

Explain to me how actively doing something for an entire day to achieve a goal is breeding laziness? I'd say that's being ambitious.

Also, again, 8 year old game, leveling is not the main focus, your arguments are invalid. Stop repeating yourself and go away.

EDIT: Apparently something that takes less than a couple weeks is lazy. Well ***. Why don't we all just stop playing and start working on jigsaw puzzles with 400k pieces.

Does not matter how old the game is, Ultima Online did not do this, EverQuest did not do this, and they are both a good bit older then FFXI. Place a cap on the new zones, and make people do things the right way. The idea of stepping up the level caps is even a better idea, although I would put it at more like 50/60/70.

and really? Not breeding laziness? You stand there and leech EXP, how is that not lazy?

After leveing what is there to do? You can work on AF3+2 which does not really take that much time when looking at how it use to be to get your AF2/gods. Soo what we are left to do is level a job to 90, spend a week getting the skillups needed. Then another 2 weeks of farming to get AF3+2 and you Emp. Weapon. Then your done. You don't need an endgame LS anymore cause what are you going to fight? So all you are stating is that this game is now at it's end and SE can pretty much stop any updates cause everyone is happy with the final result we have.

That is NOT what this game was built for. If you have played this game for the 8+ years most have then you know what we all went through when getting our first lvl 75. You can say no one liked leveling but there was 3 times the amount of people on the servers 7 you could always get a PT invite. now you either pu your flag up to go to abyssea, lvl synch. or just /tell people asking to key whore or leech. WOW that is just sad, the difficulty level of this game is at a 2 now. Maybe the only job that is still fun & they are not able to assist it in any way is Blue Mage. Atleast i still have to get spells the old way or would you prefer just being able to buy those spells as well?

I am having a hard time understanding why people are so in love with just logging online playing for 6 hours & getting a lvl 9 job plus hlaf an Emp. Weapon completed.
