Raise the Minimum Requirement for entering Abyssea to Lv70 or 75

[Romanova]

So having a narcissistic/megalomaniac elitist attitude is a requirement for FFXI as well?

= people like panthera who you keep supporting.

This coming from someone who started a thread insisting everyone has to exp in a certain way?

[Greatguardian]

Simple works.

And no. It is not a symptom of narcissism when I parse 75-95% of a full alliance's damage based on what job I'm there on. It doesn't matter if it's Verethragna MNK or Corsair or Paladin or White Mage Melee. If I am doing 51 times more work than any single other person in the group (That's assuming the minimum 75% parse), everyone else there is leeching off me. Period.

Any BG poster or otherwise competent player will be able to share similar stories if they ever ended up in a pickup alliance.

@panthera
Ok, so you admit to being entirely hypocritical in all your remarks, since you cannot possibly live up to the standards you set upon yourself?

Again, nobody is being evasive or cheating by 'leeching', they are simply using mechanics that were placed in the game. If it were an unknown method of gaining exp it would be different, say somehow duping exp. Everybody knows that Abyssea exping can get you to max level in a day. You have to take responsibility for how you perceive the players around you. If it was a small portion of the population taking advantage of an exploit, fine, but that is clearly not the case. There is no deliberate misuse of the system, nor misrepresentation.

So, if a non-abyssea leached player, isnt pulling their weight, have leveled the way you want them to, that doesnt make them a leach even if they arent doing their share?

I have been kicked from pick up exp parties for doing too much damage and killing mobs too fast...

[Neisan_Quetz]

"Evil stop weaponskilling the mobs at low health"
*5 minutes later after Sekka WS WS*
"Evil stop weaponskilling the mob below 50%"

Personally I've been kicked for dealing the second highest damage, but Skeith's Drg who was beating me didn't get kicked

EDIT: Friend got kicked for 'botting exp' while using Masamune because he didn't feel like talking to the Pt which didn't even have a healer in 2 parties and was wiping badly to puks in Vunk. I was literally right next to him laughing my ass off.

Apparently so, because we need to cry like a schoolgirl if people level too fast, because it undermines our own leveling "achievements".

[Ravenmore]

I don't talk in pick up exp either few are worth talking to in the first place.

It seems to me the best excuse any of you can come up with, is incompetence amongst the player base.

Personally I prefer Lv'ing the old fashioned way in groups of 6, because then everyone is required to do their part in order for EXP to flow smoothly. Unlike in Abyssea, where it's possible for 2/3's of the alliance EXP PT do contribute barely anything, while some Super Hero like GG does all the work. Apparently we also need to pay homage to such Super-Hero's by handing them Lv90 jobs for practically nothing.

Not willing to go from 1~75 outside Abyssea, only shows your incompetence to LvUp a Job. Because you can out parse 80% of players who don't even bother contributing, doesn't make you "The Best of The Best", it makes you "The Best of The Worst". It makes you "feel" special, because the simple Abyssean game mechanics are designed that way.
