Reason to Use Old Areas

[Sesh]

While the lvl cap of Aby is nice at 30 and should stay that way I think SE could apply some abyssean effects to the "outside world"

IMO Non-Aby areas should receive something similar to:

Some form of atma system (not as strong but something intelligently implemented by SE)

Re-spawning of mobs should be equal to aby re-spawn rate

And maybe at least take a look at chains outside of aby and adjust to SEs liking. 1k XP for a chain 4 or so on colibri w/e would make some of the ppl who don't like aby feel like their time is being put to decent use.

Also they said that pretty soon they're looking at using a lot of synergy to upgrade equip, so who knows all that usukane you have layin around in your MH may turn out to be pretty sexy by the time we hit 99.

Lastly everyone who approves or disapproves of Abyssea and the current state of the game atm. Remember we're only level 90 (while many may say very unlikely) when 99 finally rolls around SE might unleash a juggernaut of content on all of Vana'diel. For all of the ppl that still want to play in the old zones you may just have to wait until 99 to see how SE fits everything together.

People don't seem to realize one thing: If you tell people they can't leech in abyssea- do you tihnk they're really going to go back to 7 years ago and making carefully balanced parties to level up with? No. They're just going to go find the next fastest/easiest method and use that. Even if you restrict abyssea, you're not going to see a resurgance in typical parties EXPing all over the game world. People will just sync to E.Ron S colibri, do summoner burns, or MMM. It's not going to result in smarter players or people fighting stuff in every area of the game again.

You mean they're going to do what they were doing before Abyssea came out!? You mean it won't make people start leveling the (super) old-school way!?

Wish other people could see this. =/

Where people this mad when Moon and sky became trash for exp when ToAU came out.

While ToAU did get boring after a while (the EXP was great at the time and that's the only place anyone wanted to go past level 60 or so), it was hardly the same because ToAU was still normal PT's just with faster EXP 60+. It also didn't kill the entire experience of leveling a job.

Really engage WS put up shadows rise repeat, some experience. Leveling for the most part been mindless once players found chianning Ts VTs as fast as you can was better then SC MB IT++s. Least with alli leveling you one or 2 people leave it doesnt slow down the party and not finding a brd+rdm meant no party.

Syncing to 37 is still not learning anything bout the job, skills will still be gimp and killing the same little pink birds. The other camps is same thing with out little pink birds.

my main is a 59 blue and tbh its hell finding a party most the time even when im forming i normally see Abby can i have it leech do you need it? i do believe there should be a cap on abby.

I see your point, however it is still more active then leeching in abyssea and you are teaching people to look outside the box sort of speak. at that level you can get drks use acid bolts and use GA for the evade/ def down ( w/e it was)

so you are still incurging battle tatics and cooperation. I was also making a point that you can get fast exp before abyssea.

In 2 months from leveling in low areas like that (qufim iland, yhoator jungle and yuhtenga jungle I got more exp in those few months then the past 3 or 4 years ( forgot exact date for the time).

I do admit it was easier for me to get away with since I had a lot of skilled leveled from my other jobs. you are faced with skilling up yes but you are faced with that problem with abyssea anyway.

my main point was just showing you could get fast exp without the need of abyssea so i do not understand "you need to be able to get fast exp to have lots of jobs for abyssea"

Hate to break it to you blus wern't invited to partys before abysea. I soloed blu with my flag up from 55 to 75 long before abyssea was realsed. Think most of it was due to lazy rdm that didnt want to do more then cure cause when they seen a blu asking them if they wanted a pary they hit no thanks rather fast.
