You would not have liked FF XI back in it's classic days. That would be more like, No logs at all, killing 180 things would get you, maybe, 1/10 of one level.

Not sure if your doing it already but weekly challenge logs is a good way to get good exp in there. Just do the challenge logs each week and you'll LVL over time.
I quit 11 pretty fast. I think I made it to 20ish around there. At first, I quit it outright, but all my friends were playing it at the time, and I'm like oil and water when it comes to 11 fans. They hate my guts because I'm just honest about the whole process. I stand by it, but if I hadn't played better mmos, I would've stuck with 11. It's because I had played better, mmos I could see how bad it was.
XP comes quite fast. Maybe other data centres are just better at spawning. The items just needed for a weapon upgrade are fairly easy. I breezed to the end. It didn't even seem to take that much time. Since you get the two easy exploit spots.
But worried content like this will lead everyone who needs it to funnel to one data centre. If that becomes the case they will have reevaluate travel and what it does to worlds.
Hate to be that person, but what WoW? Just checked WoW is way too late to be a pre 11 game. So Leaves EQ, DAOC, and UO were a lot of work and can't think of any else pre 11 games.
It's dead on mine. I tried going over to Crystal, but everyone kinda knows what they have to do, so my newbie questions I could tell were bothering people. I need a more kinda chill world group. One that's ok with me not knowing every single nuance about Eureka. It's so off-putting.
I played 11 on the xbox 360. So it was a lot of other games like Wow, GW1 and GW2 etc. Ones that aren't barely able to kill level 1 and wait for a minute to repeat the process. Again, had I been ignorant of mmos, I would've just played it, and honestly, I still would've complained because it sucked, but I would've played it way longer than I did.
Strange most instances people are quite helpful and casual talking. It isn't all jokes, but it isn't some sacred zone. I am not a Mr. Happy person he just feels off. But I did watch his zone videos and found an offline map I could have on second screen as you need the info. Also helps if you just wanted to do challenge log since maps have info for what to grab quick and leave. Hope it gets better for you.
It's all a matter of your own opinion. You'll find just as many or more people that will tell you that your "better MMO's" are hot garbage compared to FFXI. FFXI was an MMO that essentially penalized people for being stupid and/or lazy as those types of people would struggle to gain any progress. And penalized them further if they were also the type that refuse to ask questions or ask for help.
I can really only tell you what I experienced while doing it. I have a bad habit of purging my brain of useless information so whenever I take long breaks I forget most things so maybe they were offended by my easy to awnser questions, but I already have trouble learning new things because of my learning disabilities, but when people are jerks back to me it really doesn't help.
I play games to have fun. If it's not fun, I don't play them. If I wanted to play a game that penalized me, I would play a Soulslike game. At the end of the day, if what I'm doing isn't fun, I'm not going to keep doing it. In real life, I get paid for that, and it's called a job.
