History repeats itself: Time for the Great Archer Nerf of 2011

I think they need to buff mobs up a lot. If I am R30 and the Mob is R30 that should be an even match that can go either way 10 ranks above and it should be impossible alone.

the level of the mob is just a number, the fact is, what you consider an even match is probably 5 levels higher than you, i wouldnt want them to change this because you know how much exp a monster the same level as you gives? like uhhhh 60 exp? maybe 80? you gonna solo your way to 80k exp on that?
Also ffxis system was a lie, for 90% of the game even match meant certain death, decent challenge meant likely death, and easy prey was 50 50. a few jobs could do even matches, after they buffed jobs signifigantly, and at the end of the day that knock out drag out fight was worth 100 exp, wtf.

basically they planned for you to fight mobs higher than you, you were never supposed to see the level so it wasnt really relevant, mobs that conned even match (yellow) were in fact like 6 levels higher than you probably. Its more important for exp determination than you versus them, that the difference in level be as it is.

And by making an even match an actual even match they could alter SP/EXP give even match 200 and incredibly tough 500, problem solved

your on my server, i think you made the first tortoishell hora+1 for me, and HEeeeellll no i didnt do that 80 exp shiot. When i soloed, i looked for greens and yellows, i got like 100-300 sp solo, it took awhile, but 80 was just too low. But in parties? man i caked up, we were getting like 500 per kill, and killing fast, against mobs that could wipe us all if we played wrong, living on the edge for the mages cures to hit us after super weapon skills, or mass chaining puks and trying to dodge the aoes without killing the mages, because even the fast kill stuff was dangerous.

Oh yeah and setting the leves on difficult and sometimes getting owned, but when you found the right difficulty, exp was super cake.
course i stopped when they changed sp, because i quickly realized the first day, that i got as much or more killing coblyn than fighting for my life versus a wolf, and it wasnt even that much exp.
