I agree that cross server allows people to be whiney brats on a wipe or 2, in ff11 if you whined or were being an ass you would get booted and everyone would know who you were and that was the end of your character permanently, it was actually a very good thing, all the good people were max, all the baddies had to make new characters.

My advice, just tough it out a bit more, I said the exact same thing when I hit the story wall at lvl 50.
