Yoshi-P / Dev Team please considering adding Abyssea to this game

I did play XI, and Abbysea was a game breaking content that absolutely invalidated every single piece of content other than itself in the game. There is alot of hate from people that played XI from the beginning for that state of affairs, as it literally broke the game from what it was before.

The level cap raise in XI was the straw that broke the camels back and forced alot of people that were considering leaving to finally do so.

I am completely and utterly against adding content like abbyssea here. It would be a nightmare and would complete invalidate the raiding scene. It would be a mindless leveling and gear spree that would no longer require any kind of mechanics.

I agree. This kind of content killed it for a lot of my LS.

I predicted they would eventually raise that cap, told people not to get too comfortable with the level 75 cap and I was proven right.
I think they did it wrong though, they should have adopted a system that kept all the original areas at lvl 75 or below
abyssea should have been a lvl 71+ area from the getgo. it was a mistake even Tanaka appologized for allowing lvl 30 players in there but did nothing to correct it because he feared too many people would leave.

I couldn't do the whole leech level thing. I have too much pride in my accomplishments to do it.

I still have trouble letting go of FFXI but really I would rather they bring different elements from FFXI to FFXIV.
I would love to see them bring in a version of Besieged in an area of say Ishgard that could be instanced like it is in FFXI but stay in the open world. yes that's right Besieged closed off Alzahbi into an instance so you could enter if it was not full but not if it was.
