The reason Abyssea was so hated was because in it you can gain lvls like no tomorrow easlily lvl a lvl 30 job to 99 in 3 days doning nothing and it did not teach people to play their jobs at all much like the lazy players in XIV who get carried thru everything. Having the ability to lvl jobs that fast was a detriment to the endgame because these players who lvld that way never actually played the game in that respect and never worked for anything soon as you were 99 you basically just had to join a farm group for the Emp gear and weapons and you were fine.
