just to clarify things. Everything in this thread was completely intended from the start, except that i expected about 10 people to start the thread off accusing me of trolling. It was a LOT more successful than i imagined it and I'm honestly surprised because every line -does- ooze sarcasm.. Not only that but i actually link to a post where I'm arguing the -complete- opposite point....

If you really need to be sure, you can click my name and look at my past threads and posts. I raged about how instanced airship rides ruined immersion and how instant teleportation easymoded the game..... That should be a pretty obvious hint as to my real beliefs.

so for clarification: I Have never, and i will -never- support instant leveling, mass-powerleveling, or anything similar. I think FFXI had the balance right for the first 6ish years, where you had to actually invest time into getting a job to endgame.
