being in a party in this game is a joke, am talking from a 6 years FFXI experience and talking before the level sync era.
Jobs are so unbalanced, roles in a party are so mixed between eachother, a mage class should heal and spam stone skin period doesn't matter which mage calss if they do anything else it wouldnt even affect the xp/hr which is the only proof of being experienced/skilled player. A tank should aoe provoke and pull fast period, a DD should aoe their best weaponskill period. What the hell are you guys talking about? With that being said, adding to that we are intellegent enough to do those things in a pt... Where is this learning process you are talking about? Only challenge I've seen is trying to silence a damn mage class monster and if it sticks how long does it last? Do you see the point?

So untill this unbalanced joke of a party/battle mechanics is fixed, i welcome PL if you are on my server /tell to make a deal.

Now does PL look that bad?
