Mixing up the formula - Will Eureaka be the answer?

Abyssea ruined FFXI, took all the skill out of the game. People left the game in droves. Let's hope they don't do that here.

I was under the impression that it had nothing to do with the skill and everything to do with "my time spent leveling is invalidated because it is now easier to level"

If I recall correctly, that was also the expansion that invalidated a lot of the previously established horizontal progression. A lot of people considered obtaining that gear as well as abusing it with the macro system skill, although really it was just looking up a bunch of guides.
