Please bring back old leveling up and longer battles!

Problem is too many people now have all their classes to 50 and just from my observation it is making it very difficult for new players. I see alot of new people having problems finding parties because 90% of the people are all higher ranking and of course they want in on the action and fun so if someone offer them a PL of course they are going to want to take it.Maybe they could adjust things on next level cap.

From what I have seen it goes the other way as well you have alot of high end people who leave and when that happens they need players so they level up the lowers to have more people for end game stuff it is a vicious cycle, I have seen alot of new people leave over the lack of parties and feeling left out it happens.

less servers will = less problem

Everything you suggest says so. You either hate the game or the people that play it.

I'm an honest person, I've said MANY TIMES that I ENJOY the game. Theres just a few things that I would like to have changed and it would be perfect, but nothing is perfect, and if these things don't get changed it's not a game breaker for me. All you have to do is try, that's what I'm doing. Whether people like the ideas or not, you still gotta keep trying, maybe that's why you guys think I'm a troll or a hater on the game. I also don't hate anyone on these forums.

As my friends say in rl, I'm a hippie~ ~.^V

Oh guess I never went afk if there was a PL. Never went AFK at all during fights in FFXI.

also, if you wanted skill ups you would participate because of how useful they are.

By participate you mean initiate auto attack then walk away for three minutes?

Yeah no doubt I am sure things will pick up after merge but as of right now that is how I see the situation.

You guys are also fast to say "this sucks, stupid, whatever". Instead of trying to build off the idea, as I said at the end of the OP, would you guys like some type of skill up if you didn't like that idea. As in keep the leveling but add skill ups.

Another dumb topic from Rokien. Who would have guessed?

Sorry my thoughts, feelings, and ideas are dumb, maybe you shouldn't read any more of my threads/posts?

Why add something that detracts from "fun"? Mindlessly raising skills was never a fun concept and ultimately became one of the biggest time sinks in XI. I'm assuming that's what you were going for there anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong.

umm, were saying it sucks because we had it and remember how bad it sucked. SE knew it sucked and changed it. You are not delivering some new concept. You are asking to revert to the old system which sucked.

So you want to change one of the fundamental systems in the game, dramatically affecting the play of everyone in the system, for an aspect you don't even care that strongly about?

With that mind set, lets get rid of leveling because I can't do higher level content at level one and it's a time sync to get to 50 -.-
