We Need that Feeling back of "CoP"(first release)

I think most of you are missing the point why some of us don't like COP, why didn't SE make COP lvl 75 content instead of starting at 30? Why let me lvl my jobs to 75 if I cann't use my max lvl? COP should have been lvl 75 content from start then maybe I wouldn't hate it so much.

Isn't that obvious ..?

The didn't want to make all the content end game, they wanted to provide mid level content and something to work towards for new and mid ranged players.

When CoP came out many people still didn't have lvl 75 characters.

Because they were smart to allow people who weren't 75 to enjoy a good story and expansion pack. Though I'm sure you were being sarcastic anyway.

For a story line as long as CoP I think SE made he right choice to implement level caps. You can only make so many cap level fights before they all become generic. Also it provided content for those who weren't at cap, breaking up the grind in FFXI.

I went through CoP pretty much as I leveled, grinding pt's in order to keep up with my static and loosing a lot of sleep lol...but it was nice because it was almost like I was watching my character grow. I don't know why CoP in particular invokes so much passion in ex FFXI players, maybe it was the allure of seeing one of the most beautiful crafted areas in the game, maybe it was the fact that it forced you to become close to those who faced the journey with you, maybe it was just the simple pursuit of loot at the end, but it all felt very rewarding.

I'd love to see another CoP style mission line, but I fear we may never see it. From what I'm getting from FFXIV, it doesn't particularly force a close community and I don't really see that in the future.
