I have never heard something so ridiculous.
Sneer all you want, my buddy and his wife HATED how mob placement and aggro rules for them was set in TAU zones. After losing a whole level dying while trying to get to an imp camp, my buddy threw in the towel and decided to go back to soling mobs on the main continent (he played a SMN). They, just like everyone else, paid for the damn expansion and in the end did not get their money's worth.

Yes, my friend was the kind of guy that could get lost in a hallway on /follow, but he knew how to play the game where it mattered.

Exploration as per 1.0 was fine. Exploration in FFXI required consumables and precipitated dickish moves from the developers in a (poor) attempt to create challenge.

Dude, if I can be frank for one moment, I HATE the materia system because of the fact it is Lineage II's enchant system but with harsher consequences upon failure. Not everyone loves the materia system. It's just that it's too late for anything to be done about it.
