Bring back the days of leveling up parties

[maestroanth]

I miss the days back in ffxi when we used to form 6 man parties and level up by chaining mobs out in the environment. I think that has a lot of advantages:
Making friends, getting to know how to play ur class properly, also players needed to be well geared and fed to play effectively which will put more emphasis I guess on acquiring the low level cafted gear.
I haven't come across anyone who had tried that formation here, anyone with any experience on this??
What does everyone think?

I hated these days of Everquest TBH. WoW cured this thank God.
