Actually thats quite false. I played ffxi for seven years, and had seven, seventy fives all legit. (Legit: No astral burns) I solo'd BLM 1-75 BST 1-75 BLU (mostly)1-70 and SMN. Granted it took me longer, but I did. After ffxi introduced zerg parties (I hate/dislike games with this motto) and nubs getting 75 in less then a week and having no idea how to play due to abusing a broken mechanic (much like ffxiv's old leve's) I quit. Abysea/Astral Burns imo were ffxi's downfall. Hard!

On Topic, I love small group grinding parties. Leves and Behest although a option and should remain that way, are terribly boring.
