lol fun grind pts in ffxi, where you star in same place for hour and kill same mobs for hours, the battle was very very slow
and party setup???
why you need lvling "special" DD??? where all dd suppose doing same damage???
really let die old ffxi and enjoy with new things
What a stupid assumption that FFXI players haven't played other games.

FFXI grind parties were a fun way to level when compared to how it is done in every other MMORPG, you did need "special" group setups for different camps so that you could exploit the weaknesses of that mob type. Maybe you "didn't get it", and great for you there are other leveling options being designed.

However most of us realize that leveling 7+ classes=a grind, at least for part of the experience, and as grinds go the party leveling system which allows groups to set their own pace for leveling is the best system. Solo quest grinding (WoW/WoW clones), dynamic "content" (Rift/WAR), I'm sorry but these don't begin to compare. Maybe for those of you who are fooled into thinking you are doing some special form of "content" dozens and dozens of times over again, but many of us prefer a good party system.
