EXP Parties as an option please!

[Sapphic]

FFXI purists do not like the fact you run around to do fates and you don't need have to have a balanced party to exp.

It's still the same inregards to jobs in FFXI, before May it was stack THFs and after job changes in May update it's back to stacking SAM for DPS. FFXI is the worst system to hold up as a model for balance. As most jobs are ignored for the FOTM jobs, as everyone wants the path of least resistence. Even many of the "FFXI purists" ignore that aspect. Also what parties where killing dictated what jobs they took do to mob strengths and weaknesses to different damge types/elements. Which alienated jobs also.

Many jobs where forced to xp solo on things like mob pets/summons because they, simply, weren't wanted.

But fortunatelly they learnt from past mistakes and all jobs are viable in 14 for all content. No more, "sorry, you can't do this content as DRG as it is strong to piercing, but don't worry we will kick the other DPS for the next boss as it is weak to piercing and immune to crushing damage"
