How does PL'ing affect you?

[zaviermhigo]

Pl'ing is dying a little bit. Someone just told me the other day he shouted for a party...no parties...shouted for a pl....no one answered...he just wanted to level in some form at this point....went afk...and bam a party invite, a real full party 8/8.

So the moral here is, if you're looking for a party can't find one and then shout for pl, maybe you should just wait instead of shouting for pl and in a sec maybe someone will be like "you know what crap i need to level lemme start a party" or take the initiative and start a party yourself. Because I've done that, its not hard, in XI half the problem was no one wanted to take initiative or be a party leader or invite people. Take that initiative, don't just cop out to pay someone gil for pl, partying is free...besides repair cost lol

IMO if you have every battle class 50 you're still useless, and you better have a killer way to make gil since you will now have to find crafters to put materia on your gear and such. Leveling up a craft after a 50 or 2 is way more useful. Until they find a way to pl crafts I am not threatened by these gimp 50s. Many of them don't even gather or craft, and thus must rely on people to affix materia on them. Most of them are really lame looking on their lodestone page too having bought all the wrong guildmark abilities and such since no one told them, it is so sad-funny,
