no offense, but theyve had it for a year and obviously it isnt working because people arent playing.. why would they want everyone to be able to run around in lvl 1 gear.. a lot of people would. I think it makes it more interesting and gives people things to look forward to besides just the level. I dont understand why you would want to run around in level 1 gear when you can be running around in level 50 gear, and in XI you could have as many jobs as you wanted on one character...
