Why bother SE?!?

[Rokien]

Why bother with low-mid level gear, don't waist your time on nonsense stuff. Don't bother yourself with low-mid level content, there is no point in it. Why bother with stuff that people will never use. Why would they use something that they will get rid of in an hour or two of leveling up. Why would someone play low level content when they will be too high for it in a few hours anyways(just run through everything). Just keep on making instances at level 50 that's all we want! We don't care about that other crap. Whats fun evolving with your character watching em grow as you grow in skill. Hmmm? Soo, again why bother? /sarcasm

I'm not expecting anyone to read this(I've learned that already). I just wanted to say that leveling is fast, too fast. Now, I know TONS of people are against this(slowing down leveling) but at the rate you level there really is no point in getting gear until you are 40ish. I am just wondering how you are going to make lower levels count more, because really that's half the fun of it! Getting to 50 that is(at least your first 50 for most). I wanna stay in an instance all day! That is uber fun!
Let me ask all the people who have most classes 50, do you enjoy it that much? I mean what is there for you to do now? Get weapons? Ya it's cool that you can be like
"HEY! I can go on any class, what ya need?"
I guess I just loved the progression FFXI had like no other mmo does. They had content for you to do through out the whole game(1-75). Gear actually mattered, if you bought a piece of gear it was going to last you. Don't let me get started on COP at level 30 >.>.
IDK what could SE do to make lower levels count more, because that's the only thing I can think of, is slowing down leveling.
Please leave all your hate, comments, ideas below!

PS: sorry for another thread ; ;

Side note: I'm not saying make this game into ffxi, I don't want that! I think for this day and age the leveling of FFXI is a wee bit slow, I just liked how things mattered in ffxi. I just wanna try to address this issue. It also hurts crafters when they cant sell their stuff that they made, or there is nothing to buy in the MW, because of that issue.

This is a problem with the players. Not with SE.

[Rokien]

Well, ya, players asked for it

lol at OP (yes that is all I am saying)

One thing I would like to see is more sets of gear that are average stats but easy to obtain (maybe sold by npc for not a high cost) for lower levels, below 45 plus an option to store them with npc. (also make sets all same level, no point having a silver-cap at lv 7 and silver-body armour at lv 5)

I'm sure you could have posted in one of the other topics on this subject. Your comment doesn't warrant its own topic.

[Rokien]

All topics are comments and opinions.

at least it's not another goodbye thread

First of all... IMO armor still needs clean up. The MW categories are just... Rediculous. When I started playing, I could even tell what armor was what. Even with dyed armor being fixed. something I like from xi was how uniform the armor was, you could tell by looking at the jobs on it's what it is right away (light, heavy, ect)
Now what would be great if they fixed MW catagories, I mean Christ we have categories that don't even have items being sold in cuz they may or may not exist. But that's not just it. What makes armor more valuable to lower levels is EASY ACCESS to it. right now if you want low level armor you gotta buy it or stumble upon it by happenstance. Things that don't come as good to new players. What we need is or low level armors to be doled out in quest rewards more often and also quests that are linked to each other so there is continuity in finding new armor. This would also decrease the value of those items on the MW so that they arent so god damned expensive and ridiculously priced. So that newbies can sell of the old armor from questing and learn the basics of the MW. Yeah... It's all connected.

No thanks.

Can you expand on that thought?
