    Someone doesn't party on strong monsters enough.

    The TP moves make all the difference, hell even in XI the base stats were never really the problem some monsters are just more troublesome than others. I mean who would volunteer to fight something like...

    Let's say Moles for SP?

    Moles have a nasty habbit of around 20% health always using a abillity that makes them dissapear and resist death until the move is finished. Imps resist death while casting Impish incatation as well, like XI many monsters in XIV will be "Optimal" for fighting due to easy to deal with AOE's or easy to deal with effects. Who wants to fight a monster that has the potential to put "Slow" on them, or sleep their entire group, or petrify anyone of a certain rank.

    In XIV you will be stuck grinding _____ because it's easier than something else for the entirety of the game.

    Why? There were TONS of other viable pt area, esp with [s], toau areas, MMM and on and on. I only pt in the dunes 12-19 and qufim 19-26ish max then moved on to higher camps. Not only was exp per hr fantastic in other areas but it helped ur skills from getting gimped. If you stayed in qufim to 75 you really needed to explore more.

    Because in XI we had this weird practice of putting up a seeking party flag and taking the first invite we got? Hopefully this won't be the case for XIV, though. Like I said earlier, I'm not against Level Sync totally, I just don't think we need it for a long time--let alone ASAP.

    We wouldnt even bother to invite someone 30+ to a lvl 20 pt and no one ever really did since the answer was 'no thanks' 90% of the time. Maybe its a by server thing but if you were lvl 65 and lvling in qufim u were kindda looked down on as a gimpy noob by the majority. imo the only jobs that had to take what they could get were jobs like pup, cor, blu and thf since ppl generally didnt invite them. Other jobs like brd pld rdm sam and so on you had to hide info or get invites with no flag up so u could be esp picky

    Level 20 party, no. But if it was a party on ladybugs/colibri in East Ronfaure [S]? Hell yes, we'd invite everyone up to 74, and sometimes 75. And more often than not, they'd take it. The whole bit about some spots being better than others--no one said that the lowest spots were better than others.

    Ok, u never would have gotten a 74-75 in er[s] camps on my server lol, no one after 45 would really take them unless they were helping a friend or desperate lol they would move on to faster higher lvl kill camps so as not to have to go back and skill later. Imps, Colibri, Puks and what not from 40-65. In the high 60s-70s we would be killing beastman and other high lvl mobs in places like Mamook or Mount Zhayolm and exp per hr was always great and by the time we capped exp at 75 our skills were usually capped as well.

    must just be a by server thing
