Guys, i think the REAL point, besides the fact that non-pl's can be fun and just as rewarding, if you want is THIS
Lux is absolutely correct in this at least, what is there to do at lower levels besides leves and toto-rak? not a damn thing, hell even toto-rak is just a GC seal farm as it stands now. like say for instance DH was a lvl 30 instance as well at toto-rak, or if they would have just made more lower level interest in general we'd not have this discussion/argument now. like for instance i'm gridanian in game right...let's see...tam-tara deepcroft and the mun-tuy cellars could have been perfect places besides toto-rak to put 60 minute low level dungeons if toto-rak is min 25, you could have made tam-tara say like min 15ish maybe and mun-tuy maybe 35? it would have gave people plenty of reason to go besides the moogles. (which at this point is the only reason some people even bother with the maze that is the shroud)
In thanalan as well they could done this with copperbell and nanawa, in fact what real reason was there to go to either silver or golden bazzar until they put an AF quest or the achievement unlock? They could have made those opening points to low level instances, put some type of starting quest in ul'dah.."there's a secret cave entrance in the golden bazzar...investigate secrets of an old underground ruin..." yadda yadda. i could go on but my point is..there is even on this STILL copy-pasted map, plenty of places they could have put instanced spots...even coerthas is just about empty except for natalan, DH and AV no?
the fact is, they put everything in for 45+ ...then when people pissed and moaned about the grind instead of making the grind more enjoyable by adding more low level things to do/farm/pt on, they behaved like a good drug dealer and just threw the pl crack and had half the game population smoking at the pipe ever since. i do not pl, i have said that before, i don't fault those who do...i do not attack those who do...i see no need, i just go on a person by person basis for the pt's i'm in, i have had good and bad but my point is...THE GAME implemented it...yoshi-p pretty much gave his seal of approval, campaigning on the abolishment or boycott of it is futile when the people in charge will not put any low level treats for the players.
I understand Zaaku all too well, and i do applaud his efforts, but i am also a realist. the reality, is they are pushing all the chips to the center of the table for 2.0, and little else is going to make a difference or matter until then, even the stuff they DID promise has gotten pused back a bit, yes they make up for it by offering that legacy and welcome back campaign, but the fact is, leveling isn't high on the list. so, do like i do...level at a pace you want, level your favorite classes first, and if a person wants to rush by and pl, tip your hat, say good day and just walk the path you want, not the one others try to make you walk.
