Most of them went back to FFXI or WoW. So when virtually all the people from a server first linkshell quit, yes there's a problem with the game.

This does need a dev tag because it needs to be read by a dev because its a problem with the game. Using the features in the game progression is just way too slow by today's MMO standards.



Sure maybe being in a party would result in faster kills and more exp just like in FFXI, not arguing with that. However there wasn't any people on the game to do these with. I am not talking about people in a linkshell since mine is empty but random people. I saw 0 people by the Nophica's Wells crystal and about 3 AFK people who were in the Nanawa Mines camp. There wasn't any other way to do these but on 1 star and even then they are pretty hard because a gladiator doesn't pull the highest damage by any means, and I am rank 28 and it says they are for rank 30. 2 star or above would result in me getting killed very fast, I still died a couple times on 1 star. Even on 1 star the imps can hit me for 80% of my HP with their special attack.

I am using the resources and people available in the game at the time I was playing to the best of my ability and my experience was not good which is why I am hope a dev reads this. There needs to be adjustments because people will have times they log on and see nobody in their level range doing these quests and have no choice but to solo them. SE wanted this game to be easier and more friendly to people trying to start out but it really isn't and they really need to lower the sp and exp curve.

Zumi,

What you did in XI does not carry over to hear its a different game with different systems. For nanawa mines in 1 Leve solo I can do about 3k SP and that's not the good ones like adamantice and the other I forgot its name. As well At nophica the least rewarding leve i've seen solo with the appropriate difficulty and GA I never get less than 5k sp. levin shower solo you can get 8-12k sp in less than 30minutes.

With the new sp system and stats being changed on how its distributed there is now way you less then 1700 sp for 4 leve's. No offence but this seems very troll like . . . . . Most leve's I can do even solo and get at least a full level from with GA. Right now the amount of SP handed out is very much easy mode, and I'm sorry to say but you are playing the game wrong or on to easy of a difficulty level.
