FFXI ZM,CoP= LVs1-75 time consuming, comradrie building, interesting enough to be self motivating. AF and Relic brought a sense of uniqueness and thrill.
FFXI ToaU, WotG = Lvs1-75 still somewhat time consuming, by now lv sync has become the primary mode of levelling (qufim island, east ron {s}) people are whiners and skilless. Colibri are endangered. Blu become blu addicts, dnc get made fun of but solo kings, bst been afk killing w/e since 2003, ppl still bored with excelling.
/wait a few years
FFXI Abyssea+ = lvs75-99 even less of a challenge than lv sync. AF and Relic no longer have mystique, maybe 2 piece in each set still useful. Worn out ws's get crit bonuses, game structure tossed and stretched like pizza dough.
Think many people don't have a good skill set for your playstyle? Don't play with them.
Seriously. Sometimes, you're going to not like something you see, but pretty much, if you surround yourself with friendly people who play in a way you like, wtf does it matter?
@op it must have been so hard getting that +2 empy stuffs from abyssea. I know it had to be hard with it being so horrible, and all the players being HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. I salute you for evidently sucking it up and soloing it all. Continuing to pay and play something you think is burnt to a crisp shows your class and dedication.
*golf clap*
<3 seeing rng in PJ w/ 95 Yoichi and 5/5 af3+1 Cefirot ftw!
I personally think the +1s are harder to obtain than the +2s =(. I have like 13 pieces of gear that I have the +2 items for, but can't use them because I don't have the +1s.
hey if you liked the good old days when 20k exp/hr was kick *** then that is your thing no one can knock you. i, for one, absolutely *** loathe leveling. i have never burned any job (barring the good old vunkerl blm pet burn parties where i stayed with blm 'til around 70) its just not for me, but im glad the process has gotten faster because leveling to me is the ultimate pits.
i am totally looking forward to some of the new content like the new nyzul stages which looks to be set up for small groups again. i really enjoy the events where you dont need massive amounts of people. And im glad some of the old content was revamped to make this happen. i think the quality of play has a diminishing margin proportionate to the amount of poeple needed to do any given event.
