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.
Damn shame they burned it to a crisp.
