Right because there are places lvl 74s go to level in vinalla FFXI areas.

Dont be a jack ass, you know the levels I mean. Its almost possible to skip vinalla areas completly. Not to mention after what? 50? You never go back to them. Well for leveling atleast.

How many people do you know that do not have a char over lvl 50? None? I know I dont. Its not like troves of new players are getting into this game either. If all this is is low level crap, about 3 people will get use out of it. This isnt an answer for low levels to finally have content because every low lvl either quit the game, or is level 75.

The game has become a lvl 75 playground. This is what happens when MMOs get old. Its it that crazy that the mass populous of the game wants content they can use? "No guys sorry!! There are still 2 people who dont have their sub jobs! We need to help them!!!"

Yeah, like said, if you do endgame you won't meet those new players there. Recently 3 of my RL friends started playing and I joined a social LS with them, it's full of people that need help with rank3 subjob and so on. The trial is a big thing, and if we want to keep them playing this is what we need; just focusing on one part of the game is not healthy, even if it's for majority of playerbase. It's not 99% 75, 1% rest. And it's not like we haven't focused the endgame part of the game for the past what, 2-3 years? It is not unreasonable to give something for the low level peeps, because believe me this isn't going to waste, and I am quite sure will help the overall game more than Mythic Weapons ever will. THAT is the real content for .01% of the playerbase.

The thing I like about this is it might entice high level players to help lower level players with stuff that they practically have to beg for.

Example 1: Lv 51 PLD needs help with AF. Lv 75 doesn't feel like helping cause there's nothing in it for them. But the coffer is in Beadeux, where it's still pre-expansion, and has a possibility to drop caskets now that could possibly contain high level gear that's somewhat decent. Now the Lv 75 doesn't mind helping cause there's more to it than just 37 gil from each Quad killed.

Example 2: Lv 34 player needs a healer for their pt and asks the only lvl 75 RDM around to pt. Lv 75 doesn't feel like it cause they hate exping/meriting that low, even with level sync. But oh, wait, there's now caskets that could possibly drop if they exp in garlaige together. Lv 75 RDM now has incentive to go exp with the little guys.

I think it's pretty neat to add this. Although, somehow I can't shake this feeling that this is SE's way of helping people to be less gimp and get less guff for it in pts later on. You ever catch people between 10-45 with terrible or no gear? People get nasty about it. Leveling with this SE is practically handing out (hopefully) good gear to players to help them along, too. Also, temporary items that show up will help boost parties' leveling speed/efficiency as well.

There were people complaining about the neglect of low level content. Now, there are people complaining that there is going to be low level content. Are you really that miserable?

This looks good. I'm glad they're adding it.

Does anyone else find the irony of this guy staying in the FFXI forums, despite disliking it, and then talking about how great WoW is, hilarious?

Delicious irony is delicious.

im sorry i can get carried away im sorry! lol

ok ffxi isnt a bad game at all! i played it myself for a long time ! the game just made me angry after so long. both have their ups and downs. its kind of like when you overlook bad things about some one until you are not friends any more and basicaly all that stuff is painfully clear .

The only thing I'm curious about is, does the mob have to be Easy Prey or higher for caskets to drop?
