FINAL FANTASY XI Update (May 1st) -- leaked!Follow
Yeah, I kinda feel bad for the higher-level people, but its still good for a chuckle none the less. Rate up if i could.

Mountain climbers get more prestige for conquering harder mountains, and SE just added a bunch of ladders.
This gets my vote for the best analogy that I've seen to describe this situation thus far. I would still submit that SE has been adding ladders since day 1, and that it's not fair to blame future climbers (who didn't ask for the ladders) for actually using them, particularly when those people doing the complaining had their own ladders to help them. Still, mad props and a rate up for framing this discussion in terms other than "omg lost time this suxx0rz lol!"

I find your post humorous and insightful. And to all you nay sayers out there this man is a genius.

But there's nothing about needing 750k EXP from 50-75 that is unfair and in need of fixing.
Fixing? Nah. Adjusting? Sure. Look at the previous announcement again. When they started raising the level cap, they purposely designed it to slow people down and give the higher levels greater influence. Now there are many more high level characters and their influence is minimized, so SE sees no further point in holding others back, so to speak.
You said the XP limit on mobs was "artificial". Well, SE admits that the excessively high TNLs were also "artificial".

That said, is it really so VERY difficult to understand why people might be upset about the EXP changes? It seems like a lot of people are determined to take the stance that it is simply alien and unnatural to be upset when something you worked hard for is made easier for others.
Well, first of all, I apologize for creating yet another top-level post on this subject. This is a joke that I had been discussing with some friends of mine, and I realize that some of it is not exactly in the best taste, but after reading through some of the animosity on many of these threads tonight, I couldn't resist posting it.
Here's the problem. You talk about something you worked hard for being made easier for others. Doesn't anybody remember the September 2004 update? Here's a direct cut-and-paste from the official POL announcement for that update (a real one, not a joke:)
Quote:
The maximum amount of experience that can be earned from a single battle has been increased to 250 for players from level 51-60, and to 300 for players from level 61-75. In accordance with this change, the maximum amount of experience that can be earned during EXP chains has also been increased.
The question I have is this: How many of the people complaining about this latest update were helped out on their road to level 75 by this September 2004 update? Why isn't anybody talking about this? Where is the residual furor over this? If people who reach level 75 after this update aren't "real 75s", then certainly the people who reached level 75 after the September 2004 update aren't "real 75s" either, are they? After all, they didn't have to work as hard as the players who hit 75 before that update.
Rate up best thing someone said of all the things i read and a lot of people got to 75 after the september update fake 75s lol the things people come up with
Rate up. I couldn't agree more. The only flaw is, as a Bard, I'd beat the hell out of them with the violin to help them STFU.
What I don't understand is the prevailing sentiment I hear from the 75's right now that the new 75's won't be as good as the current ones...and that really pisses me off. In all seriousness, a blind monkey, if given enough time, can make it to 75 in FFXI. XP'ing is not difficult, just time consuming. I happen to think of myself as a great blm. Does the lessening on the xp for me to get to 75 make me any less of a blm? Honestly, I can see how the current 75's are perturbed, but to wholesale bash the next generation is just plain wrong. I mean, I know of at least 4 75 lvl people that I would never do a BCNM/CoP with because I know they'd ***** up somehow. So don't automatically diss the new 75's, because I assure so at least some of them are as good or better than you.
rate up i cracked up at the new bard ability
