your thoughts, pleaseFollow

Noji I truly inderstand your fear of people passing you by if you tone it down a bit and take breaks here and there. But this is may be another way to look at it, although you may have friends who levely more quickly than you do they are still your friends correct, so if you take your time and level at your own pace this may give you the chance to meet even more people.

I for one have had this happen to me in fact I think you and I partied once in the Citadel awhile back and I am only 55 where as you are in or nearing the 60's I'm sorry I don't remember from your original post exactly what leve you said you were. I am not against leveling at all and feel like sometimes thats all I do.

But as of late I have been taking some time to just help out the LS, explore, and just have some fun. This is a game and we pay for it so we should be able to do whatever we want in it to have fun.

So I guess my point is do whatever you feel is right if you feel like your in a rush to level and absolutely need 75 and you feel like your playing keep up which is what is kind of sounds like to me, you probably could use a break. Go out goof off and have some fun. Maybe some of those people will go with you and you won't fall behind but have some really good fun together and thats what friends and gaming together is about.

But this is just my opinion and I could be wrong hope I helped a little. Take Care.

Noj,

I have been playing since the PS2 release - March 2004. And what have I accomplished since then?

RDM Full AF

RDM 61 / BLM 48 / WHM 39 / BST 20 / WAR 11 / THF 11 / MNK 7
Unlocked SAM, NIN, RNG, SMN.

As you can see, you are lvling quickly, aside from people playing 4-5 hrs a day 6-7 days a week.

Spent 3 Weeks trying to get a limit 1 party / 2 weeks trying to find a limit 2 party.

Well my LS has finally grown up with 6+ in the high 50's low 60's and a few in the 70's. Now we are planning on doing lots of other activities together.

I don't think you need to worry about people passing you. I remember back in the day when Raineer and I were of the same lvl :) Now look he is a lvl 72. Congrats Raineer.

Latta on Siren

Heh - I feel like 56-61 in a month was fast! I guess it's because I took off about 2 1/2 - 3 months just to farm/mine/craft/make income for buying gear I felt I needed to be effective in a party.

You're a good person, as I witnessed from your help with 5-1. Thanks again for that. Level at your own pace - don't worry about your friends. Most of my friends I've made are never at the same level as I am. The ones that are lower allow me the joy of helping out a friend. The ones that are higher allow me the joy of bugging them for help, =).
