I'd have to agree with DJ, Rare simply said he was frustrated at not getting anywhere. The point is to get somewhere you have to play how the game is played now not in 2006. Parties at level 35 - 70 just don;t exist you either level sync, Abyssea or solo no other real options. The gear for the levels is done in the blink of an eye and with signet changes average gear is fine. Mob xp for eaxmple in the jungle with bands we made over 1k per kill getting ready for Aby on MNK, instead of months use you'll get 2 days from mid range gear. Cool to shoot for it but not worth putting the game on hold for, the voyager for example is essnetially now storage -1.
The game is much more casual now, for 3 years I was SoU camping alsorts and we killed almost every HNM in the game (everyithng but AV and PW I think). Now gearing is simple most of the stuff I camped for years is now 2nd tier gear and AF3 rules. Don't get me wrong still takes a modicum of effort and skill but its not the game it was. Solo skill is still good to have and I've done a lot but why make it hard. Back in the day I soloed sky gods I'm not going to do that now!
The BCs do still run and you can make big gil easily now from them but gil is used for so little now, think I have about 3 million sat on me about the same as when I came back.
