It makes no sense not to open some Aht Urgan camps. I've been in parties that can pull 38k an hour in KRT and was in multiple 20-28k/hr c.nest basement parties. Blm is already a massive drain on exp parties with tp burn parties around. I can't tell you how many times I've been invited to a party with 5 only to hear the leader say, "Need another melee DD, only a blm seeking, heck that." Last few times I've exp'ed with a BLM it was due to "pity inviting" because the leader didn't wanna wait around for a rng,drk,sam,drg,war to show up. That is currently reality on the server, ask any blm that didn't build their own parties how fast they get parties these days post 60 once melee DD's start unlocking big boom ws's.
You can and have always been able to level at retail Aht Urgan speed the entire time I've been on this server. There is just too many people playing now to not open some of these camps in some form or fashion. People need more options at higher levels, turtles and birds aren't going to cut it. Nobody is running up to ule range, lets be realistic about that.
Preach. I haven't done a lot of mid-level exp here since coming back, but I remember before the sync changes people were blasting through like 35k+/hour in KRT. I don't remember retail very well, but I'd be shocked if Colibri were much better than that. It's probably a wash.
Treasures of Aht Urghan wasn't very well balanced for xp, and I think Square probably knew that, but since each "type" of job had its own niche, they never bothered to do anything about it because everybody was happy. As long as nobody is left on the sidelines, that's an ideal world. And it wasn't like people weren't partying for that content, with the exception of Quiqirn people were playing in groups during that era even for mana burns.
