Hmmm, heard people say that and never understood it in reference to
nothing to do at 60. I do agree it's too easy to level up in, but that
was a casual player concession just as FFXI did with the exp progression
from 50-75 by reducing the amount of exp needed by 50%. At 60 I am
always busy helping guildies/friends in 55-60 instances, doing 20 man
raids on Zul'Gurub, 40 man raids on Blackwing Lair/Molten
Core/Onyxia/World Bosses, working on PvP Rank in Battlegrounds/World
PvP, farming for items, work on professions, or just hanging out talking
to people or RP'ing.

In my year of playing FFXI it wasn't any real difference other than
being harder to level in and forcing you to group (unless BM) to make
any progression after Lvl 15. It honestly felt like EQ ad knocked up an
anime and FFXI was the child. At max level it's the same thing just
running Dynamis, hanging out, farming for items, or tradeskilling. I
have quite a few friends on Caitsith who still play and ask me to come
back and play, but I sold Shao on IGE and never looked back. I love
playing WoW. Only games in the future that have my attention are
Vanguard and Warhammer Online. I will look at the expansion for FFXI as
I have heard good things for it. My Galka Monk was
62mnk/37war/37nin/37thf/18all (all jobs unlocked) so I never saw the
uber high end stuff, but knew many friends in Dynamis LS's.

Long as you are having fun that us all that counts. I'm having a blast
learning how to do the boss fights in Blackwing Lair. Takes a solid team
of people working together to make it happen.
