The thing it seems to me so many miss, is u dont have to follow the perfect party formula. Look at whose available and choose your mobs accrodingly. You need a healer, someone with voke and u can kill. Heck i did 3 levels last night with 1 whm, 3 drg, 1 rng and a monk. See no tank, and yes we were doing chain 5s. Granted i have not experienced HL parties yet. Yohater Jungle is as far as i have progressed before starting on advanced jobs. (Level 31) And i have waited hours to get into a party, but that hasnt happened to often. Especially now that i have a Linkshell pearl. Making friends in the game, gives you a pool of players to party with. And makes it even better as you learn excellent teamwork playing with the same players often. And yes there are other places and other mobs to fight. But to do that u often need to make party before u go, as everyone seems follows the trodden path for leveling. When going to alternative areas, you will be highly unlikely to find a party on your own. FFXI is very much about how you play, not just your race and job abilities.
