Server wide exp boost planning from Oda should be suffice for Aldebaran spotlight extension voters
besides it only benefits mostly NCT dungeon players , while Geffen spotlight benefit low leveled players in geffen field and homunculus AFK'ers leveling in Orc Dungeon, Glast Heim for both low and mid players and lastly Geffenia mostly for Mid leveled players
Geffen spotlight hasn't affected Orc dungeon for over a year, close to 2 now, because it causes too much server lag due to so many afkbotchemists being there.(yes, i am still certain that a good 50% or more of them are bots because there is no way in hell someone can/will set up their computer and alarm to inform them every hour that their homunc is hungry.) So that area of the spotlight is always out, and Glastheim is considered it's own spotlight area and has been considered it's own area for some time as well.
Don't forget toy factory for TRUE low level players... I remember benefitting a lot from it last time it was spotlighted. It helped me level my AB (who was an aco), my MS (who was a Merch) and my RK who was a swordie then. Also, as people said, Clock Tower is great for leveling "High Level" second/trans class characters. But I can understand people wanting it to change. Just wait one damn week, for god's sake! XDDD!!!
Also, when I came here, with almost no knowledge on renewal and no VIP, it took me 3 weeks and a half to go from level 1 to 99 and transcend. The only help I had was a friend of mine alerting me on Gramps TIs and taking me there "by hand" when I was already level 95 or 96. From there, took me 2 days to get to 99, plus a couple days to finish old BB quests so that I could TI them after transcending, and I did it while gathering info and trying to make some zeny for gears on the way. Also, I had no idea about Blossoms/Webfeet/Huge Leaves at that time, and after that I VIPed and it took me less than 10 days to class 3. A few friends of mine who started with me gave up in the middle, but I believe that they would give up sooner or later, because you can't compare the hurdle in leveling from when you're new to when you are mid level, which also is WAY easier than after you leave gramps range, and so on.
So, whoever is having trouble leveling in low level would benefit more from in-game leveling tips than a spotlight, and that is for sure. These tips can be provided by us, by the way, but I don't remember ever seeing people recruiting for Orc Village or something in game. The parties seem to start in TI, then Nogg. Maybe, just maybe, this is the main reason for new players hurdle, rather than mobs raw exp, but that's just an opinion, not a fact...
yeah I did toy factory(even with vip currently) on the dancer i just got over 85, and she leveled there fairly fast due to the spotlight.
