The only people it would necessarily benefit are those that overdamage existing monsters, and that would almost certainly be Archmages. The EXP/HP ratio for the monsters is blah compared to Skeles, and the spawn is widely spread apart. Skeles and newties are also snipeable and done so far more conveniently. Time Temple monsters, on the other hand, are spread apart, which always reduces EXP/Hr. I think the same people that have been anticipating this release are the ones that were making threads daily about Ghost Tow--- I mean Showa and how it HAD to be released because it was just.that.godly. Lol.
There are teleports between the platfoms. Time Temple was the first area designed with 4th job skills in mind. You can't spam ultimates in one place and hit everything, but you can move back and forth fairly quickly. Higher HP and EXP also means less moving around required. It's not all about exp ratio. If I 2hko Skeles for 4500 exp and 3hko Captains of Oblivion for 7k, I'm going to want to kill Captains.
Showa came out with a nerfed Armory, and we had higher level spots already. Time Temple isn't the same deal.
