I skimped out on the initial /sh action people were doing in WG shortly after the update, and slowly growing tired of wasting time and stones on quests that may not even net me seals I require.
As far as my experience in Abyssea goes, I have 2x Atma, 12 hour stone cooldown, and I kill things dead. I have Caller's Horn +1, and NQ Legs and Feet for it, which I want to at least +1 both of, or possibly +2 them. I'd also like to work on BLM and DNC gear, and possibly work on RDM Legs as well down the road.
I also have a good spread of jobs that everyone likes, just not really merits in them, outside of the ones I listed above on wanting to gear.
Edit: Ack, didn't realize it cut off the recruiting part. I'm sorry if there's any confusion due to that ><;
