I don't know why though, because before I left a lot of the lolFP stuff had died down, people were starting to realise we don't suck, and I was literally begged for leech -_- (that stuff was annoying as hell though, and that alone made me not want to train).Well, pretty much, the lolFP stuff still exists. It's just that before you probably don't remember most of it before you left. The most painful memories are repressed. Just these few weeks, my own friend asked me to pap thinking that I was a IL and when I said I was FP, said to me "what can a FP do at pap?" Another person, when I told him I was selling leech at WS, said "LoL you're FP?" And the worst one is that when I was at newties and needed a priest, this priest told me "LOL you're FP, IL please."
Thus, my explanation for a level 200 FP coming out this late is that FP are always insulted, and eventually and gradually, these degradations bring the FP to start over on a new class, or just quit. In a way, this post explains it:

This reminds me once of a documentary on an experiment I saw, in which there were two groups of participants, both which almost the same IQs and test scores. However, while the first group was constantly praised, the second group was insulted and were made to feel uncomfortable.
After a few days of the same treatment, the first group began to perform significantly better on their tests, and the second groups fell behind by a substantial margin. Later, when the groups were switched, the first group degraded and put down and the second group praised, the second group had raised test scores while the first had lowered by almost 50%.
In the same way, the FPs have always been put down, therefore their lost confidence levels caused their performance to drop, while the IL pride allowed a IL to be first to the top of the magician chain.
Now that the IL is overplayed, and uniqueness is stressed, the FP had regained a bit of confidence and grinded there too.
