FFXI Development Team,
I love that you laboured to create two new jobs, including of course Geomancer. I think it's exactly the sort of life that FFXI will benefit from, along with the launch of a new expansion in general.
That said, seriously, please, never, ever make relatively rare items required for the unlocking of [Insert High Demand Thing Here]. It is a horrible, terrible idea. In this case, all it does is force people who may have wanted to play Geomancer to fork over 100-200k to do so.
This is ridiculous. I'm not saying this because I can't afford it; I easily can, as can most other people that I know. I'm saying this because there shouldn't be a barrier like this to playing half of the new jobs which are the first additions in roughly 5 years.
Please, don't do this again =/
