Ask Your Questions for the Mini Letter from the Producer LIVE at TGS!

Rightnow the entire end game economy revoles around Tomes of philosophy and Tome of Mythology. Are yu going to be increasing the method of obtaining these or do you really want players to run Amandor Keepfor hours and hours on end?

Will the trash monsters in these endgame dungeons be adjusted to drop gil or coin pieces even tomes of philosophy on death or will they continue to be a source of armor repairs and nothing more?

With the amount of vendors and gear given away crafting is all but useless until level 70 dropped recipies. is this intentional?

Mining and botany are extremely tedious in their design, is this also intentional?


Samurai, ninja, dark knight. Are they coming?

Are we going to get the option to blacklist people who spam us with RMT advertisements? Currently, I see no option to blacklist players who send me /tells.

(Aion, by NCSoft, has a very good system in place. Every week they do a short maintenance where they tally the total number of blocked players for the last 7 days. Players who have been blocked the most often are usually RMTs, so they are permanently banned. Although, I am sure they do more research into it than just seeing how many people have blocked them).

Hi, to blacklist them for yourself personally just type "\blist add <r>" after they send you a tell. You can also turn it into a macro.

Can we get some chat bubbles? People that don't like them don't have to use them.

I do like this idea, users that don't wish to use them or see them can turn them off in the chat filter options

When can we expect to see a cheat sheet on class and job stats? I would really like to see this before making detrimental errors on the stat point allocation for my jobs.

What plans are there to adjust rewards to be commensurate with time investiture or incentivize players to do them? Specifically, the following:

- Guildhests.
- Dungeons for experience. (FATEs are by far the most efficient)
- Grand Company seal acquisition from sources other than FATEs ("expert delivery" provides at most the same amount as a single gold FATE. Why? I'm giving away items that took longer to acquire than to do one FATE!)

How intense will crafters and gatherers be involved to the housing system?

[Lirah_Tuilos]

So what are your plans for Free Companies? Are the addition of DoL/DoH and DoW/DoM going to be added to the next expanse or earlier?
Players that chose to raise chocobos; is there a limit on which house they need to do so? (would a player only get to pick from medium to Large?) As well as is there a limit to the number of chocobos you can raise.

Will there be a taxidermist to show our hunting trophies at our houses? Trophies such as Dodos, Odins left Arm or Bahamuts rear nose hair?

(LotrO did an excellent job here)

[Feilina]

Will we be able to repair our friends armor with 2.1 as we could do in 1.x?
