I suppose it might be fun to play the job-making game, but I hope i don't have to tell you what a colossal amount of time you wasted coming up with all that.Quote:

While you've successfully pulled me into replying (again) to your useless posts, I'm still not giving you credit for any skillups on Troll Magic Skill, sorry. -

05-15-2012, 03:31 PMAlhanelemYes, I'm not a troll. You, on the other hand, who took the time to take the exact same action you are protesting against, are. Practice what you preach.Quote:

I didn't suggest or even bring up "gymnast." Check who actually posted what before flaming.Quote:

Describing how I feel about time mage and how some of its abilities are either redundant, don't make sense in an MMO, or whatever is not trolling. It sounds like you don't even know what trolling really means.
My comment, which you quoted to accuse me of trolling, while blunt was not intended to be inflammatory. Making up jobs can be a fun activity, I was merely trying to get at the fact that making up jobs and taking the effort so seriously isn't going to get your job idea into the game. We can't even get bug fixes passed by the devs, much less new jobs... In other words, it IS a waste of time. Then again, so are most other topics here.
For someone who acts as if he knows trolling so well, and for someone who gives so much advice on it, you're doing a remarkably bad job at following your own advice. If ignoring me is supposed to make me disappear, why aren't you ignoring me?Quote:
Naturally, if you ignore him, he disappears.

Even adding 1 new job means they have to go back and add:
New AF Quests
Allow porter moogle to store it
Implement new AF+1 materials including graphics, name, flavor text.
Add AF2 to old Dynamises/CoP Dynamis
Add AF2+2 at Magian Moogles
Make new Empyrean Armor in Abyssea including either adding seals to old NMs or making new NMs.
Adding seals to various quests/Dom Ops.
Adding dialogue to every quest in the game that references [Your Character's Job]
Various quests which give rewards based on the current job
Adding the new job to old gear while maintaining balance
New JA animations.
New emote quest at Green Magian Moogle.
New COR roll for the job.
New Ballista title for the job specific Chevron.
Revamping and resizing the job change menu in the mog house
Resizing the 'Job Level' menu to accommodate new jobs.
Adding new Testimonies and G5 quests.
These are just a few of the things it takes to create a new job, and this isn't even accounting for all the time spent balancing its abilities and spells and seeing if it fills an unfilled niche that doesn't detract much from current jobs. -

@ AyinDygra - I'd love to see those concepts and offer my own input on them, if you don't mind of course.
@ Tahngarthor of Shiva - OK dude....I'm on the same server as you, and I even chit-chat with you from time to time on Shiva. I've never been mean to you at all, but in all honesty, just stop flappin' yer yap in every freaking thread on this forum. Of the nearly 4,000 posts you've made on this forum (find something better to do much?) I'd wager to guess about 3,000 of them either contain the words "NO" or "WASTE OF TIME" or "CAN'T BE DONE" or just general negativity towards people who offer what could potentially be terrific suggestions to the game. SO SHUT THAT GALKAN YAP OF YOURS, for the love of all that is good and holy. GEEZ.....
*NINJA EDIT* - Considering the fact I even logged on here to post in response to Tahngarthor aka Alhanelem, would seem to make you (Alhanelem) the official forum troll, sir. -
05-15-2012, 06:51 PMAyinDygraHey, I made a thread just for people to read the ideas, comment on them, and potentially like them. (it was just a huge thread, and people may feel they can't respond to a single idea in the thread without reading it all... guess I should have split it up into multiple threads... but I wanted it all kept together as a cohesive whole, tied to the expansion storyline to help explain how the jobs fit into FFXI. So, have at it, I'd like to see what people think about them.Quote:

You see, the way I see it is that I post a thought on a matter, someone attacks that thought, and from that point on I'm forced into defensive mode, attempting to keep my position strong. You can't troll when you're defending. If anything, when you're defending, it means you're BEING trolled. I suppose you could argue both sides are trolling each other- but then, it's really just an argument.
.... Here I am, defending myself again. -

Honestly, if they added new jobs at this point, I'd probably just quit the game entirely.
With the current state of the game, and its desperate need for attention in so many other areas (which it's not getting), if the devs actually spent the colossal amount of time it would take to try to add new jobs this late in the game (in lieu of fixing the myriad of other things that are far more important), it would really prove how little they care about trying to actually make the game fun again. -
