Why on Earth did you people try and stop this from happening? YES I want two 100s.

That isn't what most of the replies tried to do at all. Most were fine with multiple lv100's and had a lot of "ifs" attached to related related concerns like going past 100 or being required to have lv100 subs on new recipes.

SE didn't say this was never ever happening, they just said they weren't doing it right now.

I for one, am happy that for once we got asked before something was decided - as far as I can recall that has never happened before. If they actually believed most of us posting were dead set against having 2 lv100's..Well I dunno what to say. But that was how I read the post saying it was postponed (not canceled).

Yeah, most of us were for raising the caps, but wanted to know exactly what their plans were... And voiced our opinions and concerns as to where this was heading... Which in my opinion is what the purpose of this thread was...

I'm all for raising the caps, but I strongly believe that some severe attention needs to be payed to the existing crafting system before they jump in and start adding things... As it stands crafting is in pretty sad shape, letting people level another to 100 really isn't going to fix that...

It's called balance. As things stand, it wouldn't really matter if we could skill all crafts to 100. But imagine for a moment, what if they started caring about crafting again, and they started giving crafts synths that replaced the old money makers. I'll tell you exactly what will happen. You'll get money synth A. You will rejoice. Then, once you realize that all the extra competition is flooding the AH, you'll start getting bitter. Unless you're a cook or alchemist and are the extra competition in the other crafts.

It's a complicated issue. It was for the best that they stop, take a step back, and consider everything. And make no mistake, there is a lot of "everything" to consider. Crafting was/still sorta is a very important part of the FFXI experience. It needs work to recover from the level cap raise.

Yeah sorry, that was a terrible explanation as to why I can't have my second 100 because of people like you whining. You used a buzz word and then rambled about some hypothetical situation without a structured argument leading up to how it would come to be.

Try again harder if you want, but I'm really hoping we get dual 100s in July.
