[SUGGESTION] Move the Dancer JA "Chocobo Jig" to level 49.

[Savlyn]

Oh my goodness I can't even read this insanity anymore. This should have been my last reply because at this point, we're really just feeding a troll.

It is a much smaller fraction than it was a few years ago, granted. Now it's a "considerable amount"

No. Just no. Abyssea warps, VW warps, outpost warps, items that teleport you directly to certain places (jeuno, nashmau, etc). Running around is now less than a fraction of the game. Before people had to use chocobos and teleports to get around. Nowadays, I can't remember having to run anywhere other than to the warp guy and maybe a minute in the zone.

(ps I definitely supported myself for about a year by selling Gukumatz and Heqet KIs back to people who didn't think out of combat movement speed was relevant, sooooo)

Congrats. It wasn't because of movement speed. Provoke and other claiming abilities activate at the same speed whether you're wearing movement speed gear or not. If movement speed = better claiming, I think I would be okay with that. But it really depends on: Who has the faster internet (i.e. no server delay), who can spam a macro/JA faster, and whether you're competing against someone with third party tools. I guarantee tons of other people "supported" themselves by selling Empy drops (I ran an effing Empy LS for 8 months) and it sure as hell wasn't because we had a DNC run around the zone with movement speed on. It was because we had people stand still and look out for mob pops.

Edit:

I also find it hard to believe you made money camping Abyssea NMs with Chocobo Jig if it truly does lock you for a couple of seconds, but maybe people on Bahamut are just that bad. I literally either didn't need to move, or only had to take a couple of steps in one direction to be able to claim Heqet back when we did. If it spawned far away enough that it would have taken me 2 seconds to cast on it, someone else in my party was probably close enough.

Lol thank you, Sotek. I was typing my long post when you posted this, and it just further proves the point. We were thinking the same thing.

If chocobo jig was moved to 49 it would be one less reason to play dancer. Although I would love to have it it would make the job less desirable hardly anyone plays dancer now.

People do play DNC. There's tons of them. And I bet if I asked every single main DNC, about 90% would say it had absolutely nothing to do with chocobo jig. Just playing a job based on one job ability that is irrelevant to actual combat is beyond idiotic. If you're willing to toss aside your main job just because chocobo jig would be useable on other jobs, then you're probably playing it for the wrong reasons. Hell, there are RDMs who still love RDM even though practically all of their job defining abilities were given to other jobs, and you're sitting here saying that DNC would be less playable if everyone got chocobo jig.

C. Jig's 5-second "cast time", which is essentially the main balancing aspect of the ability; giving everybody /sprint would give actual competitive advantages in running down claims

I don't know why in the world you or whoever you're camping NMs with is running down claims, but it makes a helluv a lot more sense to stand still in the spawn area and look around. Hell, even if it does spawn on the opposite end of the pop area, the time it would take to put on Chocobo jig with any competition around you means that you just lost the claim.

Stop being stupid and make your own thread

I think myself and everyone else who has opened this thread would agree that you're the one who should take your own advice. Just... don't make your own threads.

Loathe as I am to entertain the opinions of somebody who can't recognize "scared to death of Dusk Gloves" as a joke, if OOC +movement speed doesn't matter anyway, what's the problem with this suggestion?

First of all "Loathe as I am"? Really? Secondly, everything you say is ridiculous, so we honestly can't tell when you're joking. We think you're serious and crazy all the time.

And, there is no real suggestion in this thread. I would have had absolutely no problem with this thread had you opened it and actually stated reasons to reduce chocobo jig to lv 49. Hell, I think it's a good idea. But, because of your ludicrousness, no one here can take you seriously. I might go make my own "Move Chocobo Jig to 49" threas, but open it with real facts and reasons to do so, rather than my own opinion. (Especially if it's wrong).

If you've ever read a thread with people who post that "gear swapping is bad", it turns into the same thing. Everyone ignores the OP's proposal- in this case, lowering chocobo jig- and simply laughs at the ridiculousness of some players. It is happening here. So I ask you... for the love of Altana:
please
please
please
Do not reply any more. You are making yourself look bad and insulting the intelligence of everyone else here.
