REVAMP OF FINAL FANTASY XI

[Iakothm]

Those who have money, use it to pay in exchange for time gained and service rendered. Those who don't have money, use their time to gain what funds they are lacking or selling mercenary service. It works in real life too by the way. Apparently this works fine for a lot of games. The 10% of hardcore will pay for the rest of the 90% casual players. Let's face it, the hardcore benefits the most from the contents anyway. The methods we have right now, the 90% casual is paying for the 10% so they can enjoy the content first while the majority pretty much still be happily doing what they have been doing, which is not much of anything in the game.

lol wrong. Perfect World Entertainment ever heard of them? People have spent over 10k at times and others haven't now how over powered do you think those people who spend shit tons get? To think that the game would be all fine and dandy if it went free to play is stupid. Going free to play means the end of this game and there is no doubt at all about that.

To me RDM doesn't need to be redone. It would be nice to get a few new spells that we can use to either buff a party with or new enfeebles that actually land and stick on mobs. To me that is the majority of RDM issues now. The NMs and endgame mobs become completely immune to our enfeebles coupled with other mage jobs getting group buffs that we can only do single target or self target only lead to the demise of RDM. All SE needs to do is equal out what mobs and NMs are immune to and add a few more updated enfeebles or add abilities that we can help buff party members better then anyother job then we would be back to party status. Again tho I gave up on SE to make any changes for just one job since there are so many other jobs that need to be reworked as well.

I am not sure if you are right. The only difference is that some people have access to Legion, Neo Nyzul, Voidwatch, Meeble, etc... while others who choose not to buy those, won't have access to the gears and event. Which if you look at it, it's pretty much what is happening to a good 50-60% of the players as it is now. They know those exist, but they have not done it at all. No imbalance. You buy for access to the gears, you still have to do those events and deal with the 0.0000001% drop rate lol.

I've played perfect world a fair bit back in the day, and most items you get from the shop other then dragon orbs don't do much for you in the game other then make you look all fancy like with a pretty pony to ride, sorry a prettier pony +1. Perfect world is in most senses perfect where you get a large reward for helping out lower levels then you for quests you already did, also most world monsters don't drop much but if you do the quest you all get good stuff.

back on track, you can spend 10k in the shop and come out with millions on gold but then you have to buy gear that everyone can get, i had over 100mil at level 20 from farming hay. money is no problem in that game just like this game was becoming until blinkers where killed.

How long ago have you played? I want you to try that game again and try to make that much money at level 20. Not gonna happen. I went to play for about a month not too long ago and their gold trading system, while back in the day was awesome, is ridiculous now. If you were a level 20 tying to buy a mount, you'll be paying about 100 mil to get one of the older ones. The game's economy is jacked up (you think blinkers messed up the economy here?) to the point where unless you cash shop heavily, you won't be able to catch up. End game gear is now put in gamble boxes/cash shop. You know those lovely quests that reward higher levels for helping lower levels? Laughable now since you can just buy the stuff.

This game has its imperfections, but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Like I said, I played it recently and it's like a train wreck anymore--it's kinda sad actually.
