Thank you for making both the grind and rewards of the Job Point system so terrible.

I can honestly seeing this become the next rmt hot spot. It is not hard to have a war and rdm pull all and sell four spots.

I'm amazed no one seems to be FCing them, I mean Marjami Ravine mobs can hardly hurt my RDM in refresh gear with Pro/Shell & Phalanx, I can hardly imagine what a WAR could do in full 119 Cizin with PDT Augments and RDM buffs could do to them. FCs would be insanely easy and possibly very profitable, yet, no one seems to care.

I dunno. Population of Asura was around 800 last night. I mean, yeah, Monday night, but those are some very low numbers. No one seems to be doing much of anything right now.

Admittedly Phoenix was at 719 earlier today(722 now) so population may be a part of it.

[Olor]

yeah the population levels are getting worrisome. I mean they could always do a server merge, but that would drive players away too. It's sort of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If they would at least do the double subscription deal with XIV that they used to have, folks might sub to XI and pop in now and again when they were capped on mythic tomes or whatnot, but not worthwhile for full sub price.

They should never have made XIV in the first place.

Hello, everyone.

Thanks for all the feedback on the job point system.

I wanted to let you know about some upcoming plans, not only for job points, but for the merit point system as well.

As mentioned during "Freshly Picked Vana’diel 5" we will be adding new job point categories, and the next set will be implemented in the upcoming version update. To prepare for this, as well as aid current efforts to enhance your jobs, we'll be holding a special “Double Capacity Point Campaign” that is set to begin on April 18th.

On the merit point front, you can rest assured that the development team hasn’t forgotten about this system even with the advent of the job point system. After the June version update we will be increasing the caps on certain merit point categories – meaning that if you’ve already increased HP to stage 15, you’ll be able to put merit points into MP. We’re also looking into increasing the amount of merit points you can store at once.

Please also address the heavy penalty on capactiy point when one is in a party. For example, when solo'ing out in Yorica Weald (as well as using trusts), I would get 120-130 cp per mobs. But when I'm in a party of just 2 (1 other real player/person), the cp drops to 65-70. I can understand and maybe even live with a few percentage penalty, but what we have here is basically a 50% penalty on just 2 person real party. This really give the player base ZERO incentive to party up at all when you only have 1 or 2 other players that want to form a party to farm CP/JP.

Hello Camate,

Could you possibly get some information about which categories are going to be expanded? I would love to see a cap increase for the job-specific categories.

If the amount needed isn't reduced, even doubling it won't make me think about doing this, it's not worth the time.

[Kaeviathan]

I dislike how slow it is to obtain capacity points in the game. Not even the idea of double capacity point campaign intrigues me. If we're trying to bring back merit parties like the old days, a lot of jobs gonna be left behind. Who is gonna want to party up with a blm, run, pld, dnc, nin, pup, geo, bst, thf, rng and smns? To most of us, they are considered jobs not suited for exp/merit parties. Only used for certain strategic situations. Having to acquire job points for a specific job with having to use that job as the only method in doing so was a terrible idea to begin with.
