PLEASE Tell me "Grounds of Valor" is what I think it is!! (FFXI Gyms of Vana'diel??)

I have to apologize as well, but this ^.

If there's one reason the Community Team hesitates to provide feedback to all of the suggestion threads here, it's outcomes like this; especially considering how many people are talking about how they ought to offer you a job. User feedback is fine. Suggestions from users is fine. Heck, being excited because there was positive feedback to a suggestion you made is fine. But no company wants to be in a position where they feel pressured to hire someone or implement their ideas because they submitted a good suggestion once. It can only end badly.

^This

There is also a justified fear of you possibly suing for using your idea. It is now well documented in this forum that it is your idea. It's the same reason a lot of musicians don't want to listen to other people pitching them a song. Again, why I'm seriously doubting it would be the gyms idea. If they did decide to use it, I'm guessing someone from their legal department would contact you. Even if you said they could have it for free, they most likely would want to pay you at least a dollar and have you sign a contract. That way if you ever came back later and tried to sue, they would have the contract and the check you accepted for your idea. It's a litigious world.

I would love that dollar like my own child, and call it Greeny-Boy ^^ it's mother would be SquareEnix lol

j/k but yeah, I'd be happy to do just that to get the concept going.

Ahhh boy, always a wet noodle in the bunch /sigh
Not once have I said anything to even hint at being anything but an avid fan of FFXI and my proposals are based on that alone. It always amazes me how such things like this can be spawned from such light-hearted fun topics. Go be mad in the corner somewhere.

They used the idea of grips from an old idea I tossed out on ffxiclopedia (except I used the idea of Weapon Tassels not Weapon Grips) They will change the name around and probably make it their own--if it is your idea--either way you should just be proud they are using the idea. We all will know that it was yours and honestly that would be enough for me. ^^d

[Kailea_Nagisa]

really? this idea? I dont think it is this, and if they even added something like you idea..... I would be disappointed.

I mean hell people already dont level normally in the old zones anymore..... at least take your time and skill up in them.

a game that was nothing but Gym > Abyssea > Gym > Abyssea would be boring as hell.

It would be enough for me as well. I don't care about the recognition part so much as I would just want the fun of the enjoying the system, but I know realistically it would be completely out of SE's character to implement a concept so quickly without massive testing and such... But I'd of course welcome such a rare change in character if it meant seeing the functionality lol

If you read through my proposal fully, you would see that skill-ups were really a side note concept next to a system that would actually have the potential (if done properly) to help "Train" players how to properly do their jobs in both solo and party situations. On top of that, it would add fun and efficiency to the process of skilling up, which is something you can't find skilling up currently due to the blatant monotony and "time-sink" nature of it all. I've said it before in a thread of mine, that neither capped skills nor being the highest lvl instantly make you a better/more competent player in this game, so the fears of either skills or exp coming quickly will degrade the game are misplaced.
Time, testing, trial and error, and experience playing the game are the only things that will create a seasoned and competent player, so unless the Dev Team creates an "Auto Player" functionality that plays the game for you as you sit back and watch, you have nothing to fear.

Abyssea was a solution to an old mistake made by the Dev Team. "How come players can't enjoy our game content when they log on? They're main focus 90% of the time when they log on is trying to find ways to effectively EXP and skill up combat/magic skills, rather than participate in the months and months of content we just spent time/money creating. Hmmmm...", and along came Abyssea.

Nothing about my concept would support anything of the "boring" sort ^^ go check it out in detail.

nah its not about your idea kingfury i would love to see that SE can produce something like your suggestion so quickly as you posted your suggestion on 3/15/2011 and the dev team noticed your post on 3/17/2011 and created voidwalkers in response and fully tested it and such in like 20days but its not possible in that time frame. we wont see it in this comming update but i bet we will see your idea made into reality in the next version update after this one. at least i hope so it was a pretty good suggestion and we have needed something like this for a while now.

Yep, I realize this ^^ I was just hoping against hope that I could get a sliver of a hint to what the new addition was. Thanks for the support of the concept /salute
