Suggestion: Raise Minimum Level to Unlock Expansion Jobs to 50

[SubDragon]

This is the dumbest idea to date I've read on these forums
Why would you diminish the already small new player base?
FFXI is still very hard to do solo from scratch without friends and without help.
Most people the trolls disregard this well you can't argue with stupid.
Perhaps that elitist mentality of I've been playing for x amount of years (9 in my case) somehow makes the brain forget you too were stuck without help to get your sj items most of your missions and most of everything without help.
Go ahead and lie your ass off that you could do Beneath the Arks solo at 30 8 years ago or that you could solo farm your sj items or that you could... oh wait there were hoards of people who needed it then so shouts were oh so common.
Already new players are ridiculed in shouts for basic things most of us accomplished those 9 years ago.

Seriously if your so offended at how easy it is to level go find another game, there are plenty of other games you lifeless, living with mom and dad single for a reason players can play who play 24/7 b/c your afraid of actual human contact can play chances are I've been playing a hell of a lot longer than you.

Yes FFXI was hard as hell back in the day you had to put time into your char to do anything 18 people to climb a promyvion tower because you could not climb those towers with anything less only to loose still haunts me occasionally but things have changed. [I bet some troll is going to say that they could or did which is a flat out fabrication b/c they changed the mob placement early on for this very reason]


"Change or Die"

The core problem is the player base imo. Most of you just complain and whine about everything from the day they introduced the changes to the mh NOT restoring your 2 hours with job changes to smn burn parties to abyssea.

Either way this ranks stupidest suggestion to date on these forums. pull your heads out your.... and open your eyes to ffxi as a whole.

Devs make several mistakes and I'm sure would fix them if you would all stop whining about every last little thing.

In addition to Subdragon's rant about silly nonsensical ideas from the player base I keep seeing tons and tons of stupid suggestions from the people here and most of the suggestions are about powering up X job. Another problem with the player base is that people want their job to be top-dog there is no sense of balance or strategy when it comes to these people. For example in the samurai forums a guy wanted to have sam dual wield 2handed weapons along other balance distorting bs. I'm glad that the dev team more or less said "no". Also in the paladin forum the response given by the community rep I feel is a strong indication of how unimaginative some players have become since now its "zerg all the things!"

Hats off to you devs for putting up with the silly suggestions and considering game balance as a whole.

I like the idea of dualwield 2h-weapons - most likely cause it's absurd (and I hope they won't introduce it!)
