    Why was video posting removed?

    Seriously... Who abused this or gave SE a reason to remove it? I didn't see any use of inappropriate videos on the forums or abusing it for any purpose.

    Could a community rep please explain the rationale for removing this?

    It's probably because it gave away too much info about the fight and SE wants it to be somewhat of a surprise. At least we know it's not gonna be a push over fight, looks like fun.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    Why are you picking at my personal use of the tags, when

    1) it's a legitimate use of the function; and
    2) I've seen no example of inappropriate videos being posted.

    Videos can be a valuable tool on a forum. Removal of any forum functionality like this suggests that the funciton was being abused. This affects everyone, not just my one time use of video tags.

    SE isn't going to remove videos about a fight in the game when there is no agreement of non-disclosure of test server information and (before you say anything about third party tools) SE itself has invited us to create videos of the game on more than one occasion.

    eh... at least RDM gets some utility from equipping a staff....what does a BLM get on any of the swords it can equip? ACC/ATT, some occasionally do additional elemental damage? Yeah....people are often ok with a BLM standing on the front lines. To this day, I STILL get lampooned for capping out Scythe on BLM before I leveled DRK. With an E ranked skill, the only thing it's typically good for is farting around...but it's fun to do for sh!ts and giggles.
