Turn Windurst's School of Magic into a magic skill up place / BLU learning methods

[arlais]

i dont mean to sound harsh or anythign . but if your skills are capped and merited why would you even care if they thought of intruducing it? theres absoultly no purpose to it other then generating a new generation of mindless players who have no consept of how to do ther jobs here is a nice example.

i'm in abyssea doing dom opps Saturday up upping some gaxe skill becasue its not capped and im waiting for my next ls event and i got nothing else to do. just like clock work i see a BLM fall over dead. then the next pull another one fall over dead till all 3 are dead. fast farward 5 mins and the cycle is repeated. no skin off my nose im not dieing so i say nothing. i just laugh at them killing themselves. then it starts "wow <insert name> you really throwing out some damage" "yea hes a awsome BLM" "yea i smoke these guys" i start really watching. no Stoneskin, no blink, phalanx, no shadows, no mana Wall no mana douse. teal gear. mob gets pulled at 75% he nukes, the mob then runs over and beats him to death. i say your nukling to early try around 50%. there responce back
" if i nuke at 50% the mobs hp is down to 14% when the spell goes off bro" "so then you one shot it i dont see the problem"
" i dont think you need to be schooling me bro" of couse he dies about 20 more times. then goes and changes to sam. and then goes AFK the rest of the time i was there.

the easier/dumber they make the game the more people of this caliber are produced. until befoe you know it your surrounded with a server of level 90 people who cant walk and chew gum. its funny the more they make this game easier the more people dont try. the more they want it weasier and effortless. just watch in a few more updates you wont even have to level at all. just pay your monthly sub and SE will level and get the gear for you. be pratical. its all we need is a bunch of new players who jsut stand ther drooling on themselves woundering when ther getting +2 gear. and no offese fable isnt a mmo. and u cant do the same thing like that on a real mmo.

Amen.
Also, because the letter count is too short, rofl.

To Megatron,
As I said at least a couple times already this thread was not open to make things easier for people in anyway, nor for my personal need.
What I was proposing was to give the school of Windurst a way to actually work for players instead of just 'being there', since Windurst is supposed to be an academic city full of scholars and mages learning magic. The skill up was just ONE of the many ways the school could work. I also put the gaining-scrolls-through-trials idea there. Please read the posts fully before giving an answer.
I can just put a question to make it easier to understand:
If Windurst's School of Magic was going to work for players what would you want it to provide to players?

i did read your post. and the school is there for quests and missions and like i said ffxi is not fable. and putting a place in a city were anywere from 1k-2k people would gather to "skill up" would crash the servers. lag out the game and is not benifitial to the game in anyway. its harder to put something from a offline game into pratical use in a multiplayer game. the result, and server problems. while you haveing a big heart and wanting to help the little guy learn at a easier and faster pace. is a very kind idea. the pratical usage would be exploited to no end and would husrt more then it ever helpped.

as for skill up scrolls. a mage gets skill ups from casting the spells. by simply castign the spell they have a chance to get a skill up like anyoen else. if we give mages skill up scrolls. then everyone will wanta skill up scroll. peopel will want weapon skill up scrolls. combat skill scrolls. then crafting scrolls. syenergy scrolls. if you make the game to easy peopel exploit it and wont even try . youll level 1 job to 90. Abyssea burn then just scroll grind. and of never touched a monster or casted a single spell. and be at 100%

i'm sorry im not a fan of your idea. just tired of people being spoon feed everything then thinking ther bad arse. kudos on wanting to help the new guys. do like i do. take em spell hunting or just for fun do skill up parties. it how we make friends.

never said skill up scrolls lol... I think you should read the post again. But I respect your opinion.

general tips on how to be a better mage. help them understand what spell is based on what physical or magical stat.
macro design. and how to manage emunity. the schools are there for the storylines. just like 95% of the strustors in the game. very ferw havea player purpose outside the story archs.

if it ant broke dont fix it. the skill up scroll was a referance to a typical pay out that se would give like for dynamus the XP scrolls. over the years many apon many peopel have had good ideas for SE to use but eventhe good ideas get warped and twisted into things they never expect. we as a group loveto exploit everythign to our advantage. or you more then likey simply say "well them being gimped doesn't effect me" if you dont try to help the problem your part of it. if i had my choice i would make skill ups harder not easier.. if you earn it you respect it.

I'm kind of surprised to see the people who think making it easier to gain magic skill-ups is a bad thing. Spells that you can cast on high level mobs (dark, enfeebling, elemental, divine) already skill up super fast (they cap within 3 nights of playing a level 90 job) whereas skills that are only used on self cap so slowly that people either abuse third party programs to cap them while afk or they decide that there's no point/rush to cap them and just ignore them. I'm not familiar with BLU, SMN, or NIN skill however as a WHM BLM RDM BRD I'm not threatened by the idea of making skillups easier because things I have capped already were very easy to cap and things that I have not capped are so hard to cap that it's more a badge of honor that they're not yet capped than a shame.

How about keeping it in TAU?
And no, [Learning Blue Magic.] is the way it is for a reason. How many FF games have you played?

[TearValerin]

I disapprove of this idea. If you actually attempt to level in areas around your level, your magic should be kept up easily. The game doesn't need even easier skill ups than it has now.

Becides, if you changed the magic school, where would poor little Koko Lihzeh study?
