Exp Merits

[Mrbeansman]

I had a brilliant idea.
Step 1) Open up a new merit category called, "Experience Points" where you can use merits to add EXP to jobs.
Step 2) Allow people to Merit this and only this at any level.

This will both reduce the amount of "leechers" in Abyssea, and increase the speed at which you level your jobs up since the leechers won't be doing nothing. Everyone is happy!

Just imagine dropping 200k exp on a level 1 job. First time... Ding level 45. Repeat 7 more times, and you have a fully capped 90 job.

Sorry if someone already posted this brilliant idea in the past.

Might not be so bad people can go in abyssea with useful jobs then dump mass exp they "earned" into other jobs they want to level up. would make abyssea more efficient and stop all the whiners about abyssea leeching then everyone would be doing something i kinda like it

Still wouldn't stop people from complaining that no one is leveling up "the hard way".

the idea of merits is to advance your character beyond the normal limits with a limited amount of personalization, maybe if you through in a couple other things and limit it to 5 merits points per item and have the xp boost of 3% for each that would be a little more realistic but it would still be based off of every 10 levels like skill and HP boosts.. maybe cruor bonuses or gil bonuses (even gil i don't see being improved much) but I wouldn't see it being allowed to merit til 75+ because the idea of leveling is to "experience" the job and learn it by boosting xp to the point where you skip the important first levels then your just asking for headaches to the people that know how to play a job in a level sync scenario.. This wouldn't stop leeching though this would just allow the same abuse of the system as before but people would just be leveling a lot quicker and then the people meriting are going to be stuck dumping merits quicker which is why they raised max merits to begin with to eliminate the need to leave and reset your lights in abyssea every 1-2 hours..

in addition what happens when you have all 99 jobs? your xp bonus becomes useless and your going to be stuck with either removing merits and wasting the points or losing the personalization. most merit categories were meant to be consistently used throughout your gaming life ( most merited abilities/spells are worthless after the 75 cap was raised now a days anyway )

there will always be whiners but it takes care of the majority of the issues with this they can raise level cap to 75 also satisfy player requests for those who have made it to 75 and dont wanna see an influx of lvl 90's who they dont know havent taken the time to learn the job also those who are capped can "just dump xp into jobs they never wanted to play by gaining xp on jobs they love

seems a good solution

The "hard way" as you put it..is the "proper way" people should be leveling.

[Mrbeansman]

I had no idea you where in a position to make that call.

Step 3) ???
Step 4) Profit.

Well all jokes aside I actually had a similar idea when I first started playing FFXI.

But I am pretty sure this idea would also be a double edged sword as well.
