[byr1001] Uncapping the Merit Point Categories

[SpankWustler]

This is too likeable and pleasant and sane and reasonable to ever be implemented, sadly.

Take a high enough dose of DMT to see nothing in everything forever, have a talk with a few dozen machine elves about merits and category caps, then post their opinions on the matter. Whatever that is, it will be more the Development Bros' style.

Byr1001? Self important much?

Aside from that, good idea.

Do a group of you gather every week to put together the dumbest idea theme for the week on these forums? This is almost as bad as suggesting DRK get escape to "enhance spell casting"

Not that I care for your opinion personally, but at least one hint of a reason would be required with that statement for anyone to think you're doing more than trolling in here. And for anyone to take you seriously.

4) At a time when content is sparse, this would give a much-needed boost to activity. - People want to play, but don't have anything that they can do to improve their character. This would make it so there is almost always something they can do.

5) Increased participation in events/systems that yield XP. - More people would do Grounds of Valor. More people would do Campaign. More people would do Besieged. More people would do Dominion Ops. More people would do Voidwatch. etc. If you increase the incentives, you increase the odds that people will partake in an event. Giving XP value serves as an incentive.

I feel like these are the best reasons for uncapping the merit point categories. SE should really like them too... it would be a great incentive for players to continue playing FFXI. It really would be helpful but definitely would not be groundbreaking lol, and I know the playerbase would definitely welcome these adjustments. (Who wouldn't? x.x)

Why should I justify why SE should not do it when you and I both know they will never consider this? I know some people like to live in the dream world on these forums but I like to bring everyone down to reality.

As opposed to up SE's A**?

Seriously, you're no Dev, nobody cares for your opinion, and they certainly are not going to take your word for it like you know more than anyone else.

I agree with the OP 100%. This is a great suggestion. =D

[Ophannus]

Don't forget it would make dynamis popular again too.
