@3-Say what?!? I personally don't agree with every major stance the FFXI community has on various issues. That said, i can say that i can at least see where the reasoning behind it comes from most of the time. I really want to hear your rationale on this point.
@4-Pure personal opinion, and flat wrong. I was shown by the group that initiated me into the game('04), how to write macros like 2 weeks into playing. Now, i abhor excessive gear-swapping(i have a TP and a WS set for my DDs, plus WS specific swaps in the WS macro; also have comparable swaps for my mage jobs, casting and resting) at this point, but that's just me. Point being, swapping gear has ALWAYS been in the norm for most many players.
