Things I Think SE Should Have Done By Now...

[Chocobits]

-Make RDM Relevant
-Stop nerfing SCH every time it becomes remotely useful
-Make SMN useful
-Make PLD able to perform the role it is supposed to excel at better than 90% of all melee jobs that currently do it better
-Stop making content that requires an alliance of Relic/Mythic and barring those, at least lvl 95 Emp to succeed
-Do away with AOE that can 1 shot most job/race combinations
-Stop implementing abilities without enough testing to determine if they will be overpowered
-Combined with above, stop nerfing things years after the fact because you "never got around to it"
-Get rid of luck based rewards and drops. Reward work and effort.
-Ban everyone that complains about Abyssea xp - it's here to stay goobers.
-Fix tp loss from "too far away"
-Stop nerfing a job that suddenly becomes "up to par".. provided it has a lvl 95+ Relic/Mythic.. lol
-As with above, stop making WAR and SAM the only relevant DDs.. it sucked in 2007 at merit camps and guess what.. it still sucks.


In short, and in response to requests for better marketing of the game:
-Fix the game first and then market a working, if not dying product to John Q. Public

Reduce EXP in Abyssea by 50%

Way too many Lv. 99's with horribly gimped skills running around on all servers. It's a pandemic that needs to be stopped.

How is that abyssea's fault that people are too lazy to skill up? Stop blaming failure on the player's part on abyssea. If the player is terrible, blame the player, not the method they used to xp.

-Storage access anywhere
-More stats shown in equipment menu
-Spell that removes charm

Dispel removes some kinds of charm AFAIK, don't know if it works on all forms. But dispel's nature is random and needs to be updated to put Charm near the top of the list.

it only works on the charmed mobs in an assault that's about the only case where it works

Play XIV where you can do all those things

Play XIV where you can do all those things

Except for play XIV because the whole game is down since... what... November? They shut the whole thing down because it sucked so bad they had to reboot the entire thing and make it entertaining. It still remains to be seen if they succeed. Aww, I'm just joking. There were parts of XIV I enjoyed, but XI was better overall IMO. We'll see how the reboot does.

Edit: Don't more people still play XI than played XIV at the time of reboot? What if they rebooted XI instead...? Hrm...

It probably would have taken less time and resources to port FFXI into the new graphics engine and bump support up to PS3 level than it would have to reboot FFXIV. Might not have been a bad idea. Put two dying things in a blender, add a little spice, and pull out something shiny. WOW did it right?
