Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

[Zenion]

THis was mentioned in the recent AMA, they mentioned considering this but there was some reason why it wouldn't be a simple task.

I can't find any mention of Campaign (at all, asked or answered) in the AMA thread, but regarding Besieged:

A: Although we considered this in the past, we can't simply make the enemies stronger due to how Besieged has elements like key NPCs in Al Zahbi getting kidnapped and the keeping track of consecutive victories, so we're leaving it as-is for now.

You're correct actually, and I was confusing campaign with besieged. But given how Campaign works basically the same way, with the battles having an impact on how NPCs appear and behave, probably the same rules and considerations apply.

Idea for an official CAPACITY RING similar to empress band

The empress band was created and balanced with the LV75 cap in mind, which seems perfect to me, but I don't agree that they use the same criteria for capacity rings. There is a huge difference between lv99 vs JP 2100.

It takes 63,000,000 to reach 2100 JP and I'm really sorry but 30k EXP doesn't help at all.

The reason why I am making this post is because today in 2022. The vast majority of players and especially new-players. They use the RMT to reach 2100 points, in 1 week, to be able to play with their friends, which makes them miss the whole learning process.

Day 1: Reach level 99 in one day being power leveled by a friend
Day 2: For 1 week they use RMT to reach 2100JP and they are still AFK

When these players hit MASTER-JOB status, they are very slow healers, dds who play in slow motion, supports don't know how to apply their buffs, all their skills are incomplete and they can't play anything serious which leads them to leave the game quickly

This CAPACITY-RING would give incentives to PLAY the game instead of AFK and leech exp.

Empress CP-band. 7/7 weekly charges and 315,000
Emperor CP-band. 3/3 weekly charges and 630,000

Or simply just stop players recieving exp after being idle for a set period of time or has not used any JA MA WS etc after that time period

Do you have any idea how easy it is to make a Windower script that fires off a job ability at set intervals? I could make my Monk stand in Adoulin automatically doing Chakra ever 4 minutes and 20 seconds, and just let him do that for days.

In periods of high traffic FFXIV implements an auto AFK kick timer. But it's defeated stupidly easy by a simple program that taps the CTRL key for you periodically whenever you're idle.

So yeah, there's not much point in doing something like this when anyone who knows about it and cares to do so can defeat it with no effort.

unlock gender roles for the valentines day event would be nice, the male /female hookup party concept seems so old, why can we just do the event with 2 males or two females

+1. FFXI's stance on same-sex relations (also in weddings) has been outdated for a long time. Conservative social attitudes in Japan cannot excuse it. A majority of Japanese people supports same-sex marriage.

It's a very good idea but I think a carrot and stick approach is best. Give a substantial CP bonus that needs to be claimed daily, but also limit the amount of CP a character can earn per Earth day. Similarly, the amount of exemplar points one can gain on a character on each Earth day should be capped. The cap should be large enough to make forming a party and actually playing worthwhile and rewarding, and small enough to make RMT bots less attractive. For example:

daily limit of 3M capacity points (100 job points) and 300,000 exemplar points.

I have 50 level 1 goblin box mules.

I used to log every one in, every day to open boxes (among other things). The 30 second logout timer (or 30 second walk to and from gob) + the cost being more than the granted points per day is why I stopped paying for them.

If you added a buff that is applied when you talk to the goblin and open the special dial that lets you logout instantly & gave players 50 points per day to offset the fee I would still have them subbed. It just takes too long.

The whole 30 second log out thing is outdated in the first place. If i type /logout it should be instantaneous. I get that it USED to be a countermeasure to dying. No one cares anymore.

Log out in the moghouse is instant, it should be everywhere.

No, it would be abused, easily.
