Job points = another form of merit points?

[Camiie]

Old levelling methods? You mean requiring you to be at the keyboard while you level a job, that method?

What part of "however we damn well please" was too hard for you to understand? What part of that led you to believe I ONLY meant Abyssea? You do realize there are more methods of gaining XP than Abyssea and 6-man grind parties, don't you? Do I need to list them for you? But, yes Abyssea should certainly be included, and contrary to what you believe, some of us take very active roles when we XP there. After all if everyone was leeching no one would be gaining XP.

Abyssea exp is boring, even if they don't lock out abyssea from job points I won't be doing them in there.

That's the cool thing about having choices and freedom. You do it your way and I do it mine. There is not now nor has there ever been anything stopping you and the countless other rabid fans of 6-man grind parties from grinding till your fingers and eyes bled. You all just seem to want others to be forced into your favored method because it's good for you. Even though there are SOOOOOO many of you who want to play this way you still seem to need SE to tie a steak around your neck so us lowly dogs will play with you.

And it won't force people back into old style exp parties either, people would rather team up with their trust npc`s than some guy doing the EXACT same eminence quest as them so I doubt very much they`re gonna team up with them for job points.

Gee, I can't imagine why they'd want to avoid teaming up with you.

300k/hr vs 30k/hr. is that really a choice? id like to think you have the common sense to figure that out.

Maybe you guys don't love 6-man grind parties as much as you say you do then if you allow your love of efficiency trump your love of 6-manning.

But, you know I have said that I think double XP should be the norm, so while you guys seem to have a problem with people playing in Abyssea, I have no problem with you guys getting absurd amounts of XP by doing what you love.

um its the new and improved for level 99 " merit system" of course you have to be 99 to use it. that is not a restriction. this is just clarifying that it is meant for 99+ and you need to have a job at 99.

You really want to parse words? If you HAVE to be a certain thing then yes that is a restriction. Notice I never said it was a bad restriction, but to say it isn't one is just absurd.

i dont think its being forceful. i look at it as spreading content around by making real use of it. mobs that will never get touched.

How is that spreading it around? Spreading it around means you do it where and how you like. Personally I like Campaign. Why can't I earn job points there? What about Voidwatch? Is that too "leechy" for you?

just change the leveling scope and not just what you are going to do for yourself.

Huh? What does the second part of that sentence mean?

you level 1-30 in FoV/Gov, hop to abyssea 30+, at 99 you gear up doing tier end game content while exp burning your favorite jobs with a new merit/job point system.

rinse repeat.

Sounds rather limiting. Tanaka would be proud.

its 2007 all over again. with better gear, better enhanced jobs and most system to feed into you can experience all the different types of experience points.

while we are beefing up on the grind of exp/merits/sparks/RoE obj. s.e can be making harder content. that doesnt cap in 2-3 months like delve.

Follow point A to point B. No deviations!
