How much I hate Job points and the weekend event.

[Kylos]

With the amount of experience points/merits required to cap out jobs/merits, don't we already have enough to grind? I mean .. come on, seriously.

I was willing to give Job Points a chance, I wanted to see if they would become much more available, but they have not. I have got roughly halfway through one job point category on my main job, but the steep climb has severely put me off.

Not just that, but if we want to farm job points, we have to either A) Fight solo and get minimal amounts of job points or B) Fight in a group of 6 in Woh Gates, and they are hard to get together, especially when there is no event, or you play during EU time.

The adjustments are already minimal, you barely notice any difference, and with more job categories on the way, it's just a daunting task I simply can't be bothered to work through. I have found myself playing other games a lot more lately because the amount of grind has become too much over a short period of time.

I made a post last year sometime, saying how badly the game needed new content, we needed more things to do, and you began to release new content, and rehashed old content as well. In fact, you released so many old battlefields in such a short time, along with more merits, that I ain't had the chance to do most of them. The amount of pure (repetitive) grind is getting to me, especially as far as Job Points is concerned.

You got sparks absolutely right, you got merits absolutely right, but Job points are ridiculous.

What's even worse? When you release weekend events for Double Job Points, and it just so happens to land on a weekend I have my daughter over, so I can't participate in the event. I also misread the information you gave for last weekends event, assuming it ended late on Monday night GMT time, so I logged in to try and get a party started, (only had one guy respond who knows me) and he told me that it had ended.

I was so disappointed, I mean, I know I need Job Points, but I'm not about to go out and grind for hours and hours and hours at the current rate. I would be happy if the amount of Job points we got was TRIPLED permanently. At least then the grind wouldn't feel as daunting, as we could see that JP animation a bit more often, and be pleased to see progress.

I wanted to completely cap my job points out so I could forget about it for a while, but with the new categories on the way, I will never cap a job out, it will just build and build to the point I forget about the system.

I don't know anybody who actually enjoys the Job Point system, and looking at the feedback given (in a recent questionnaire) I laughed quite hard at it. Job Points should not take up all of our time, it should be something extra to think about, but not something which is going to grind us down to the point of disappointment and boredom.

Please fix job points, and please .. stop putting double points campaigns on weekends, it's not fair on those of us who are busy on weekends and play through the week. Thanks.
