Feature Request Feedback: One week of development time?

Probably what they should've done is had Maat Fight v2 (no trusts allowed) to prove how good you are at level 119 before accessing Master Levels. They could still do it by temporarily locking it until you've completed the quest.

Here is my wishlist atm (a few quick fixes):
1) Sortie stones tradeable for gallimaufry
2) "Content: Sortie" & "Content: Odyssey" ROEs like all 4 NMs on main floor in Sortie for gallimaufry & number of kills & NMs in Odyssey for mog segments. Both give Exempler pts, not Capacity points.
3) Omen cards trading to be the ratio 1:1 so we can trade those useless ones we get in AMAN Trove
4) REM Tales to be stored up to 1024 & Higher Tier Battlefields campaign gives as many REM Tales 6-10 as the Macrocosmic orb campaign gives for REM Tales 1-5
5) Abyssea KIs to be sellable by Curio Vendor Moogle so we can skip some NMs in Abyssea if we have already completed Abyssea
6) Synthesis to have much quicker skill rates. Kits are far too expensive to do the synthesis at higher levels.
7) Synergy to be easier
8) Kindred Crests/Sacred Kindred Crests Storer just outside Western Aoudlin mog house as we get loads & one there would be useful (Gorad is his name, at the moment).

Yeh, I never understood why the ability to use trusts was granted in a fight that is meant to prove oneself.

Then again, Master means zero these days.

Did it ever mean anything? I remember even back to 75 days, people were TP burning everything post TOAU and it was really easy to get multiple jobs to cap. Then when they came out with level sync, forget about it, super easy. So really EXPing is not and has never been a metric for determining if someone is a good player... Who cares if they allow trusts in there, those fights against Maat were never difficult lol.

Well, I'm not sure what parties you were joining but most people had to do at least SOMETHING during the fight...

Not the current meta of....... standing there.

If SE wanted to, they could completely change how do get XP. They could put us in an instance of Cirdas Caverns with Nyzule objectives and have that become the predominate method for earning master levels.

The current meta of "just standing there" is a symptom of play-styles that don't favor or include certain jobs. It's almost as if a multi-boxer with 3-4 characters has a better chance of making progress than someone who is shouting on the most popular job. That's SE's fault. Not the players.

A very small suggestion: Job-specific bonus for Odyssey Segment farm. Every 24 hours, a new random job is chosen, and if you party with that job, you get +20% Odyssey segments, Sortie gallimaugry, Nyzule Tokens, Bayld, etc etc. etc. This will cause party compositions to change potentially and create a more active and dynamic group setting.

A significant majority of people are gaining levels in suspected third-party groups, regardless of job. Nobody wants to ML the way it was intended, well 99% don't. This is obvious with the new camps (Locus Imps) being completely empty...


It's not bot friendly..

Yeah the same handful of actions over and over and over. It wasn't really rocket science, more like busy work. So not sure why you are using that as some kind of test of skill lol. Also there were plenty of leech parties back in the day. There was SMN burns in Korrokola, hell some bards just sang songs and sat there and didn't pull lol.

That is mostly DD..

Mages on the other hand is a different ball game, especially when things start getting rough.

I lived and breathed this game during 75 era, you are wrong. They were all repeating the same actions over and over, even mages. Especially once people started bringing outside PLs to exp. You aren't going to convince me there was some badge of honor exping back in the day, it was trivial.

I agree about the bot situation, but at the same time, if content had a significant engagement or replay factor, people wouldn't just stand there. For example: proc'ing mobs via a certain ability or command is a great way to make sure players are engaged. Imagine FF7 battle arena-style content, but after each fight, you had to time an emote correctly to proceed to the next monster. After 10/10 monsters and 10/10 debuffs, you get a gold coffer to open.

See? I just created content that is replayable, has variety, can't really be botted due to the 10 random debuffs inflicted (once per fight, and they stack). Yes, the rewards could be better than a random RNG-fest. I prefer building towards something AND random gains.
