Add an NPC to the game that converts Job Points and Mlevel

[Jordache]

its s hold over to how they're doing stuff - like it coudl be that exp over a maxed out capp (exp, merits, capacity points, job points, and MLV points now get coverted into buff or somethign useful like a moogle mania stat, and ifyou keep exping you just get permanent buffs on

soliek 10k poitn give you permanent protect effect, 20k gives you shell etc. its a bad thign b/c you end up going to this god-mode in an online game but thenhave no way to ascend the god mode once everyone has it.

its a dev proglem for sure, but not one that is horrible or NON-implementable in thesis: maybe just limited to basic buffs like pro/shell/haste 1/RR - stuff you can get for points at those white books, maybe food duration its a short term stop gap without walking away from a totally automated MMO, or shutting it down - but tis still a forward progression into the same maps and content and its JUST exp.

a new zone or job woudl be nice - or a set of MLV job abilities or something big and replayable - typically a new job is that answer but idk how SE feels about impelemting a new job 25 years on.

Also add some Mlev and Job points for completing a daily RoE objective, this way casual players with an hour to spend can make more meaningful progress on something that matters to them and feel rewarded for going and killing those 20 crabs in their lunch break.

Because there's precedent? Experience points over cap become limit points, merit points become potpourri and HTMB key items, and excess job points can be used to bypass a difficult content wall for upgrading ultimate weapons.

Limit points are the same as experience points except for the name. And you can still max those out.

As for the "difficult content wall," it's not so difficult anymore.

We don't need to create uses for "points" just for the sake of doing so.

Well, I would like a moogle npc in Ru'Lude Gardens, maybe, so I can exchange my excess 500 Job points on my DRG or BLM onto my SMN, RDM, WHM or other jobs at 99 as I have hardly any job points at all on these. The way I see it, I've already done the hard work leveling these jobs to 99 already & I don't have time anymore to play this so I would like some sort of "thank you" from SE for all our hard work on this over the years. I know what some of you are when you say "get on the job if you want to get it to master level" & you go ahead and do that, there's nothing stopping you but there are quite a few us that say "I don't have time for this". There are also quite a few jobs that are very difficult to get any job points on when soloing, like WHM, due to the way you progress as you get much less capacity points rate at the lower levels of job points comparing to towards the end.

As much I understand where OP coming from, good intentions.

I fundamentally don't think this is any solution, it would just lead to everyone solo BLU cleaving.

If they don't let people gain these in a way that is enjoyable, they will just buy them from RMT then.

People already do this seeing how filled KRT and Bibiki Bay are with people that afk and somehow still get CP and EP.

Very much this. Like I said, people will just take the most efficient job, whether they like playing it or not, and use it to reduce the grind for the other jobs.

Think if the game was like this from the beginning. Basically everybody would have been playing the same job and you couldn't make proper parties.

Bit of an older post, but maybe have a system more like rested exp in 14.
People would still play the easier job to get the rested exp boost, but then would need to play the other job to benefit from it.

It won't discourage people from Botting or Paying for RMTs. Not sure there is an actual fix for that.
