Job Trials 91-99

[Tsukino_Kaji]

What if... you dont level trough EXP from 91 to 99 but earn each level with a quest/mission/solo battlefield designed specifically for your job and forcing you to learn how to play it, being in a party, solo, support etc.

You have to keep in mind that some jobs, like rdm, have more of a luck element to them then a learning one for these kind of fights.(I.e. Maat 70.)

How about we have it so every level post 90, you have to challenge another player (of equal level and job), the winner raises their level cap for that job by 1, the loser lowers their level cap for that job by 1, to a minimum of 90. That way we know that in general people will be less gimp. Bad players will be stuck at 90, better players will be able to get to 99. Everyone is happy.

I'd be all for this, but PvP game elements differ so vastly from PvE that a direct 1v1 fight may not be the best way to determine "good" players. If you want to find a good player in a PvE sense, have them compete in a PvE sense. Two DDs can compete to see who can output the most damage. Healers can compete to see how long they can keep an NPC alive. Bards can ... hell if I know. Sing shit.

Aside from obvious support class hurdles, I'd have no issues with letting only superior players level up. Maybe it would knock some bloody sense into the population when they realize they can't break level 90 without using gear swap macros and being not-shitty.

I... I absolutely love this idea. Tasks that require one to exemplify their job.

Exactly
