Would you like to see the current stat system revised or redone for FFXIV 2.0?

I'm actually kinda disappointed after hearing this. Triple melds should give you a huge chunk of increase in performance, and while I think it's a great idea that base stats should be slightly tweaked to yield better results, I think it's a bad idea for the long term of this game to not have a proper gear hierarchy set up. I don't want skill to be the only relevant thing in fights, or else we could just beat all the content in AF and level 48 weapons, it's just silly.

You're talking as if there won't be new content and higher level caps later in the game.

...but then it still won't matter because the new content will be possible in very bad gear and the level cap can be reached by having someone else PL you. You're offering a very, very short term solution for a much bigger problem.

Will it? How do you know?

Do you know that PLing will be possible at all?

Because Yoshi P confirmed it wasn't going away. He didn't want friends to not be able to play together. The Community Rep just told you how stats will work. Plugging your ears and screaming "not listening" doesn't help anyone.

If they're going to be reducing the effectiveness of stats on gear, then I really hope they also increase the success rate on Meteria melds in general. This will allow players to make their choices, and have a larger variety of melds on gear rather than just re-adjusting to a meld-setup that is most effective for the difficulty.

I hope also they add more variety of materia as well. Some with unique effects that will encourage players to have a variety of builds instead of one default set up.

That's the only way I can see this adjustment being a benefit from the game instead of a determent.

Not jumping to conclusions is far from the same as plugging your ears.

Double slap in the face for investing 3million into a Double crit meld darksteel hauby

Benefits for stats, given the current and most likely specs for 2.0, should satisfy a few things.

First, the gains from any change in attributes should be visible, either from a character sheet like World of Warcraft, or a noticeable difference in actual battle.
Secondly, due to the nature of the materia system, additional melds, 3+ for example, are extremely costly, and the gains from adding those additional materia should be reflective of that cost. Meaning that as you add more of an attribute, the gains at each additional attribute should increase.
