THMs can AOE, so having AOE skills equipped could be balanced by lowering the point gain overall. That doesn't necessarily mean that its a punishment of any kind, it just means that the time it takes for a THM to down 5 mobs should be awarded close to the same amount of points that a Pugilist takes time to down 1-2.

But with what you said, that seems like a great idea. ^^ Seems more fair than pitting classes against each other. You already know who'd win. :P

EDIT: Anyways, I'll re-organize this thread tomorrow when i get back from work, after the maintenance.

Is that a challenge, Nuru!? See you on the field.

lol, that's what i like to hear. :)

Excelent idea, but it should be made where eveyone will get something for participating, I like the earned points idea.

What if, instead of trying to balance out all the classes, these competitions gets broken up by class? Then you compete against people with roughly the same abilities and it comes down to skilled game play and maybe luck. It just seems that something like this would be a fairer system, overall.

Of course, there's nothing to stop one of them from being open to all classes.

With this said, there should be two ranking charts. One for certain Classes and another for overall rank.

Spread the word peeps ^_^ I've been a bit busy lately but i will be back to update this.

I love the idea. Player competitiveness is what keeps MMOs lively, whether it's PvP or PvE challenges.

I couldn't deny that, in fact, competition exists in every game in some form or another, but most of the competition that exists in FFXIV right now is just being the highest rank in all classes and having the best equipment. This game needs alternate forms of competition, and more-so needs to involve more skill than just having the best stats.
