they just adding features that XIV missing

their goal is making the game more friendly to western players

sorry this generalization is off base. i am a western player as well as the majority of my linkshell. do you know how many support most of these ideas? the only 2 that have all battle classes to r50 already. they want it because they know it keeps them ahead of the curve and everyone else will take longer to catch up with them so they will stay on to longer.

Also, rested exp isn't "exping while logged out"
and they aren't plannyng infinite arrows. They just said will be easier craft it.
Bad troll attempt, bad information or bad faith ? Pick one

They're not working towards a game that plays in "easy mode", they're working towards a game that is not centered around grinding exp.

As for unlimited arrows, I don't think that's coming. But if it does make it in one day, it wont really bother me since repairs will still offset it in some way.

Square, if your game had a face I would punch it. I would punch your game in the face.

Things SE is doing with FFXIV:

Modernizing it and making it appeal to a larger audience.

Things SE is not doing with FFXIV:

Bringing back FFXI's stupid engine that was exploited to hell and back by players (who sometimes thought that it was a feature, i.e. gear swapping mid-combat, spells that cast at 68% on the bar, haste shenanigans).

Something tells me you never got to end game in ffxi. Gear swapping gave a ton of gear value that you wouldn't normally use in a regular fight and gave people goals to get more gear sets further which would create more end game content for people that wanted to take part in it. Without gear swaps they will pretty much be negating every single piece of gear after every expansion and SE is way too slow with pushing out content to make this work.

And before people start bringing up the fact that ffxi's end game content consisted of camping nm spawns for 24 hours, there were only like 3 mobs that had spawn times that would force linkshells to camp them in shifts, all the other 24 hour spawns only had a 3 and a half hour pop window in which the mob could only spawn every half an hour in that window giving people free time to do plenty of things outside of the game as long as they were there for the minute or so that there was a chance for the mob to spawn every half hour.

In conclusion

What SE is doing - Listening to forum trolls who have barely played this game because it is the worst thing on the planet and won't like it no matter what they do to try and "fix" the content as opposed to using ideas that have already been proven to work in a past SE MMO that was very successful as far as MMOs go for a very long time.

What SE isn't doing - realizing that the people who are crying and screaming for crap that adds barely anything of value to the game won't ever play this game once it becomes pay to play.

But hey, what do I know, its not like they alienated half their ffxi player base when they made everything accessible with little to no time invested with the travesty that was abbysea right?

I played a BLM at 75 for 3 years. I had all the sea obis, several AF +1 pieces, AF2, Zenith gear, Nashira gear, Assault gear, HQ staves, and a bunch of other gear that I don't care to remember right now.

I despised having to gear swap and looking like a clown, never having more than 4 empty inventory slots, and having pages upon pages of macros just so I could be competitive; and I despised the fact that SE kept releasing gear based around the fact that players kept exploiting this flaw in the game's engine. It's stupid game design through and through.

^Yeah seriously. At least get your facts straight about "infinite arrows" before you get all worked up about the wrong information.
