Instead of saying something like:

"What would be the purpose besides it was in FFXI"

You would know what the purpose of a Fame system would be if you had actually played the game. Other games post 2002 started incorporating fame systems as well because *gasp*..it's a good system and opens the doors for content based around your particular playing habit.

This is why a Rank system (GC) is nowhere near close to what a fame system, they're 2 separate entities.

This is where I get to call you a presumptuous c**k and illiterate, because I asked for justification and purpose, and not what it was. There was no justification as to why someone would want this system in the topic. I know full well what the fame system did in FFXI, because I was active in the game for 5 years.

Please, if you would be so kind, tell me why the GC ranking system would not be able to do what the fame system did in FFXI? What is stopping the devs from adding vendor discounts and recognition for high ranking members, or quests that require higher ranks?

Get out, nobody needs your constant QQing about the way I made my suggestion, I don't care if its connected to the GC or not.. i simply want the system added. If i listed everything the fame system was and asked for it to be added you would come in and say "why didn't you just say you want the fame system added, IS IT THAT HARD?" If you want to improve my suggestion then come in and say, "so you mean add this feature and this feature and this feature? I agree or I don't agree". What you basicly said is 'I'm just going to come in and bitch about everything I can'.

Again, same result in a different thread. The OP never asked for the whole game of XI to be cloned. He asked for one component that they found fun.

Why people immediately jump to this conclusion is proof that Darwin was wrong...

MMOs are moving away from these mechanics because they aren't fun and are nothing but artificial time sinks. Maybe "other games post 2002" should be revised into "older games that haven't evolved."

No challenge associated with fame/reputation systems, just boring and horrible repetition. XIV does not need fame or any reputation grinds. GC seal grinding is already enough.

How is cutting and pasting a snippet that you didn't quote relevant? Your quote was of the OP and not Zenaku. Your logic is "herpderp."

And if fame isn't your thing then no worries - I didn't like it myself. However, some people did.

The fame system was this awesome system FFXI had. The more quests you did, the more fame you did. And npcs would start recognizing you and offering you new quests. Having high fame would also lower the prize at NPC salesmen.

Anyone who doesn't like the fame system is an idiot who doesn't want to actually play the game, just have everything served in a silver platter. They are also the same people who complain they run out of content too fast.

You should revise your statement that if you wanted anything, you had to actually turn in hundreds if not thousands of millioncorn/cabbage/vegetables at Selbina because it was the quickest and most efficient way to gain fame.

Fame was more or less a horrible block for people to start experiencing content. Don't have fame? No problem, we'll just exclude you from playing the only job you had a desire to play in the first place! Hurray!

Because nothing says fun like wanting to unlock Summoner as your main job, but having to do some arbitrary garbage fame turn in quest. Accessibility is far more important than FFXI nostalgia or "FFXI challenges."
