Alternate Advancement System

I am curious if something like this is planned or has even been considered for this game. Link provided below to give anyone who reads this a basic understanding of the type of things one could get from a system like this.

So the system was created to give players the ability to further advance their characters beyond just getting the best possible gear. It also gave people a reason to continue to log in day after day. I have seen numerous people whom feel that they have nothing to do after they have maxed out their tomestones for the week.

I do not feel they will add this feature for quite a while. Especially if they intend to keep increasing the level cap with new expansions. If they follow suit to XI (which they are suppose to make this game different from XI in every way possible) where the level cap will remain for years on end before another increase come along, then I could SE adding in character advancement in a "merit system" type format.

But who knows what Heavensward will bring. SE said in their latest letter (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/206031) that we will experience a whole new FFXIV.

At the end of the day though I agree and cant wait for this to be implemented someday.

They did have the merit system in Final Fantasy XI. SE should add a Job Soul System so when we hit the level 60 cap our exp points can be converted to ability points and we can spend them to further advance our Job's abilities and power or get a combination of a variety abilities that have synergy with each other.
