The Fatigue System Has to Go!

I am all for some type of system that mildly regulates exp, but punishing players for not taking "time off" is a HUGE step in the wrong direction for MMOs.

FFXI had a simple system with the exp loss on death thing. People who played a lot ran a higher risk of losing experience since they would most likely die more often than a casual player.

Regardless, while I am not demanding the same system as FFXI, I think the current fatigue system is just a complete turn off and it doesn't fit in today's MMO market.

Players should be rewarded for taking time off, or trying new things, but they should not be punished just because they enjoy a certain class or they have a full free Saturday to level and grind.

I beg of FFXIV devs to reconsider a better alternative. Remember, in the MMO world, rewards are always received better by the player base than punishments. Don't turn away the player that loves your game and wants to keep playing.

They will, I'm sure. Yoshida already stated that he would like to see it go. Here's the quote.

Hello everyone! This is Producer/Director Yoshida!
Thanks so much for the discussions on surplus points. There have been a lot of threads in other regions on the same topic and many of the comments have been the same. Along with the implementation of new dungeon and raid environments, we’re looking towards the direction of basically eliminating this system.

I feel that it’s ideal that players decide on the play style.

Thank you. I had not seen that post from Yoshida yet. Very good to know!

Excellent, I hadn't seen that quote before. Thank you very much.
