So, with fatigue going away, what happens with accumulated surplus points?

Not sure if it has been stated by the dev team or not, but will the accumulated surplus be turned into Skill/Experience points or it'll be simply gone?

Hoping for the former, of course.

Eekiki makes me laugh! ^.^

Why should you be rewarded for excessive grinding against the barriers SE intentionally implemented to prevent excessive grinding?

========= copy/paste from translation thread ==========
Monmon started a thread about where all the surplus exp/points is going when it is being removed in 1.18. In the past the old dev team said in a interview that they 'may' include some type of system where they reward the hardcore players that kept on playing even in surplus/fatigue mode. Rep has responded to that thread so here goes,

Please acknowledge that along with fatigue system being removed the surplus will also be removed and we are not planning any type of return.

There you go, the surplus exp is got sucked into a black hole which we will never see. We fed the black hole and the black hole gained exp/ranks and now it's shooting out a dark cloud that is going to take over the world of Eorzea and going to eat all of us. Damn all of you hardcore players!

==========================

Just think of it as in long term this change will reward you more exp (if you didn't cap all the classes already that is)

Because people should be rewarded for not listening to signs of fatigue! Just like in real life! :D

No such thing as "surplus" if you ask me. Only fatigue and pointless penalties.

Ah, I haven't played many of the older FF games. Got started on Tactics and IX and never really went back.

:) you know where i got the dark cloud idea from

It'd be in bad taste to laugh about someone actually thinking those points actually existed in any form, so I won't.

Instead, I'll just go with the tried and true "if you thought that those points were worth anything, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you right over there..."
