Remove AOE Toggle

That doesnt mean they are redoing AP requirements. The part right next to it matters to.

-NEW-
Implement the default setting of class-specific actions when playing as that class, and define conditions for setting the actions of other classes.

=/= redoing AP system. Most likely means less Cross class abilities. And it was said in the battle blueprint that skills your your class will automatically be equipped first.

However if they reduce AP costs of mage spells, that would be good, since like i said, you can never equip all of your spells or abilities as a mage.

I would disagree with you on that. First, the first quote in my post is much closer to what your idea of the second quote is. The first quote implies some kind of changes with the bar themselves, UI elements. Automatically equipping actions, I would argue, is a UI thing.

The second quote mentions equipping actions specifically. Yes, they may not currently intend to change the way they work entirely but there are plenty of other sections of the letter that discuss balancing spells and abilities across the board, and having to change some so that they work nicer with the new systems. It's speculation, since honestly, everything is speculation. The point is, they are re examining the systems surrounding Actions, Action Points, and the Action Bar. What they decide to do, nobody knows. But we know they're at least looking at them and intend to do something with them.

Also, why do people feel like they need to equip everything? =/ Isn't that the purpose of Action Points? So you have to decide what is absolutely most important and equip only those? So many lazy people playing this game.

In FFXIV: time = hardcore, but decision making = wrong idea. We're doomed if SE feels that way, too.

They never specifically said anything about action points tho... it is absolute speculation, and hope, since it coincides with your desires to have separate spells for Aoe.

But the aoe toggle is gonna stay. they are increasing the enmity generation and MP cost of aoe cast spells.
