Bring back the ammo Market!

[ShinkuTachi]

We prepare by running lower lvl/ilvl instances to gear up for higher lvl/ilvl ones. We prepare by leveling CUL or purchasing food from the broker for whatever needed stat boost (be it a little bit more accuracy to boost us to cap, or some extra spell speed to get over some casting hump, or whathaveyou). We prepare by stocking up on stat potions for that needed burst of defense or damage or healing at just the right moment in a fight. We prepare by going through the melding process with any crafted gear so as to optimize stat distribution. We prepare by learning our class to the best of our ability and adapting and incorporating knowledge gained from new situations. We can even prepare by watching videos or reading guides on a particular fight if we so choose.

There is plenty of preparation that goes into playing one's character at the top of his or her game. "Ammo" mechanics are nothing more than pointless busywork.

NOT ENOUGH!
YOU MUST HAVE THAT 0.0000001% INCREASE OR YOU ARE GARBAGE! IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO EVEN MORE EXTRA PREP-WORK THAT MEANS YOU ARE SOME WoW FANBOY CASUAL, YOU ARE KILLING THIS GAME, AND YOU ARE KILLING THE MMO GENRE.......blah blah blah...blah blah...blah blah...blah. {the typical rhetoric of the ex-FFXI player, or the ultra-leet 1.0 player}

I am just joking of course, and I agree with you. I honestly feel that consumable ammo in this game is a terrible idea; the food, the stat increase items, materia, and setting cross class skills is enough.

the second optional ammo is added, is the second it's no longer optional. money sinking a class to function is a horrid design. please god no.

[XNihili]

I like this idea !!! Nothing feels like beating some job with a nerf bat and then steal its wallet while it's down

[Felis]

Ammo that isn't consumable but add stats/effects to your attacks, like sleep arrows, para arrows, drain arrows, ect. that would be awesome <.>

Not to every attack, or it would be overpowered if each attack skill get a sleep effect.

But maybe an extra skill, which attack with the arrow you have equipped? Low base damage, 2 minute CD, only good for the special effect from the equipped arrow.

[Pinworms]

NO, NO, and NO. On the expendable ammo... Don't need it, don't want it, and won't play it.

This is probably the best response to the request to add ammo.

Maybe we should make every white mage heal use up a consumable reagent as well =p (or blm nuke). I'm sure we can come up with a ridiculous money sink for melee jobs as well. (This is sarcasm for those who have trouble telling things like that. Consumable arrows is a dumb idea.)

It's only dumb because people are getting arrows for free now . When something is free, they never wanna let it go.... ever!

No. It's dumb because it's unfair that certain classes would need to pay gil to function, and others wouldn't.

Unless you want to add this to every class (which is just as bad) it shouldn't be added to BRD.

How about having to buy whetstones to sharpen your weapon after every x hits? Dumb?

Pulling invisible arrows out of nowhere, I feel is dumb. That's just me. Let's not turn this into a "This is dumb" contest. :/
