... what?

[God]

LOL wow the Blizzard employee's didn't waste any time at all getting on the XIV forums!! O.o

OMG THIS! This is excatly whats going on in this thread by these pro screw the players for playing people.

Alright alright my apologies, I admit that was a bit of a troll move... but my God I have heard this surplus arguement for months and it always goes in the same circle...

First everyone raged out, then figured out it wasn't as bad as thought...

Then SP bonus was increased due to demand, so fatigue took effect quicker...

Now we are back to fatigue sux....

I guess next we'll get more SP bonus and it will be too easy again...

Then fatigue will set in too quick again...

ad nauseum

22 pages and months of the same arguments.
Yes, the system is not (currently) good.
I think SE gets the message.

So just wait it out now. Not going to change overnight, probably not even in April.

Edit: And the "defenders" (not really) are not "bending over" for anything. We're (or just I am) just resigned to the fact it will get fixed eventually (and if it doesn't something will be done to curb it). Screaming NOW NOW NOW won't do bacon bits worth of squat.

Edit 2: Not that anyone within the last few pages is screaming that.

God, try playing 2 or 3 classes at once then come back.You will realise that getting multiple classes together to 50 is faster than 1 class at a time to 50.Looking at your sig tells me that that is exactly what you have been doing- ARC50 then ranking up LNC...

the system was in place to stop you surpassing everyone else in terms of rank, but let you build up your character with other classes to combine them into 1.This is so more people are around the same rank and so they can party together.You can tell hardcore players from casual by the variety of skills they use,giving hardcore players an advantage.
Looking at the SP boosts now, it's very possible to get to R50 in a week or two with the surplus system gone. Theres NO way I , and many people would want that. The casual players would just cry.

Alot of people here are saying people quit because of surplus. From my experience, people are quitting because they have hit R50.Theres nothing more to do (lack of content but more will certainly come) and they don't feel like starting another class. One of the main attractive things about FFXI and FFXIV that makes them different from the other MMOs was how you could change classes. I'm glad that surplus is in place to stop people from quitting faster than they should because it lets them try out new classes before getting to 50 and saying it was boring.

I have to give this my bump! The main reason is not because I hate changing class for a day or maybe 2, but because it does not serve the purpose you made it for. You made it to try and slow hardcore players down, but hardcore players just grind through the surpus. It does not function how you intended it. If you wish to make it take 3 months to get to r50 then go for it, but do it through balancing the game. You will not upset anyone by getting rid of this.

Am I supposed to listen to you criticize my playstyle?

I have a rank50 job so i'm doing it wrong? GTFO. I have 5 other jobs above 20. WTF are you talking about, I sould have 6 at all 35 according to you?

I WANT a r50 job so I can JOIN my linkshell and take an ACTIVE part on NMs. I can't do that if i'm not 50. More proof you guys dn't have any idea how this game works. Now I can work on the other job I want to play. I want to fill our LS lack of Lancers I can't do that if i'm screwing around on other jobs because lncr was in surplus 2-3 hrs after it resests.

OF COURSE WE PLAY OTHER JOBS. OF COURSE WE GRIND THROUGH SURPLUS.

The issue is we should NOT have to deal with reduced SP for playing period.

.

ANd all my jobs are over 20...so yea....what's your point? And yea, you could have six at 35 at this point if you bothered.

But none of them are 50 so what would you know of how half the game works. :/ It doesnt matter you are telling people how to play rather then let us play the way we want. having mutiple ranks and low (not even mid lvl) ranks is no accomplishment and no help to the linkshell.

I shouldnt even have to mention the impracticality of leveling so many ranks with the lack of space to store all that gear.

so again if this isnt a problem for you start your own thread.

Actually no, the game is telling you how it wants you to play. You can either deal with it or play a game that lets you play how you want.

You also don't need that much space. If you choose the right gear.
