"In order to prevent RMT abuse, bronze beetles in the Wanderer's Palace will no longer yield gil."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? That was my favorite thing about Wanderer's Palace, and they just took it away D:<

Mind you, its not like I farm Wanderer nonstop but I always went to full all the beetles cause lets face it, EVERYONE could use the extra gil...

I wonder how RMT would abuse the beetles. It's not like they can be respawned again and again...can they? I personally kill the beetles for spiritbonding EXP.

Zone in, kill Tonberry, kill birds, kill beetles, zone out, zone in.... I guess.

Must be easy to bot that.

The following changes have been made to gathering points (GP).
-Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
-GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

No one else is excited about this? >_>

More like I dont understand. Can we gather without being a DoL now? GP resetting is more like a fix. Then again, I dont use DoLs so I dont know.

If you changed from another disciples to disciples of land, you started at 0 GP and needed to wait until your GP builded up.
Now it can start at least with 400 GP (max. GP without GP equip)

I am OK with patch but there some things which need to be improved or changed :

1.

It has been determined that pre-formed parties of three often have an unfair advantage in the Wolves’ Den. However, the addition of a solo-matching category would not only increase queue times, but hinder smaller parties that wish to participate together. Therefore, the following adjustments have been made to rewards based on party composition:
Players who register for the Wolves' Den solo or in a party of two will receive increased PvP Exp and Wolf Marks regardless of the match's outcome.
Players who register for the Wolves' Den in a light party (four players) will receive increased PvP Exp and Wolf Marks regardless of the match's outcome.

- Regarding my PVP experience not only in FFXIV but also other games, players preffer better matchmaking system over queue times.
- According real data from other PVP games when you put premade players or premade small groups against pugs/random it almost always end as "completly disaster" for pug/random

Sugestion: random player should be queued only against random players. If there is party of 2 players they should be queued against party of 2 + 2 randoms ...etc.

2 . Regarding vote abandon and "join in progress" etc, I already made my suggestion here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1805307

I do, I have more DoL and DoH classes than DoW and DoM classes and it was REALLY frustrating to lose all my GP because I wanted to change to a DoH class for a small/quick craft. I forgot to mention it, but yes, it's a nice change and it will make my gathering a bit faster.
