Bonus stats are pointless

[Mcshiggs]

First off, farming 10k GC seals is not "putting in a little time". That takes a long time.

Second, this idea that I can't play a class to its fullest LITERALLY only applies to SCH/SMN. I don't have to choose between SCH or BLM, WHM or PLD, BRD or MNK. I can play all of those classes at the same time to their fullest ability for all content in the game...which I do.

.It only applies to them for now, when they release more jobs, it will hit every class, and 10k tomes is easy, so let me educate you real quick, do you daily duty roulettes, there's a couple thousand right there, do a few hq supply and provisioning turn ins, each company only wants certain things, so spend two hours gathering, you are set for the week, maybe 2, do GC leves, do some fates, I can get 10 seals in a few hours, now if 3-4 hours per week is too much for you, then that's just you not willing to put in yes a LITTLE time to reset your points, and I didn't say that I play a summoner with 15 less int, I said if you have 15 less int, you are still playing the summoner, if you can't play it with 15 less int, then that is in your head, and nothing on these forums will be able to help you with that. You also say SCH, BLM, WHM, BLD, BRD, and MNK are classes, those are jobs, so maybe that is where your disconnect is, the attribute points are tied to the class, arcanist, not the job, scholar and summoner, and you do get bonus points for the jobs, look at your stats before and after you equip your job stone, so the ones you set are extra, so do us all a favor, either learn to farm seals or be content with being a non min/max summoner/scholar.

I understand the difference between class and job. If I use the words interchangeably, though it's erroneous, because it's a habit from other games and because the classes don't freaking matter unless you're doing something nifty like MRD dps so when someone said "class" i immediately think "job" anyway. I have no disconnect on the concept of Bonus stats. Also don't say "let me educate you". Your tone is completely condescending and that's unnecessary.

You're citing ways for me to get 10k tomes in a week. I'm not saying that changing from one job to the other for a longer period of time is hard...I'm saying that if a group in PF wants a SCH and I'm SMN specced I have to go spend 10k. I finish that group and another group wants me back on SMN. What do I do? Spend 10k more seals. I cannot freely change between the two jobs. But I CAN change to WHM or MNK or DRG or ANY OF THE OTHER JOBS absolutely freely.
