Personal opinion on content and fixes that could make the game more enjoyable

[TheUltimate3]

Gameplay
To knock out the elephant in the room; adjust the rewards from hunts. I don't want them deleted or made totally useless. But I also don't want them to become the rampaging horde they are now.

Adjust the atma drop rates. Nuff said.

Personally I would like a more firm hand on crafting and gathering classes. I would prefer only 1 job at lvl cap, the rest are half way or not at all. This is mainly because I'm selfish and I would prefer players have 1 crafting class to focus on, that way things don't go full stupid when it comes to market.

Animations
I would like weight added back for movement. Just to make things slightly more interesting. I do not want it to slow down combat however.


Misc
All armor dyable by default, no need for these augmented sets or "old gear just called something new so we can dye it" sets.
I like the idea of prisms to keep crafters relevant but at the same time, the cost of prisims are just stupid, and I'm aware they are only expensive because we buy them as such. So on the one hand I would just like a vanity tab, but on the other, I completely understand and support the prisims. So mix bag there.

Expansion idea, the next continent we go to be big. Like super big, with just enough aetheryte as to not making it mind murderingly stupid to get around but large enough so that the world doesn't look or feel small.

Adding to the above, NMs wonder around with a lot more frequency, but offer nothing really of value but a % chance of dropping a vanity item. Ideally it would be enticing enough for people to try and kill one if they happen across it, but not enticing enough to drag an entire server to it. As stated, they spawn regularly (not this 1 per hour - 1 every 48 hour stuff) so there shouldn't be a rush to grab them.

13- TAKE low level TRIALS OUT OF LOW LEVEL roulette ... Low level trials don’t count for DR in challenge log

HELL NO!

I disagree with a lot of other stuff but this one is just bad.

To some degree, quests are out of balance in terms of their level. It would be nice if every quest was possible to complete (perhaps after a few failures) by a character of that same level.

Are there really any quests in the game that are hard to complete if you're at the recommended level?

Personally I would like a more firm hand on crafting and gathering classes. I would prefer only 1 job at lvl cap, the rest are half way or not at all. This is mainly because I'm selfish and I would prefer players have 1 crafting class to focus on, that way things don't go full stupid when it comes to market.

At least you admit that you're selfish, others like to pretend that this would make the economy "good" because prices would be higher.

As for me though, this is another HELL NO, things are already getting bad with desynths having a cap and how expensive/time consuming getting the main hand tools for every crafter/gatherer is. One of the best things about crafting and gathering in FFXIV is that I can level everything. This is just taking the fun out of crating /gathering.

I would rather see SE do their own thing than to listen to other's.

Somethings people say I can tolerate but most of the part SE on main development of the game and stuff I would rather see them do it.

The smartest thing SE can do is not listen to its player base. We kind of ruin everything.

27- Glamors are a pain to obtain, make the first 3 tiers shop sold

These are extremley easy to obtain.

Make 2x [Item] + Obtain 1x Grade [X] Glamour Prism = Grade [X] Glamour Prism

It's already stupidly simple.

Maybe he's referring to the glamor wear, not merely the prisms used to finalize the look. And those are genuinely a PITA to obtain.

Many of them either require insanely rare drops from treasure chests (I'm 0/104 on Blue Fox Hide for my Smock), or 3-star level crafting and master books. 3-Star crafting, by the way, can only even be attempted by players who have crafted 60 HQ endgame items (with a difficulty rivalling the 3-stars themselves) and have both their ultimate tool and ultimate headwear. There are almost no glamor items for lower skill levels, and certainly none that don't at least require a rare item or two to make.

And that's before I even mention the stupidly expensive craft needed just to recolour your artifact gear! Ugh... they dropped the ball on glamor wear. I'd love to square the person in the eye who thought that up and ask them to explain themselves.

^This. So much this. SE´s Development Team has years of experience in Game design. And we? We just think its a cake walk. Come on add this and remove that..If they´d do everything the Players wants,this game would be unplayable.
It always reminds me of this Statement:"You all think you have great ideas for Pokemon games, but if I actually listened to all of you and we combined all of your ideas in a game, it would be an unplayable monstrosity. You want a game with all the regions, but only the first generation Pokemons, yet all the legendary ones and such silly things. Whenever I receive one of these rants, I go to the development floor and read it out loud to all the Game Freak employees in a mocking voice, and we all laugh at you.

I wish SE would think that way too. Just make your Game SE as you think its the best. You can.

By the divine did he really say that? Ha ha nice.

They're considering this, but most EU players don't have an issue.

How can you speak for the majority of EU userbase? We don't know how many EU players there are so we don't know what the number is for the majority of them yet you managed to take the opinion of everyone of them. That is an incredible feat. Or was this just a feeling you got after asking EU players in your FC?

Most of the time it's the route it's taking from You > Server > You that's bad, it's sadly not SE's fault

And the longer the route is the more problems it will have, that's common logic. EU players cannot do anything about it unless they move to NA but SE can make the route much shorter.

I'm not into Pokemon at all, but I think this guy just became my new hero

That's what I think so far. Hopefully it's easier to read now.

Why the hell you had no likes?
