Do NOT make the same mistake as FFXI.

Do you really think players WANT to change their playstyle? The playstyle is as unique as our own individual personalities - it is a reflection of our preferences and tastes. If we are forced to change it, we are in essence being made to deny ourselves our real identities.

Square Enix is an idiot for this. (They are also idiots for failing to understand and apply the concept of incremental moderation in effecting changes to their product.)

Well that's a bit unrealistic.

There's no MMO out there that allows you to play *exactly* the way you might want to. In every MMO, - even classless, purely skill-based ones - your playstyle is always limited within the confines of what the game allows.

There are always compromises.

To that end, expecting a game developer to alter a game to allow every single individual person to play *exactly* the way they'd *like* to if they could is unrealistic.

It's one thing to say you're unhappy with the changes SE has made.

But it's rather far-fetched and bordering on hyperbolic to argue that they're denying you the ability to reflect your "true identity".
