No, you've completely missed the point. You would meet and interact with more people if out of the crafting classes possible you can only master 1 to max. It gives their selected mastery value, because you will be needing that goldsmither, that tanner, for different forays and to help craft that level 75 gear you want.

If everyone was able to master crafting everything, like in your example, it makes establishing an economy's value more difficult, and DoH becomes more and more something cheapened. There will be more and more crab bows in the gutters of Uldah, and crafters would not be a persued commodity in linkshells. A crafter should have worth in the game, a knowledge of trade secrets, but not the ability to corner the whole synthing business.

i have not miss anything. You said its impossible to be social without this limit on crafts i disagreed and gave examples as to why. Just because i dont NEED anyone JUST to repair does not mean WONT need TO BE SOCIAL because to do any end game i need to be soical to get gear and do raids.

you my friend have missed the point. crafts are a solo thing not a social thing.

Also You have never played game where everyone has capped everything because it will never happen. i do not even wonna TOUCH DoL and there will be people who do not want to touch DoH. never will a fanbase ever have every job capped Especially not crafting lol. thats just silly you go to the extreme to prove you point.

Well as a customer you have a choice to either pay SE or not pay SE and take your money elsewhere. It's really not the complicated.

actually i dont. SE will not refund me for the money i spent to "spend it eslewhere" I bought this game because i can level everything i wanted. i like to grind its fun for me and this MMO allows me to level everythingi want. i purchased this game for that reason so to take away that reason will be a bad move.

in short it is "complicated" because i had no clue this game was gonna limit everything it started out not limiting.

Is there any possibility to kick people who derail a thread from the thread?
Or to temporarily blacklist them so their posts don't show?

And to make sure my own post actually contributes something more valuable:

Relax. Actually the Japanese original is far less definite. The author just says that he "thinks that there was something written that somehow sounded like a restriction that only one crafting class can be mastered to the extreme". And he isn't even sure about whether he read that right.

Check this out.

Click the link, scroll down to the Land and Hand portion of the first post, read that, something along those line will probably be given, except you won't be able to unlock all the "Advanced Jobs" for the Disciples of the Hand, you will have to pick a focus. Now granted those Advanced jobs are really focused, they might make them a little more broad, but I don't think they are saying you wont be able to level up your crafting classes anymore, what about the people who have multiple rank50 DoH classes?

If you can recall, Square-Enix already said they will not do anything that forces people to reroll or alter a character that already has progressed in the game (ie having multiple rank 50s in DoH area), so yes I can see something more along the ideas of what I suggested in the link to happen more than I can see the traditional FFXI style happening.


So in light of all that, you guys shouldn't be getting too upset, sure you will have to specialize in a certain craft but its that all bad? Like some are saying it does promote being socially involved (yes I know the coin is two-sided and you can in fact have all the crafts 50 and still be social, but that is a choice; while this setup would be a mandate) My personal opinion on the matter:

Anything that further specializes the classes, I'm all for it, we are too generalized as it stands now anyway, we need things to make us different, things to make us wanted, things to make us special.

Nice post Omega

can we just please stay on topic. Rein and Eva, thanks for all the info ^^

[Jynx]

Interesting information. Thanks for the translations guys!

[Jennestia]

OMG this mmo is so gonna suck

Hope this is sarcasm, because well..XIV has always "sucked" which is why no one is playing it. Also, those who think restrictions are a bad thing, absolute freedom is why XIV is in a horrible condition class wise and no it's not "because of unbalanced stats".
