Please remove accuracy

The problem of accuracy, as I reiterate, is its all or nothing aspect of it.

It unduely penalizes entry level gear, and ends up being useless or bloated for those in endgame gear. It is the only stat in the game where you must get "enough of" but never "too much" of.

It is also the only stat in the game that can seriously change your rotation - a miss is very painful. It is funny to me because those that argue for its existence really argue for it to not exist - because as long as it exists your primary job is to make sure it doesn't...that you always land every attack. That is...hilarious.

As to that guy that seems to be taking this personally - I just like discussing this. I don't really care if they change it or not, but I certainly don't think the game is any better for it. What a terrible attitude to have on the forums though...it is a fact that any forum thread is guaranteed to not actually impact their decision making, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk. You've given up before even started.

As for the gearing ramifications, I guess I am not following your complaints. Without accuracy you have more gearing choices, not less. Instead of going "ugh, I can't take that piece, I'll drop under accuracy" you'll go "hmm, I wonder if the increase to crit is worth the loss in det" etc, moreso than currently. I fail to see how this makes the game simpler or less interesting, if really staring at numbers is your thing rather than going out and killing stuff. And in that spirit of "lets go out, get phat loots and work together to kill a dragon", the last thing I want to see is my wonderful attack missing, or the middle attack in a combo missing and screwing up all my timings (monk and dragoon especially).

Lastly I want to address the whole "accuracy v. evasion" thing. There can be one without the other. If the goal is to allow people to dodge - let them dodge, this is a game mechanic and a cooldown that makes sense. If everyone has baseline 100% chance to hit - you can still have Featherfoot give you 20% chance to dodge or whatever - its clear to player what is happening, and it allows you to tweak passives and actives without being bogged down by scaling numbers. I am all for more player knowledge - this obfuscation of what accuracy is, how much you need, etc. just ends up being another vague SE stat which we don't really understand.

If you want autoattacks to miss 10% of the time, okay! If you want a certain skill to always have a lower hit chance (like thunder in pokemon), okay! Do it with percents and very obvious information, not a "get and forget" stat.

Oh I'm not taking anything personally. I just think people on these forums complain entirely too much about "problems" that, are at very worst, trivial. Occasionally, someone brings up a valid complaint. This, is not one of them, and there are probably about 5000 things they should fix before worrying about such a non issue. In truth, removing accuracy, would not change my day whatsoever, however, the simple fact that it is completely unnecessary is enough for me to stand against the idea. Let's let the mods who actually do read through all this tripe looking for good ideas to really make a positive difference in the game, get back to reading those, rather than being distracted by nonsense like this.
