If you're raiding you're not the average player. And as for TP bars we very much don't have party TP bars for the reason stated. Again, please stop ignoring the point at hand and look at the wider image. Hell, even the forums most likely aren't the representation of the majority fanbase. Fact of the matter is, things have to be simple, and the merit point system as presented in the OP, still has too many numbers and choices. This isn't an argument over it being easy or hard, this is an argument over it being too easy or too hard for the average player. And since the average player, according to Square themselves, gets confused by adding a TP bar next to the MP bar in the party list, the bar is set kind of low dont you think?
