Chugga chugga chugga chugga chooo choooooo!

Eh, no thanks. I'd prefer to avoid the mob trains. Not a fan of them before in older mmo's, don't see me suddenly changing my mind on it now.

This immediately made me think of long night in garbage citadel. Memories XD

Garbage citadel =D, 5 years of FFXI and never heard that one. Made me genuinely laugh

What i really miss is changing gears while in combat. Ive been using way less macros in FFXIV because usually hotkeys are enough now since you dont have to gear swap to maximize your damage

We kinda had that in 1.0 too! It was great Really miss those days.

Yeah I hear you. My black mage had different gear on every spell.I'm oom better swap in my hoodie for extra mp! Then I'll take it off and show you my tats while I cast lol.

I really felt bad for melee in ffxi though they had some goofy as hell gear like the o-hat ugh god.

That's nice OP! I would love to experience something like that. The closest I got was sacking in AV. lol The tank sacked some of the rooms where it was possible, we ate the death and got raised, which has the unique kink of working as the Tractor spell in FFXI. This is something people used to do a lot to skip dangerous areas back then. Yes apparently everyone was ok with not getting as much exp just to get out of there ASAP. :P

The major reason there was a dedicated "puller" in XI but doesn't need to be in XIV is because tanks actually have a ranged attack besides pebbles and Dia (WAR's Tamahawk was a merited ability at 75 iirc.)

That said, pulling was one of my favorite activities in XI. I pulled on THF. I pulled on BRD. I pulled in exp camps, I pulled in Dynamis, I pulled open world bosses. I live pulled, I sac pulled. If it moved, I pulled it. I loved the satisfying feeling of a well aimed snipe - something that we unfortunately can't get in parties in XIV since everything and its uncle links.

It add another dynamic besides sit and spam skills. I miss it too, it could have a place in this game in certain areas.

Did your party die when you pulled more than 2 mobs? Did you lose a boatload of xp when it happened? Did you have to run all the way back from your homepoint?
Did someone run a train of mob into your party cause you had their spot?

No? I guess you didn't really experience an old style camp LOL

J/k. I do sometimes miss this kind of party too. Would be kind of interesting if they threw in a few areas that would allow this in the future, so players could have even more choices on what they would like to do for levelling.

Hey, there's an idea for FF14 bards who still complain about their damage relative to other DPS:

Pull mobs back to camp and play songs. Don't bother trying to DPS. Go leave and start pulling the next set. Thanks.

I don't think thats ever coming back nor should it. If you want to group up for experience grinding theres always dungeons.
