Tank Gear's Value for the Future.

[Kaurie]

This entire list scares me...Housing should be free? Ever heard of the Tragedy of the Commons?

Adding Parsers will totally shun players who are trying to learn their class.
Remove Mindless Grind? You mean removing one of the key parts of what defines an MMO?
Melee losing positionals? Ya sure! lets just mash buttons and make all DPS boring as all get out.
Healer damage should NEVER be nerfed. If that were the case, They we would never ever see a lvl 60 WHM/SCH/AST because they can't dps their own solo quest content.

I am not sure if you've played many other MMO's, but I've played plenty where positionals are not part of the skills - and the combat is not just a random button mash fest.

Free housing was given in Wildstar and imo the housing was one of the best features of Wildstar. I'd recommend checking it out.

I disagree about the parsers shunning players, but ultimately, we could have a 200 page argument about it and at the end I'd still feel the same way I do now and you'd still feel the same way you do now. So let's just preemptively agree to disagree.

Healers could have specs in the way that every other MMO works so that you can DPS in the open world and heal in grouped content.

I think mindless grinds are not great game design and content could be done in better ways.

PS: Care to elaborate on how you are applying tradgedy of the commons to this situation?



EDIT Forum count hit

As it stands, housing is in fair abundance depending on what server you are on. If housing were made free, everyone would want a house of their own. They would keep a lock and key on all of the Mansion level houses. People who do not play as often would own 5 different houses in their area and players searching for a house for their FC will have no way of contacting them IRL. Many people have more than 1 mansion in the game, and yet, in my opinion, they don't deserve it. We also can't forget server load on the houses that have been taken. Once someone gets rid of the house they owned, there will be 500 other players waiting at their front door to take it. Housing should be earned by a group of people willing to save up for one and call it their own. It is also a mark that you leave on the server as a Free Company that could be well known.

I think you misunderstood my housing request. I want it like Wildstar where everyone is given 1 housing plot. You don't buy them, you don't sell them, you don't own more than one, there are no limited number of plots available. Each character gets 1 period.
