Can Accuracy and Parry be removed already?

[Kosmos992k]

Accuracy is a stat that takes no skill at all. It just means if you don't have enough you can't hit. There is no challenge involved in this process. Its called "Luck".

No, hold on, you say this and someone else above called accuracy a 'binary stat'. If your accuracy is below cap, you will still hit, just a bit less often. Of course if your accuracy is well below the accuracy cap, you'll hit much less often and many more combos will be lost. Accuracy is exactly like every other stat in the game that either acts as a modifier on an RNG value, or directly affects a particular aspect of your character.

But, you're saying if you don't have enough you can't hit, and that's not really true in practice. Just by having level appropriate gear and accessories a character will have some accuracy even if it's not that great. As such they can still hit things, but the might miss more often. Of course you can stack accuracy and cap it where you'll never miss, because FFXIV allows Accuracy to cap at 100% chance of hitting, where FFXI apparently capped it at 95% chance.

Either way, there is no such thing as luck, there is just random chance and whatever happens happens.
