I guess it's time

But copypasting Warlock and plopping the Summoner title on it is A okay right.

Honestly, warlock has more depth than XIV's summoner, but yeah it does play heavily like an affliction warlock. What boggles my mind is the general acceptance that summons should be locked into types and that's ok. Titan = tank for solo | Ifrit = melee | Garuda = Ranged. Where as with XI or even wow, your pets had certain buffs and specialties associated with them beyond the typical pet trinity. For example from XI, carbuncle could heal and provide a buff that enhanced protection buffs. Titan could provide stoneskin. WoW, you had a pet that could do interrupts and dispel buffs/one that could cleanse your wounds etc.

A majority of the original ideas that this game has came up with have failed. The whole class/job thing. Mostlikely wont see anymore classes. Cross-class skill system? Somehow they need to deal with that since they probably wont add more classes to the game. Diadem? LoV? Golden Saucer in general? lol.

There's nothing wrong with using other games' ideas or even trying new ones. The problem is with the forethought and execution. This game doesn't have a PTS to test things before they go live. Its just patched and 'enjoy.' So yeah people are gonna be upset when this stuff fails, cause it was never properly tested. As for other game ideas being lackluster, gear used to have set bonuses but a alas 'balancing issues' or whatever excuses they dont exist anymore nor do equip effects. FATEs should give something when you leave the zone since they wanna copy things from rift. At least that game does that much with their open world content.

Again, nothing wrong with them trying, but the lack of proper practice that is not showing any signs of change ruffles quite a few feathers.

Will have even less depth once Glamour egis is implemented. Unless they completely overhaul the job, Players would just lock on Garuda's skill set and new egis, should SE add more, wont have much depth outside of it's appearance.

Then it's even worse then I thought. If they pull from other MMO's and ultimately put out an inferior product then what the idea was pulled from it doesn't look all that good to begin with.
