    If so called "bland" helps keep things in check and doesn't result in imbalance in the way FFXI most definitely was, then yes, I will take bland any day. FFXIV's system has a ton more depth than you think. As I said in a previous post, being overly complex in your stats/hot bar does not equal depth. The content itself is the depth.

    It call work that require effort on the part of developers and player feed back, just doing nothing isn't a solution either it being part of the problem. Relying on your previous post does prove anything that's your experience just as mine are. Believe it or not there are different players out there that would argue otherwise of your vision of depth and IMO its pretty boring.

    If that is how you feel then suggest how to improve the content, not how many bells and whistles you can put on a character. Putting pointless stats on a character isn't going to magically make the game better.

    Yet is that not what the dev team has been doing? Like Parry?

    Suggest clicking my name and find those post, I'm under no obligation to you, your not a developer so that point is mute. Nothing will never magically happen with that attitude if your only suggestion is to do nothing either keep at it though.

    You must have that response on Macro because that's the same type of response you always give. When someone does give the response, you try to either ignore the idea and brush over it or defend how you don't want any change whatsoever. You say you played and enjoyed XI and wouldn't mind some stuff from XI. I personally don't believe you. Everything you want, wants to follow XIV's limited, boring, mash buttons, same old same old each patch formula.

    There is no point in adding stuff if it doesn't solve the very core issue at hand. You've already contradicted yourself numerous times on these statements.

    Again, why can't you give a proper reason why? You can keep beating around the bush with me all day, but you have no solid proof it would work for a mass audience, which this game caters to for better or worse. Unless you want to admit the concept heavily caters in favor of a niche audience.

    Hello pot, have you met kettle? Also, where exactly have I said I don't want FFXIV to change at all or where I said I will completely dismiss every idea from FFXI because it is FFXI? You actually illustrate a previous post I made where I said people arguing with me only see the negative points and determine that is all I am about. Please actually read my posts.

    Here's an example. You said you wouldn't mind HNM. You said you want it to follow the guildlines of XIV. That's what Diadem is and look at it now...

    This is the part where you can't be taken seriously anymore. Every FFXI like concept you bring in has to follow the rules of the core of the game. Let me ask, are you asking for FFXI concepts in FFXIV, or are you asking them to full out remake the game again and call it FFXI-2? Because the second one isn't realistic. The first option is realistic for better or worse.

    So which is it?

    Would it be crazy to think the reason I don't offer my own suggestion is because I am fine with the game's systems? Suggest something that isn't broken? If anything, I preach they get rid of accuracy and rework parry. The only real major issue this game has is balancing the casual/midcore/hardcore audience, which can be fixed within the current systems in place, not just scrap it and rework it.

    I also never said the game doesn't need new content, and as I explained to your friend up here, because neither of you can actually read my posts that I am open minded to content from other MMO's in here, FFXI in particular. I am however against it's systems and how it approaches horizontal. Things like Salvage, ZNM's, and so on can work.

    Really, whats the point of having to explain myself constantly if all you guys can't even read my posts correctly.
