Required Class/Rank failed - Can we have Optimal Rank and Favoured Class back?

[ellohwell]

Not to mention every MMO I've played from the 90s to now have some sort of restriction or requirement on gear. It's pretty standard RPG fare.

Funny how when jump is "standard mmo fare" you are against it, but when it's anything pertaining to FFXI, you're all for it. People will use the "it's a standard!" argument to support anything they want, but really that is not a good argument at all.

After all, regardless of whether it is "standard" or not, a system should be argued on its own merits. Preserving the status quo "just because that's how it has always been done" is not a sound basis for an argument.

The Optimal Rank system was not standard. It was above standard.
