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

[Tiraelina]

Uh, Yoshida himself said a lot of calculations and algorithms in FFXIV were overly complex. So if anything, you should be saying SE is making out their game to be more complicated than it is, since you know their code better than they do apparently.

Btw:

So no, it's not making it out to be "overcomplicated", because in order to properly scale attributes in games it does require an algorithm, which is nothing more than math, versus just setting a set value which no one can argue isn't much easier to balance than having to make sure something is balanced in almost every instance at every level.



Aside Materia, this is exactly it. Remember, this is a game going under an overhaul and still pretty much in development.

Optimal already did/does what you are stating would be hard to implement, how hard is that to understand? 1.19 made optimal gear worse than everything 5 levels below you if you are 1 level off.
