    Eh, it's a good move, not players can play their best job without having to use a lesser IL job to get the piece they want.

    Now Tanks/Healers can go as Tank/healers but lot on another piece of gear they want.

    The change encourages players to go as the job they want rather than the job they need.

    I don't mind this change. It's catch up gear and our main jobs aren't going to need it. If loot is still going to be restricted to 1/week then people are still going to carefully consider which piece to roll on while making the run faster by running as their main job.

    People have said in the past that the solution to people Need rolling for seals when you need something for an upgrade, is to ask the party to pass on the items you want. If it worked then, it will work now.

    And I just wonder why they couldn't do that with a far more user friendly token system instead.

    I didn't like having to go in with a low iLvL job just for the loot priviledges either, it needlessly gimped the group, but why on earth do they have to stick with this RNG loot system? It's annoying. They can just tune the amount of tokens needed to the desired amount of runs if they're desperate to get people to repeat it.

    If you dont want to tank something, why do you need to gear up a tank?

    With this change someone can just go in there as a DD, barely do something and get the tank chest, that the tank who probably had a way longer wait time and a way harder job may have needed to gear his main job..how is that fair?

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
