Idea: Merit system

[Enkidoh]

Also FFXI's Merit System was to compensate for it's level cap being frozen at level 75 for something like eight years - FFXIV is constantly raising the cap ten levels every time a new expansion comes out so it's not necessary at this time. Maybe when we hit level 99 they might introduce something like that. But for the near future at least, it probably won't happen.

At a level 99 they've introduced Job Points in addition to Merit Points and ended up implementing an iLevel system on top to compensate the fact they cannot go above level 99 due to a technicality. Then they have equipment restricted by "Superior" grades, which are tiered and gained after spedning certain amounts of job points.

I expect the way this game is coded probably won't find itself hitting hurdles like this where they have to creatively think of new forms of job progression for new content. I expect like WoW, we'll not be capped at level 99 but get to 100, 110 and so on.
