Classes are dreadfully boring to play at lv 50 and below. Something needs to be done.

Adjust level sync to not lose any actions, or give us all actions at lvl 50. It's inevitable, current system will eventually kill this game, if you will have to press 3 buttons till level 70 a lot of new players will bounce off (they already do it in ARR).

Considering the latest unofficial population numbers you guys could not be farther from the truth. The game is going strong and will be for a very long time. ENJOY IT!

I came close to bouncing for this reason. I made an alt to just try to recapture the "magic" got to about 40 and was like wut.

When the game was newer, your level 50 hotbar had about as much buttons as it does at level 80 now.

I do think it's kinda lame to havel lvl 50 and below stuff be pretty much two or three buttons, but I think the only reasonable fix would be to make it so that the basic version of every skill is unlocked by lvl 50, and everything past that point is skill upgrades. Upgrading Broil to Broil II and such, maybe occasionally adding mechanics to your already existing skills.

I was leveling summoner lately, I was surprised to find out that from lvl 70 to 80, no actual new hotbar buttons get added, it's all stuff that gets added to your already existing skills. Basically, they'd have to make it like that for every class in the game from lvl 50 to 80 (or 90 in the coming expac)

Just because it's popular doesn't make it good.

They definitely need to redesign it so you have the standard combos, AoEs and other mechanics before level 15. At least at a partial potency and then gets upgraded afterwards.

Not too sure about the gameplay shift for higher levels like how SMN gains the Demi mechanic at 70, and how BLM gets the Enochian system at 60. To be honest it would be better if they were gained at level 50 and potencies get upgraded afterwards, because some jobs really suffer from the incompleteness.

While I agree, you have to keep in mind SE is still a business and wants as many customers as it gets. If their current design is gaining them players, I see no real reason why they should consider, for themselves, to stop.

I agree that level sync should allow us to keep the skills we've already learned. However, I think it is a huge stretch to say that the current system will kill the game. Let's keep things reasonable, yeah?

Point taken. Look at WoW.

Yeah. I'm a long time WoW player (and FF XIV player) and I ended up bowing out of their latest expansion about 2 weeks in. It's...questionable to put it mildly, in more than a few ways. Heck, they even started sending out very lengthy surveys already. They usually don't do that unless it's ugly behind the scenes.
