SE: Please do something about Soul Crystals

[Vidact]

Yet again today I've run into a player that has no idea about soul crystals, while I'm happy to help the 45 arcanist find his way back into a real job, there should be something in place to better guide players into the roles they need to do.
After level 30 it should be mandatory to have a crystal equipped to que into anything at the very least.

Yeah we also just recently had a level 54 lancer make a thread

Don't be elitist. They can play how ever they want to play.

This isn't being elitist, you're actively gimping yourself by not using the soul crystal. I wasn't being a dick to this guy and I wasn't mad at him, he was a newer player that wasn't directed to the crystals.

Making it mandatory for que is no fun.
I like having nights with the FC where we run absurd content without our crystals and see how far we can get.

I do think there could be more pointing players to them, but mandatory is not the way I feel it should go.

Yes and by ‘do something about soul crystals’ we mean BTN soul crystal when?

How is this being elitist? When you hot 30 there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't have the job crystal equipped. The op was just helping the person out.

I mean they could do something like what they do with group comp requirements for queueing
If you're going to get randoms, you're not allowed to queue with non-standard jobs. If you're not going to get randoms, then you can go as whatever.
Seems to work fine for me?

[Vidact]

Ok so maybe mandatory isn't the way to go, it was just the easiest thing I thought of I'm no code wizard. I'm all fora night of fun with the FC but that's a far cry from a 55 CNJ showing up to heal your roulette.

Also, yes I'd so take crystals for my non-combat jobs.

Turns out that job quests are MSQ locked. On my alt with the Road to 70 alt I was almost 40 before I finished Ifritt. I had to be careful to not queue for Qarn but I knew better. A bit hard to insist on something you can't even do yet. OTOH, I wouldn't object to making level 30+ instances job-stone mandatory except when queuing as a full party or alliance in the case of 24+ man content.
