Allowing Gear Change in Active Mode

[Pofo]

I really don't get why there's so much aggression towards this idea, even if they added a system that allowed us to change gear in active mode that doesn't mean you HAVE to use it. If you want to be the gimp who does everything in a single gearset that's your choice, no one is forcing you to make gear swap macros. However, for those of us who like to better ourselves, and become even more versatile in all situations, I think it would be a fine addition to the system.

And in regards to what CrystalWeapon said about the Dev. response to this topic, the XI Dev. team also said for years that they were never releasing a cap beyond 75 and they were very firm on that. Look how that turned out. Minds change with time and feedback, so this is no different, there's still a chance it can be implemented.

Right, and once they implement a change like this you either do it or be gimp, as you say. Therefore, we are forced to do it.

i agree with this for the most part. Let ppl who want to do it, do it. I LOVED it in 11 it made it convenient. and to the ppl who complain "Waaaah i cant heal or target the tanks or dd cause they blink alot" just make the macros that target the PT list its not rocket science.

You don't lose target during blinks in this game so it wouldn't be an issue anyway.
