Legitimate reasons why many of you do NOT like Gear Swapping

[ThePatriarch]

But you aren't creating new ideas here... You're just continuing to hammer away at the same old gear swapping idea that SE already said they didn't want to implement.

What if gear swapping was instant, and didn't make characters blink? Inventory space is already massive. What if there were ways to implement gear swapping that isn't as clunky as the system in FFXI?

You have a lv. 60 mob that is less resistant to thunder but resists all other elements, this mob has a phase in which you need an AOE for adds during the fight, these adds are a little resistant to fire and there's more than 8 of these adds.

Tell me almighty planner...

What do you come as? THM or BLM
What stats are more important for this type of fight?

Trick question. WAR. WAR is always the answer.

I swear this choice, tired, lame defense is as piss-poor as the people who present it.

And these whining, complaining, refuse to to anything myself and expect everyone else to give me everything because I don't want to do anything myself arguments are just as pathetic as the people who present it.

Either pay what someone else is asking for the time they put into leveling their crafts or level your crafts yourself. Stop whining when the world doesn't bow to you.

How is that a new idea? It's still gear swapping, which SE already stated they were against.

Removing blinking isn't new. It was suggested already back when SE said no to gear swapping mid combat. Hell, it's been a suggestion even back in FFXI days. SE knows about this.

Oh crap, I forgot WAR!

Seriously, SE needs to add this fight so I can test party/gear setups on it. =o

Gear swapping is a universal idea. It is not native to just FFXI. I can swap my gear in every MMO out there, but they all use different systems.

What we are calling for, is a system that allows you to change gear, mid combat, in a non-invasive, easy manner.

just look at the responds of those people who aggressively promotes/forcing gear swapping to the masses in here


gear swapping {No thanks}

Which is still gear swapping mid-fight, which SE has already said they have absolutely no intention of adding as a game mechanic ever. (Regardless of the game which inspires it.)

Sleepga and kill them individually.

Or you could just have WHM Aeroga and Stonega the adds, or even double holy them with presence of mind. Also, where is this fight so I can test more spells/gear on it? =o

There's more than 8 mobs.

omg... wtf did you just read man? lol I just told you it resists all other elements. Fuck it... I was right this is like arguing with Obamabots. Selective reading, hearing, thinking.. You win.. no seriously you automatically win because I don't want to continue lol.

lol...the fight already exists.


The amount of MACC, Thunder Attack Potency, Fire Attack Potency, INT etc.. etc.. ISN'T ENOUGH unless you can pull off 5 melds of tier IV with a mixture of all these stats and then some on every single piece of gear from head to toe + the weapon.

If that's the case... I hope you have over 100M+ gil or one of the luckiest players in the game. lol

InB4 I'm called an elitist now.

Why? SE has ALREADY said they are against gear swapping mid combat. They weren't playfully joking when they said this.

They never intended it to be in FFXI and they don't want it to happen again in FFXIV. This is a game design decision that they have made.
