Legitimate reasons why many of you do NOT like Gear Swapping

[illriginalized]

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.

GEAR SWAPPING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FFXI!!!!!

RPGs ALL have gear swapping. FFS this game can't get anymore duller than it is now... and I continue to play and invest in FFXIV in HOPES that 2.0 isn't a flopping let down.

The most very basic essentials of all MMOs / RPGs is missing from this game.. essentials that makes the games dynamic, enjoyable, challenging... ffs we don't even have a class/job that can solo jobs 10 levels above 50.

LOLOL!! Wait... Let me take you seriously for half a second... Nope I can't. XD

Why bother to make macros to swap up stuff that take up inventory that could be used for other things? Do you really not see your lapse in logic here?

No. 200 slots of inventory and you're complaining about inventory space? lol

You don't have to take me seriously.... because the mental caliber differences between you and I... is astounding, almost as if I should feel elite compared to you.

And I'm actually the humble type.

You elitist.

Your ideas promote challenge, we don't want that!

It's no wonder our education system fails miserably lol... competition is bad, mmmkay?

BUT IT'S STILL GEAR SWAPPING, WHICH SE HAS SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADD TO THE GAME.

ffs, no job at any level can solo something 10 levels above them. It's one of the many adjustments SE made when they removed the stamina bar.

(Turning on caps lock does not make your argument more persuasive or relevant by the way.)

No. 200 slots of inventory and you're complaining about inventory space? lol (inventory WILL be dropping to 100 for sure, but that's irrelevant as its not implemented yet)

You don't have to take me seriously.... because the mental caliber differences (if you are measuring only mental caliber its only difference -not plural-) between you and I... is astounding, almost as if I should feel elite compared to you.

If you're going to talk down like that to someone, fail less in your post. If you try to talk down to someone and make so many mistakes.... you look very silly.

Ohhh I get it... you were able to understand my post.. instead of rebuts you just tear down the grammatical errors made in the post. What is it that they call it in debate teams? A Red Herring?

Awesome!~

Didn't debate your points, said if you want to be an ass, do it properly. I even provided a good example of how to do this. I made my points on gear swap previously in other posts. Also you shouldn't ask for legit reasons as someone has pointed out recently, but dismiss everyone who doesn't agree with you. If you were just trollin everyone then grats it worked, however, I've seen many LEGIT REASONS in here already.

Still you go ahead and alienate yourself with unnecessary attacks. I went back and found this reply of yours:

Ok so swappable materia on the fly. How about that?

Look I think it's silly that I have to be stuck wearing PLD AF (which is horrible... HORRIBLE) the whole time during a battle... when in reality all I want those AF pieces is just for the ability boosts it gives me. For example I'd macro in chest piece just for cover use... why the hell would I wear the af body the whole time when I have something much much much much better? It doesn't make sense.. it is illogical.

Sure swappable materia why not? Why not being able to equip your AF with much better stats that your other gear has so you can wear that pretty AF? That would be very cool.

You see? If you stay civil you might actually get somewhere.

Calm down buddy. I'm talking about FFXIV, not FFXI.

Gear swapping doesn't define the MMO genre just because a lot of other MMOs utilize it. What does it matter what other MMOs do? This is FFXIV.

What other MMOs do doesn't change the fact that SE is against implementing gear swapping mid combat into FFXIV. In fact, it probably only strengthens SE's resolve to do something a little more unique.

I'm calm.. I just want to make sure everyone can easily read that this has nothing to do with FFXI, rather that it is an essential part of the RPG genre.

It is you anti-FFXI people who have to have things differently just because FFXI had it.. that's the problem with this game.. SE attempted to evolve the RPG genre with their "unique" ideas in FFXIV... which horrifically killed the sales of this game, took me 1 year to even consider buying the game.

The best way I can explain this game.. it is a retard with missing genes and the genes that do exist a portion of them are mutated to the point of uselessness.

And instead of letting it die naturally, you have it hooked up to a respirator... parts of this game needs to die.. parts of this game needs to change, and there are parts of the RPG "DNA", if you will, that this game lacks and NEEDS in order to survive or even be considered an RPG for that matter.

I agree with this statement, but this is not one of those things. Gear swap has jackshit to do with a game bein RPG.

Then lets just get rid of stats altogether. What's the point if you can't utilize them appropriately for situations. Like I said... there's nothing dynamic about NOT having gear swapping. Better yet lets not called it gear swapping, just call it, "stat swapping".
