So what your gonna cry cause someone did 20 more damage then you? And that's your argument? Bring something more legitimate to the table besides: "OMG I might get offended by a person who thinks they are better then me! D: "
Bring something better to the table than "SE has changed direction when the project lead has switched has so anything is possible".
SE (no, not SE, Yoshi, the current lead and demi-god governing FFXIV's development) has said he has absolutely no intention of adding gear swapping as a battle mechanic but you keep bringing it up, insisting it's relevant because you want it.
I didn't bring it up. Did you even see the OP? I am joining in on the discussion. Something you are not doing. All you are trying to do is end it. So why don't you end your part in it and stop replying? Then the people here that actually wanna talk about it can get back to doing just that. K? Thanks.Bring something better to the table than "SE has changed direction when the project lead has switched has so anything is possible".

Then stop defending it if you're not bringing it up...I didn't bring it up. Did you even see the OP? I am joining in on the discussion. Something you are not doing.

The people here (particularly the OP) are trying to make a case for why it should be in the game, completely ignoring everything the devs have said because they want to see it added.
lol.. no. Just no.
Do you parse? If not... then don't comment on the differences between DPS, HPS, damage taken, crit rates etc.. because that's just a waste of a post.
Just for your information.. I play PLD right... and most of the time I'm waiting on timers. So it's understandable for someone as slow as you to not like gear swapping.
No hate, it's cool.. you're probably just a casual player (more talking less action) with 190/200 items in inventory, and a slow DSL internet connection, with a crappy DELL desktop computer with an onboard GPU as your video card.
Or better yet, wait for it... waaaaait for it...
A DELL laptop with Windows XP!!
AMIRITE?!?!

Hi, I'd like you to meet FFXIAH, where every damage SS is the effect of a gear proc or mob weakness.
Also, this is exactly the reason I want SE to keep gear swaps out of the game. This kind of min/max "if you don't parse you is teh sux" elitism.
Well then that went over your head. If you don't parse you don't see the huge differences in gear swapping.
It's like teaching someone stocks.. you don't put all your eggs in one basket, you spread it around to maximize returns and have a lesser chance of failure.
But haaaaiiiii I guess that's just too much brain power for many of us

It's not definitive. Unless you can give me a direct quote with the source. From my understand, after doing a crap ton of google searches it appears that, "FOR NOW" there is no gear swapping until there is a demand for it. Supply and Demand... he wants this game to survive he's going to play by the market rules... otherwise all that investing and losing of money will be for nothing and even worst, shameful.
Just keepin' it real.

Using a program someone else created to max the effectiveness of macro templates that other people created so you can brag about dealing 250-300 extra damage over the course of a 20 minute fight is brain power now?Well then that went over your head. If you don't parse you don't see the huge differences in gear swapping.

By the way, this is a great argument for why gear swapping will never be added. The fact that you think parsing gives you the privilege, nay THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT to snub your nose at everyone who doesn't do it is exactly what give gear swapping a bad name and makes people call you an elitist.
