Legitimate reasons why many of you do NOT like Gear Swapping

am I reading your post? Do I even exist, or is this all in your mind....clearly you fail to grasp the concept he was discussing :P

but to be fair it's a pretty tough concept.

And, actually that is the response I always get to any application of René Descartes lol......

it goes like this

"hey , nothing exists....it's all in your head."

"Oh yes it does, because I am talking to you duh!"

"Are you? or am I just all in your head?"

"UhhhHHhhh, leave me alone Jake! you are weird!"

"Am I ? Or are YOU weird because I am just a figment of your psyche? "

Anyhow....

I feel like gear swapping should be replaCES with a more fun dynamic BATTLE system that does not need gear swapping , you know?

Kinda like what you perceive as normal may be entirely different from what I perceive as normal, so it ends up all being a matter of context?

Actually I think he is more referring to perception of the truth and reality itself. Separating the two is more difficult than people give credit for. A fact is a fact based on the perception of a person(s). If my perception(s) is/are different then the fact(s) are different or do not exist at all. Hence perception is 9/10 reality. The other 1/10 is doubt, fear or instinctual skepticism. Both the 9/10 and the 1/10 are based on thought or reaction and since that is true then there is a distinct possibility that reality would change or cease to exist if we were to change our perceptions. At least that's what I got from it .

To apply that concept to our current forum topic.

How far down the "fantasy" hole do we want to go. Are ninja flips by mages ok now? Do we allow gear swapping at will in any location or situation? Do we allow skills to be mixed and matched by any class/job?

The real question is...what is your perception of how this game should be and what we should be capable of and how to balance that out while considering content. If you feel like a Dev now then your are starting to understand their job. Good Luck guys .
