On the Removal of Positionals

[W00by]

No to everything.
They add nothing at all....

You seem to think that you are a majority, which isn't the case. The majority hate FFXIV positional.

Also, if FFXIV postional was so damn good, dozen of MO would have them which... isn't the case at all.
On the majority of MMO postional are situational.... Mostly used by Rogue/Thief/Assassin llike class (Backstab while being cloaked) or, they have mostly CC attached to them.

FFXIV Positional are just plainly bad, useless and not fun at all.... Seriously, what the point of doing back and forth just for a measly 40 or 60 potency? Where is the fun in that? and especially since ALL the DPS have true North, a skill that cancel those positional (so it's clear that SE is aware how bad this gameplay mechanic is, and how annoyg it is)
If i want "action" on a MMO i will go play BDO.... But on a Tab Targeted MMO, positional always been rare and, like i said, were always tied to Rogue/Thief/Assassin like class or situational CC.

I never encountered discussion about positional, like the hundred we have on FFXIV, on any other MMO.... So i think you should start to wonder why.

Would you care to explain why it's "no to everything"? If you look at my more recent posts in this thread, I've supplied substantial information about why I firmly believe in these statements.

In contrast, you have made a blanket "no" statement and provided a hollow argument about other games. First off, there are other games with positionals, but also ... FFXIV isn't every other game? I don't want FFXIV to be just like any other game, so does it really matter if it has a mechanic that every other game doesn't? After all, if you want to play a game without positionals, you can go play one of those other MMOs :^)

I don't think I'm in the majority across FFXIV. But I firmly believe we melee players enjoy positionals, and that most people who make takes like yours don't main melee, especially not at a high level -- which, no offense, is obviously the case for you as well.
