Request: AoE range indictator

[Akujin]

Can anyone give me a good reason how this would possibly hurt the game, in a whole, if something was to be used as an optional toggle on and off range indicator. Something that is real and that I've overlooked, that by doing so could in some way inadvertidly effect the game's mechanics.

And no, personal grievence doesnt count. Its an opinion, a feeling, doesnt actually hold influence over how the game is played. It may differ from how YOU want to play, but it wouldn't actually affect the experience itself for YOU if you didnt allow it.

Anyone? Also..bumpity bump, I refuse to let this thread get buried!

How does this hurt the game? It makes for bad players. Same as PLing someone to 50 in a week. I don't want a community full of noobs who don't know how to play their jobs or rely on 3rd party programs to do everything for them. Have you ever tried a pickup party in XIV? It's 100x worse than any pickup party I had in XI (mind you I quit before abyssea). All of these indicators don't make people better, they just make it easier to watch TV while you play or knit or whatever people do instead of pay attention and make the experience of partying better for everyone involved.

Adding a toggle won't do anything except make lazy players click a box. By the time 2.0 comes out with all these indicators we're going to need 3rd party programs just to REMOVE all of this nonsense and be able to see the mobs we're trying to kill.



NO THANKS!
