"Revamped" Rewards System

[Mijin]

Everything in the game is designed to keep you playing. . . And just because WoW does it doesnt mean everything that happens in WoW will happen here.

Oh noez i see an exp bar and a mini map on my screen, must be like WoW. WoW didn't really create as much as it made renovation to preexisting systems. And while it may not be everyone's favorite game they obviously did enough right that even with a subscription they reached millions of players.

SE wouldnt be wise to try and make another WoW as WoW is WoW - and is still alive. However, there are tips they can take (That WoW has taken from other mmo's :P, also can look at other big mmo's for what they do well/not. Like GW2 has a better sense of working together, no bitching who gets the first or last hit).

I hope they make ideas their own as well though, like when they do token systems perhaps they can blend it into the game in a less obvious way - like crafting material drops and such that are a more natural sense of getting items.

I'd like to remind you that wow clones never work.

He's not saying it should be a WoW clone. He's saying it's not a bad thing to adapt good ideas from other MMOs to XIV. FFXIV tried too hard to be different at its initial launch, which was part of its failing. There are also a lot of other features that set XIV apart from other MMOs, namely being able to switch not only from job to job, but between job and class. I hope they give us more uses for the classes, though, because the class-only gear looks nice.

I don't thing borrowing ideas is bad either I just don't like this one. I would have rather them copied XI's system than WoW's system here, but I'll wait and see how it turn out to decide if I really hate it or not. I just don't like the sound of it so far is all.

You been playing with wow system system for a while now FFXIV has replaced my pgl gear so many times since Darkhold came out the only equip that has been the same is my leg/hands equip everything else has been constantly changing every single update.

I don't want XI's system again cause when your sitting at 75 pld in XI @ one point with Aegis shadow mantle and all the other godly equip you can think of, then when they release new content your grinding your ass off for a piece of armor that has 1 extra % haste on it or 1 extra vit or def or sometimes nothing at all. WoW system works people like it and most ppl here wouldn't even be able to have most of wow's hardest to obtain gear cause they are use to lol tank in one spot fights. XI's gear system is the reason they lost a ton of players ppl was use to having the best for so long when they finaly raised the cap after seven years when they said they never would people got pissed.
