Does fatigue have a purpose?

i think we need to stop making same thread over and over again.

The system is in place to entice players to level more than 1 class.

The armoury system (that everyone is also complaining about) already accomplishes this. This in no way explains why we have to be 'forced' to level another class.

It's true that the system really doesn't differ in theory from the World of Warcraft system.
Now, I don't want to roll around comparing every in and out of FFXIV to WoW...I'd like to see a genuine departure from what the MMO world has become comfortable with. The problem for most players probably lies in the system description. Calling it "fatigue" suggests a penalty, while calling it "rested XP" suggests a bonus. Either way, if you want a leveling bonus you'll have to take a break or switch your class/character. Obviously taking a break and keeping your character at minimum fatigue for leveling produces relatively the same result as leveling for the same amount of time with fatigue.

It's world of complaints out there. The fatigue system just isn't anything new, as people have noted. If you're alright with a video game company issuing the equivalent of nap times to the consumer then SE should probably be focusing on other aspects of game play.

Now i know what the team said about preventing excess grinding but why am i penalized for wanting to level a class? Since the game is like a b2p beta right now i don't complain much but if i was paying for it why am i forced to stop having fun? Maybe i missed something but would love if this was explained to me if there is some sort of bonus involved(and if the bonus is worth it).

Fatigue is hardly even noticeable unless you are super hardcore, with that said it isn't doing what it is intended to do so might as well scrap it.

"Except FFXIV you lose more SP the longer you play. You can actually get down to 0 SP. Its NOT the same as WoW. WoW gives you rested XP and Normal XP. Normal XP is exactly that, the normal amount. You wont lose anymore XP for playing longer. FFXIV surplus LASTS FOR A FULL FUCKING WEEK, and you LOSE MORE SP THE LONGER YOU PLAY. Its a punishment for players who play the game. "

To clear this, you can be on the game for hours on end. Fatigue is only effect by sp/exp getting. And is only one class. Meaning all your classes start our rests and only lvling that class will your rested state decrease.
This is prob who they don't want quest mobs to give sp, since it will be counted tward fatigue. So you are not punished for playing. Just for lvling 1 class for too long. Like in real life. Just switch to another class or log off and take a break. Or better yet do other stuff like exploring instead of always lvling.

lol explore the 5 zones with repeated layers and nothing to do out there? Ya ok, I'll get right to it. We are being punished, if you think otherwise you are a dumbass.
