Miner changes unfair

[RoosterAgathos]

Sounds like OP grinded to 50 in 1.0 like i did..

Do i feel cheated? nope. Why? Because i made a ungodly amount of gil in the process.. you already had a reward.. all that gil you made and the ability to farm items those who were not 50 at launch could not... and make MORE gil then them...

What this boils down to is another sense of entitlement.

They need to give current miners something to make up for this. Why spend your time doing anything in this game if they are going to make it easier and easier for everyone else? I feel cheated. I wasted all this time leveling miner and now they are trying to make it something that can be done in half the time.

How exactly is this change going to negatively affect you?

There is no correlation between this change and whether your time leveling was wasted or not. If you believe having a max-level miner is a benefit, then that benefit remains intact. If you believe having a max-level miner is useless, then indeed you wasted your time, but regardless of this change.

LOL Most of us knew something like this was going to eventually happen, and it's going to happen next Tuesday.
So you got till then to sell at the prices you have up now, although smart buyers would probably wait till Tuesday till the actual prices start dropping rapidly

You are just plain insane if you think an extra 50xp/swing is going to make thousands of players become miners/botanists overnight. Maybe it will make more players start it, but the tedium of gathering in this game is not going to appeal to very many people and a lot will quit soon after they begin.

Now that's the biggest load of crock I have ever read on these forums. Please stop trying to assume how things work around here. If people see that mining/botany is easier, they will do it more often. That is the most common of senses and it is downright shameful that you can't see that.

Lol.

The most common of senses? Please stop trying to sound smart when, in fact, you aren't. But that's fine. If you want to remain living in your fantasy world that with a few added xp, the grind of swinging a pickaxe all day is going to magically disappear, then by all means you keep that winning attitude!!

Stop licking the windows, though. People use those, for....looking....

I don't agree with whining that others will be getting it easier while you had to work harder.

But making leveling Botanist and Miner even faster was and is completely unnecessary. The game hasn't even been out for 2 months yet, but there are already plenty of players that have both Botanist and Miner at level 50. FFXIV is supposed to last for years, everyone has more than enough time to get these two classes to 50. This change is just stupid and is only good for people that want to "beat FFXIV", and pack up and leave for the next game as soon as possible.

That's because many botted to get there.

Sure dude.

Leveling DoL is even easier in 2.0 than it was in 1.0, and I leveled both in 1.0. Do you see me complaining about it?

Nope.

[Ronzeru]

I just got done leveling my miner 48 hours ago from 1 - 50. Then 'this'.

Needless to say, I almost /wrist'd.

[Tahldon]

Good grief. Every, single change that is made, there is someone on the forums to complain about it.

That old saying of "You can never please everybody" continues to go strong here. They change one thing, someone complains, they cater to that complaint, someone else starts complaining.

Whatever happened to people just drinking the kool-aid? Hell's bells.
