Job Customization

[Steeled]

Or, read the thread.

I acknowledged that most "customization" in other games had best in slot choices which left you a few points to play with, and in some cases, no points. I know you're familiar with FFXI, so you quite well know that XI actually had choice for a lot of jobs. I mention red mage, and you focus on RDM in your sig, so clearly you're familiar with that.

This game presently offers you no choice in gearing. There is a best in each tier. There's no choice in stats, there's a best for that too. There's no real choice, for paladin at least, in what abilities you equip and it's not because there can't be, it's because they choices they offer are silly.

Heck, even the Myth-crafted items are linear upgrades from the non-crafted stuff. Nothing is lost, purely gained.

We may look different, but we're all ascending to be precisely the same thing on each job. Worse, there's not even any opportunity to get it wrong. If something is higher tier, you equip it, and the sub-job abilities practically place themselves.

Example: I looked up your character, and not at all to pick apart your choices, but simply that I wear, or have worn every single piece of gear you have save for Hoplite ring (in 100+ AKs, it has never dropped for me lol). That's my point. If you and I had access to the best paladin gear, we would probably be exactly the same.
