When we gonna get ITEM upgrade NPC for ILVL like wow

[Yoona]

I wouldn't mind doing Magian Trials like FFXI...

I am paying to play Final Fantasy not World of Warcraft clone. If I want a World of Warcraft clone, I will just play World of Warcraft. Get that now?

How is taking features from other games all of a sudden make it a clone of that game. You people have a warped definition of clone.

When do we get horadric cube so we can transmute darklight and allagan gear? They can call it dallagan or dark allightgan or allagarklight +1

WoW has dragons. We should get rid of dragons!
WoW has grass. Lets get rid of the grass!
WoW has magic. Abolish all magic!
WoW has clouds in the sky. There better not be ANY clouds in FFXIVs sky!
WoW has snowy zones. Coerthas is clearly an unoriginal WoW clone zone.

Seriously, do you understand how ridiculous the "WoW clone" argument is? As has been already said, just because it's in WoW doesn't mean it's the devil and a terrible idea. There are some absolutely amazing ideas in that game, some of which are this one.

i'm sure all of this was in FF XI before WoW came out ^^

[Sinth]

When we gunna get first person aimed projectiles like Asheron's Call? ENHANCE MUH EXPURIUNCE!

And it was all in MMOs before FFXI came out (*'-')

The people pointing out that sharing ideas of other games =/= copying are quite correct. There are standards that should be in all MMOs and there is nothing wrong with games of the same genre sharing common mechanics.

However, this particular idea from the OP is worthless. Once you have Darklight, you save for Mythology gear or you do CoB for Allagan gear. There's no need for reforgers.

Lol @ people who misuse the word clone.

Anyhoo, I think this is a good idea. We need actual variation in class abilities in my opinion. If you see 4 WHM's with the same gear, there wont be any difference between them maybe besides materia, which dcoesn't really change or adapt spells to fit a new purpose. If they can make blue/purple only materia that changes skills, like say after your regen ends, your target is healed for 25% of the damage actually healed, or you gain x% defense everytime you are hit while using rampart for 10 seconds, stuff like that. Allow people to branch off a bit more so each class by class comparison isn't so generic.
