1:I'm wondering if there's any plans of using a merit point system like in FFXI? it would give people something to do with each individual job after the cap is hit, as with acn both sch and smn hit 50 at the same time with the merit point system you could have us work for new things on both jobs separately not that im there yet ive just come across threads on various sites talking about a level cap increase already and it got me thinking

2: right click black listing for RMTs can i have it please!!!

Ok I have a bunch of questions. So far the special events have been in my opinion horrible. How come in other mmos seasonal events are an interactive experience. Like one other game had a summer event with bathing suits where people hung out at a beach talked relaxed got to buy rare types of goodies. Your events r a crap fate and some gear then nothing to do with gear I just would like maybe have a day for an event to be held in costa del sol where u can only enter if u put on your bathing suit and u can\\\\\\'t to hang out with the community how mmo should be. Other mmos did this. I just hate how lame they have been and no event at all. Please fix this in future. Also we need the armoire to be able to hold primal weapons and other stuff so we can have more room in inventory and retainer inventory. Also we should make coil available in df.

df. Another thing maybe instead of fates for lightning quests which are horrible and ps3 users can\\\\\\'t see why not have Odin and lightning and other things in guild heists. Since people don\\\\\\'t use guild heists at all it would be great to promote them. I have so many questions I guess ill limit to a few. O also why have the special items u gave out for contest winners only be for vanity. Why shouldn\\\\\\'t the person get rewarded. If u win a special item on a contest it shouldn\\\\\\'t just look cool but should be super powerful. Why the hell do all the special items stink. Who cares about vanity if I win something I want to get rewarded. Make that eye chicken have amazing through the roof stats. I dunno y u don\\\\\\'t give them awesome stats. Please start will make people actually wanna do contests.

any plans to address the fact that BLM is an essential class for speed runs while melee dps are unable to keep up with BLM AoE DPS?

[TraeSnow]

Are there any plans to adjust the two bar debuff limit on certain bosses? Example being Odin/Behemoth, SMN are the DoT class of the game yet their dps is so restricted during these two fates because of the debuff limit.

[Aurelius]

Can we expect changes made to Duty Finder? For example, I would love to be able to choose the party makeup. If I want 1 or 2 tanks, 1 or 2 healers, 4 or 5 dps, etc etc. I think you should be able to pick the jobs you want in your party in duty finder.

[Altanas]

What are your plans with respect recycling/reinvigorating lower level open world zones as they now appear very quiet such as Camp Bentbranch Meadows with only 1 or 2 other players at Camp and people soloing the FATEs there?

[Suiseiseki]

Is there any chance that you'll allow what I'll call "Secondary Classes" to Duty Finder? It gets rough when your healer or tank leaves right in the middle or at the end and you can't switch off for the group. Being able to switch to your secondary class would be nice.

In addition, is there any chance that Warrior may be able to get a "DPS" role as a secondary choice?

[Altanas]

Are there any plans to spread the playerbase with meaningful Reputation systems such as clearing repeatable dailies/weeklies/quests/leves/FATEs/dungeons to build reputation with different factions (State/Tribes/Other) within the game in order to unlock unique reputation rewards (gear, titles, unlocks for aethestician, etc). At the moment the achievement system feels a bit too passive whereas more regular active reputation farming may be more incentive to the playerbase

Right now some cross-class skills are completely useless (i.e stoneskin - 10% dmg reduction on 3sec cast time is quite bad tbh and even for WHM the cast time makes it not quite worth the 18% reudction especialy with the server delay - EU servers in NA - nearly impossible to time it properly at some fights to make it useful).

My question is: are there any plans to make some spells valid (as some Jobs just doesn't have any choice regarding crossclass spells - like WHM with Thunder)?

Regarding Stoneskin I think making the effect 18% for all classes and giving WHM -spell cast speed would solve that spell. Are there any plans regarding the cross class spells?
