If it is not broken, DO NO FIX IT!

You can have all the skills you want, but having the skills doesn't automatically put them in your bar, and doesn't automatically use them.

You can put only a certain amount of skills in bar, and you can use an even more limited amount. That's choice. And freedom of choice is freedom.

get to 50 and look at your skills, 50% of them are worthless, the other 50% are what everyone else uses becouse is the only thins that works.
Everyone using the same actions/skills because there is nothing better to use.
Sure that is freedom of choice , to gymp yourself or not that is.There are many ways i could think of to make it less restrictive and more freedom than what we have now.

Well are you asking them to scrap it or improve it? I know I have leveled certain jobs to acquire skills that are useful for tanking/survivability/incapacitation to use on my rank 50s that a lot of people have not.

Freedom should be the ability to switch to whatever role I want to and be effective at it and the current system doesn't support that. Besides, who do you know that doesn't have second wind, shock spikes, and siphon MP equipped full time for every class?

[Argh]

Are you stupid? If those things you mentioned weren't broken we wouldn't be here cause Tanaka would still be in charge.

They need a voting system just so I can rate this thread down. You're whats killing this game.

AGREED!

the fanboys are ruining these forums. instead of talking about how to FIX the stupid game they are demanding nothing changes, my god!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the fans are asking for things to be fixed. Unlike the Trolls that come asking for the only good things to be scrapped.

Nighter, i like armory system but is poorly implemented.if the solution is to scrap it i welcome it.
If the solution is to fix it i welcome it as well.
But saying this system gives you freedom is like saying cuba is the land of freedom.
Illusion of freedom =/= freedom.

While I don't agree with the guy you're quoting, the game really isn't fine the way it is. Disliking the game's "unique" features doesn't mean people are trolling. There's a reason or ten that this game is failing hard at the moment.

Not really. I can't even count how many skills I have that I would love to be able to use, but that simply don't fit the action point allowance. That's why I have to make a choice. A situational choice, I may add, because I use several skill setups with the same class depending on the situation.

No, they're asking for things that WORK (and make this game something different from every other wow clone on the market) to be kept and improved, instead of scrapping EVERYTHING because something doesn't work. Like that was even possible.

Sorry to burst a big bubble, but the only ones ruining this forums are the trolls that come here crying "I don't like Final Fantasy XIV! Let's scrap the whole game, and make another game with the Final Fantasy XIV name".

And none of them is the armory system or physical level.
It's lack of content, lack of stuff to do, lack of challenge, lack of party tools, UI still needing work and more.
The most funny thing is that the biggest critics of the game in this forum often cite reviews, and basically the only thing that's been widely praised by ALL reviewers (besides graphics) is the armoury system.

I don't think many people want to get rid of the Armory System, and I haven't heard any talk from SE on the subject. It is basically the same as in FFXI and it works.

As for the desire to wear whatever gear you want... I must say that if you want to wear whatever you want, then you should get a dress up game, and not a MMO. The "coolness" of an item is inversely proportional to how many people are wearing it... so if everyone has the "cool" gear... then that gear isn't so cool anymore, now is it? The more experienced players of the community, and the developers at SE, are taking a more long-lived view of the level and restrictions placed on equipment and are planning changes on the current gear system. But don't get them wrong, from what I've heard there will be a limited number of items that have level, rank, and/or class requirements. And I think that is a good way to go.

As for the point allotment system, I think you may have misread, or not even seen, some of the things SE has said. For the second player's poll, players voted in favor of option 2 I believe... option 2 changed how point allotment worked. Currently, you place your points and those points are used for every single class you may play. the change proposed in the player's poll was to make it so that your points were class specific... so you are able to customize your gladiator, and your conjurer, and your pugilist... all with a different combination of stats (while each class still had the same max number of points available to allot)... So really, we are not in danger of losing any of the customization that we currently possess.

I don't think the game is fine the way it is. As a matter of fact the op even says that they have no issues with fixing it but the community here seems to be attacking some of the very few good features there are in the game.
