    WTB Merrit System

    I think it would be pretty cool to have some form of Merrit System Post 50 in this game. Where you gain Exerpience points to earn Merrit Points which you can spend on +stats, spell effects/ability effects, new spells, etc etc etc. Like FFXI's merrit system but tweaked and tuned for FFXIV.

    Then we could FATE at 50 for more than just seals and spirit binding gear. There could be a big merrit point exchange system with something ridiculous like 2mil exp for 1 merit point and you need something like

    1 Point: 150 Myth tomes (cap 300 to 450 'after 2.1)
    2 Points: +1 of a stat (Max +5)
    4 Points: Convert a cross Class ability into it's traited version (Flash would have blind on war etc)
    4 Points: New Spells for mages

    etc

    Then if the level cap goes up, simply call this one Tier 1, and the new system at the new cap would be Tier 2 where it might jump to +10 cap on stat additions, more new spells, etc etc.

    Agreed, much better than my idea. If it's a refit from XI though I can't see Squeenix stepping backwards. Shame... The games poor for the lack of a facility like this.

    I would hope that SE is not so short sighted that they would make the same mistake with ARR they made with XIV - that is, trying so hard not to be XI it didn't end up being much of anything.

    My favorite idea that you had was this one.

    4 Points: Convert a cross Class ability into it's traited version (Flash would have blind on war etc)

    The only downside is this can cause some balance issues. Overall it still seems pretty cool.

    Another could be like

    6 Points allows you to use one cross class skill from outside your base 2 classes. Drg with Raging strikes, BLM with IR and so on. Again balance problems but still cool.

    Merit system would be good. Just probably not until 2.3 or later, for realistic application reasons. I'd rather them throw out fully new content/activities to do, before we bust out the old exp grind again. The only reason the Merit System was introduced in XI was to give reason to play after they had exhausted resources at the time. I'd imagine this game would also need to be fine-tuned on the balance portion, as new spells/abilities/stats would mean a lengthy test run of boss fights and theoretical situations for future ones (like avoiding making a merit ability/spell powerful in general, but overly exceeds output due to mechanics of a fight, making this ability/spell "mandatory").

    I would love it if they added Cross-Class Traits purchasable via MVP points.
