I need to vent (VERY long)

Yes everything I said should be disregarded because the only opinion that currently matters are the people who would play this game independent of its issues. Screw the opinions and views of anyone who does not see this game as being a gem. Unfortunately the majority of the gaming POPULATION disagree with your assertion. And the absence of this majority is the reason the game is currently a financial sink that may lead to the termination of this so "wonderful" game.

I would say that while the majority of game players might turn their nose at XIV, that does not necessarily mean they all share your reasons as to why. Just putting that out there.

EDIT: However, and for the record, I do not believe your statements should be disregarded. Nor should anyone's.

Final Fantasy XIV → Gameplay → Armory System → Disciples of War → Archer → Abilities.

Replenish
Invoke a blessing of renewal, consuming MP to replenish your projectiles to capacity.

It's possible that they plan to implement a modified version of this with the series of skill changes.

As I can see right now, it looks like Archer is on the higher end of the DPS scale. So having consumable arrows to limit yourself is a very common method in MMO's.

If the consumption of arrows are taken out, then Archer's will also have to sacrifice some of their DPS power to make up for it. In all fairness, arrows are not that expensive, at least not right now.

what is with people and FREE this and FREE that?

raelly free teleport? -.- there are limitations in place for a reason.

and free arrows? I could understand it there where alot of other MMORPGs that did this, but there are not. Just off the top of my head....... Ultima Online, WoW, EQ, EQ2, FFXI, and a good 5+ free MMORPGs I have played..... none of them had "FREE" arrows.

Archer is a high DD class, ranged at that, so there is a cost for it, in the form of needing arrows.

Very funny concept . having archers with unlimited ammo . Thus they would be immune to every slow petri accu down effect in the game never have to worry of splash damage and fire at will with being able to shoot 3 hits in on volley then trifucate and barrage . Brilliant ! Just Brilliant! ( Already they have a source of non degradable atk accuracy and crit ) = the arrows have no durability . i would find it purely a fare trade for unlimited ammo if they remove all stats from the actual ammo.
