gear swapping was necessary but i didnt like that part of ffxi tbh. I think its better the way it is and so far... gear swap in party? with this slow system and lag? you will have the proper gear equipped 1 min AFTER the mob is dead....

They need to improve the system a lot to make the normal gear swap/class FAST not just faster.

They need to save the abilities on the action bar for each class the way people set it up. So we don't have to use macros for it. (only if we feel like so we have perhaps different macros for other camps, mobs or situations - but should be an option only)
Also the stats need to be saved to really feel the freedom of a job system. Resetting the stats slowly isnt fun at all.
Its a stupid timesink.

so far every change, if gear or ability takes ages and is no fun and unnecessary. Its so sad that its not fixed by now.
The game encourages (if not even forces) people to play many different jobs/classe BUT at the same time changing them is so slow, with a lot of useless interactions...

more of these slow actions? <<no thanks>>
