[ Dev's ] Gear Swaps Can I have It?

[NefGP]

I've heard about this and always thought it sounded really stupid.

"Hold on guess I need to get completely undressed and then put on this new outfit to cast one spell!"

I certainly hope to never see it in this game, it sounds pretty pointless and unnecessary not to mention plain bad game design.

For the love of God this. Stop bringing back XI's worst ideas, OP. I for one and beyond happy that gear swapping isn't a battle mechanic in XIV and pray it stays that way forever.

You know, because having a million gear swap macros for every single ability was just ever so fun/realistic. I like min/maxing to a degree but XI just took the concept way too far.

You all talk about realism and How swaping gear and such makes it feel unrealistic . Now answer me this "Is walking up a hill that is clearly realistically someone wouldn't just walk up REALISTIC?
Is killing a Imp Realistic
Is Elementals Realistic
But wait you going to say part of the Fantasy ok so ill keep it to other things .
So how about I'm walking around and there is a rock in the way that in Real life i would be able to just walk over now if you are comparing Realistic to Real Life events and such you completely have no argument.

Now I see many Players say that Gear Swaps are not received well , Now i either way as Dev said no wont be an addition of GS . So This is what i see happening gear that you get from each expansion is going to be negated by new armor Now wait you going to say Matria this and that ,So we get Matria and everything but SE hasnt released how easy/hard metria is going to that to get master lvl because god knows casuals cant handle difficulty . So many players are going to be saying why wait x amount of time when i can get a nice piece of armor with HNM or nm now your going to say well its crafted w/e , Some gear is going to drop on its own and if SE is smart they will Make HNM gear far better then anything that matria can offer just saying matria is going to come close but not that close . Its like saying you buy an i7 HP laptop and install mac os x on it and call it a apple computer .

Hello Everyone,

Gear Swap? I have brought this topic to my subligar and they have told me that they are not looking into this.

[THE END]

I would like to take a second to point out that FFXI wasn't designed with Gear Swaps in mind.. Players created that system with the tools SE gave them. You have macros in this game and you CAN gear swap right now if you wanted to.

Its just a little slow atm...

i dont think as many people care about the realistic part as much as the not being fun part. Its just plain stupid.

And it clogs up your inventory.

This should sum up gear swapping nicely:
