Does fatigue have a purpose?

[Akumu]

Now i know what the team said about preventing excess grinding but why am i penalized for wanting to level a class? Since the game is like a b2p beta right now i don't complain much but if i was paying for it why am i forced to stop having fun? Maybe i missed something but would love if this was explained to me if there is some sort of bonus involved(and if the bonus is worth it).

I think they need to just drop the fatigue system all together. It's a pain and it's not gonna stop anyone from continuing to grind on that particular class.

I'm in favor of removing the fatigue system and increasing sp/exp requirement by a % based on the average surplus from fatigue.

Its the same system as WoW's Rested XP its just named wrong and they never fixed it.

Agree the fatigue system needs to go.

It's because of the bad press on things from FFXI like 18 hour Pandemonium Warden fights.

SE got heat in the media for outrageous time commitments in their MMO, so they designed a system in their new game to force either horizontal progression (if you want to play 8 hours a day) or make people play less.

Experience tells them that even if they have warning saying "don't play too much!" that people don't listen and they have to mother their players. It's a foolish think to think, but it is what it is.

Did any of you think that if they did remove it that we'd all be stuck at earning SP at the same rate we earn it when we are "Fatigued" if you think of that as being the "Base" rate in WoW when un-reset and Non-Fatigue as rested its the same damn system

Then it should be fixed then because in WoW you get rested xp when you log out or sit inside of town. They don't take away a % of xp from you because you are leveling a class too long. Instead they allow those who take breaks an easier time to catch up by giving them a bonus to make it more casual friendly.

So if SE lower sp gains by 30% then gave you a 30% rested bonus which slowly decays to 0% bonus as you play would that really make it better?

It sounds like people want rested bonus 100% of the time.

The system is in place to entice players to level more than 1 class.
