Suggestion: Content that unlocks new skills

They already said everyone will get new skills when they raise the level cap in a future expansion.

Yes for diversity.

I'm talking about additional skills to earn outside of the basic leveling ones that offer zero options.

Problem with a system like this that people min/max. ie Community does testing and finds that 3 out of 5 skills available to unlock are actually worth their weight in gold.

You can see it in PvP skills that you can purchase, you can see it with the cross-class abilities you can select from, and even with FFXI's merit system you can see it. I personally would like to see a system in place that doesn't add worthless skills that the majority of the community avoids. Giving us 10 options and 8 are worthless is basically just giving us 2 options. What exactly is this mythical balanced system of new skills? I'm really not sure, it would require a lot of research on how people spec their current jobs/classes.

Sounds like Guild Marks from 1.0.

I feel the game needs to mature first. We have zero info on how the lvl caps and new abilities involved with them will work and effect the game.

Yeah the whole point is that there is actually choice involved... More useful sub skills means more decision making in choosing your few slots.

The way the game is now it should just auto assign the cross class abilities because there are not more useful options than there are slots.

Yes people min max and if that's what you want, a build exactly like everyone else's, you'd be more than able to do so. I personally would like to see some form of customization between characters.
