Delete auto-learn of skills

[Geesus]

If you want to add some quests to obtain a couple class defining skills, I have no problem with that. That's an acceptable storytelling mechanic. But making it so that no skills are auto-learned like the OP suggests, and there's a scroll to obtain or a quest to do or a mob to kill for every ability/spell like for XI mages, that's unacceptable. It's just an obstacle and a sign that there isn't enough real content.

Oh well I can agree with that. i don't want it for ALL abilities or spells but definitely some would be fun and exciting to have to feel involved.

See, eventhough we initially disagree'd we did eventually agree on a compromise. LOL If the OP means ALL then no. If some then yes.

Pleasure debating with you Travesty!

I'm sorry sir...you must be high or something. Having to seek out scrolls or..aka...buy them was a total waste of time and a pain in the @$$...we play games for fun..not to turn them into REAL LIFE chores...the auto learning saves alot of time and cuts out unnecessary BS, End of story. If these guys wanna save their dying game..they will have to learn to make it fun for the majority, not for the small majority off old school FF11 lovers, times have changed, and the MMO industry is a hard one to survive in because if a game takes away the fun...people will simply move to a actually fun game

Well the title af the thread is delete auto-learn of skills, and that's how 95% of skills are currently obtained, so that's the position I'm primarily disagreeing with.

Pleasure's all mine.

The OP is a terrible idea. The game already has too much busy work (most quests and missions seem to boil down to "walk all over the map for no apparent reason, then come back to me" rather than having anything interesting in terms of game play). Don't you feel like it's enough busy work just to grind out the levels to begin with? "Hey, guys, now that we're done grinding on these mobs for several hours, lets go grind our craft jobs so we can craft our spells, or farm some mobs with an incredibly low drop rate for even longer than we've been grinding xp in order to get our spells." Ridiculous. Anything an MMO can do to NOT feel like a second job, the better. Just say no.
