Delete auto-learn of skills

Again it's not like anyone is asking for a direct port of FFXI to FFXIV. I shall make some points;

A spell that may be level 40 does not need to come from a level 60 NM, it could come from a level 40 normal mob.

A spell doesn't need to be of a drop rate of 1% when it could be of a drop rate of 20% (kill 1 out of 5 mobs will likely drop the spell scroll).

A spell can be rare and exclusive, meaning you cannot trade or sell the spell and you can only have one at a time. Meaning use it or drop it.

A spell can be bought from points (guild points or company seals).

A spell can be quested, but the quest doesn't need to be tedious, hell the quest can even be interesting!

Some basic and common spells can be bought from a vendor for quite cheap, doesn't need to be expensive and this way there is no inflation if only NPC's can sell it, and no one can scam anyone else.

Maybe it's too late now, but in the future, any new spells should use one OR MORE of the above suggestions instead of being auto learnt.


This doesn't have to be for spells, it can be for abilities and weapon skills too!

And if BLU is introduced, I think it should be the same as in FFXI, that was one of the most fun ways of learning spells and it felt so good to learn a new spell like that, especially given BLU spells are rather unique and fun.

Agreed, you bring good points to the table.

Some People have a negative assumption that we are asking for a very tedious or time-consuming or monopolizing system when having to obtain scrolls. Heck, i don't want any of that myself, I'm a casual player. I'm just asking for it to be fun and have a sense of accomplishment in gaining them. We already have quests for all sorts of stuff, why not have it for scrolls too? Just spices it up and makes it more fun. The game should not be all about grinding your way through ranks and spells, there should be a fun factor involved, otherwise it's really dull and boring.

Achievement is key in any rpg, spoon feeding sucks, kills the game. All we need is balance, that's it. Address the concerns and work on them.
