Heavy-Status... can you please remove it now or respond about it?

[kyuven]

There's actually a fairly simply yet eloquent solution...
Keep heavy. But make it only apply to melee attacks or spells that already specifically gave it as a status ailment. As a trade off give cast spells a % chance of knocking you off your mount. The % chance decreases based on your MDef and level difference, thus making it nearly impossible for a lvl 41 sylph to knock a lvl 50 blm off their mount, but a lvl 41 would still be legitimately threatened.
The major problem most players have with Heavy is that it applies from cast spells, which can hit you even after the mob has leashed. Getting in melee range while on a mount can be avoided if you're creative enough, but spells...nope.

Simple solution: Give Sylph a physical range attack.

I think a good option would be changing it from heavy to mini and other various status effects like that varying from area to area. This would bring some variety, and in the case of mini humour. As heavy is overused and is mainly an irritant.

I wish someone would put on rollerblades and grab the back of Yoshi-P's shirt while he tries to walk around all day.

Hey guys play Paladin and when you get Heavied, jump off your bird, Tempered Will and Sprint.

Get good.

Think of what you're asking for here!

The poor sahagin and sylphs already have a complex because of the adventurers running through their homes with impunity and just ignoring their feeble attempts at murder! Heavy is all they have. It's there only way of telling a i116 geared warrior (not a paladin, those guys have tempered will...smug jerks) "Hey, remember me? I'm here". It's a small price to pay to help the self esteem of a lowly trash mob.

Think of the monsters!

Also, for only 2 gil a day you can help a mossless gobbue find some moss.

heavy status on frontline is good, but no for open world
