[dev1032] Reducing class affinity across the board

[Xor]

isnt that the point, i mean really. we all play a fantasy based game notionally killing stuff, in a notional world. how many of you played FF7 beat it then went back through the game to find every last materia, gain every last limit break (cherry bomb), kill every last mob and farm those drinks in the sunken airplane to max out all of clouds stats just to go back to sephroth and make him your jailhouse b***h? i sure as hell did and i earned every last bit of it. same with this game, yeah you gain rk50 in whatever, then in something else. all this talk of balance makes me want to vomit. Go back in history and tell Miyamoto Musashi that he's too OP and cant use his "two heavens" sword technique. I will tell you that i would rather be in a party full of OP'd toons that knows their toons and how to play then sit around for 2hrs hoping to find a healer or a tank that can barely do there job.
you only get some many points to em-place skills if you earn it you can use it. actually thinking about this game actually follows a lot of Miyamoto Musashi's philosophy he wrote in the Five Rings. If your wondering who Miyamoto Musashi was, lets just say he is in any accord the baddest mf'r ever to breathe fresh air.

some players are just too brain washed to realize the reason they made all those alts wasnt because they were bored with the first toon they capped, its because they wanted to be the BMFOC and now you got that chance and cry OP. i guarantee everyone there is content in-game right now that it wouldnt matter if you had every class to rk50 and the best skill combo imaginable you are still gonna need a party to kill it. the grandfather to every single MMO out is still pushing out expansions after 11years because they dont create balance, they create new ways to be better. the only part about using rk45+ skills on a noob class does is make is faster to grind through ranks we have already accomplished, and that doesnt even matter, there is really no need to grind out more then one class to 50, and trust me getting to rk50 once is almost enough to keep you from doing it again, but doing so just adds to your capabilities and the diversity you offer to your LS and you party. few people will ever get more then 2 offensive rk50 classes, fewer yet has the desire to see all their classes to rk50. Call it being OP if you want but that is the point, why else would you want better skills, more powerful weapons, the ability to optimize stats for your class.

Have you tried to go back playing FFVII, start one-shotting everything you see, use many hours doing it AND have fun. I know I would get bored fast. Even when playing old school FFs I'm trying to kill challanging bosses as weak as possible to get need to use some strategy. I personally feel awarded when I kill that badass superboss barely surviving. It's fun few times to simply obliterate them, but when it's about game that usually takes years of dedication, I'd rather have challanges for those many years. You mentioned just adding tougher bosses. I would rather quit before playing even a full year if they choose that to be solution. Yay I levelled to R50, I'll just do it six more times except now I'm one-shotting everything! Basically it would make no difference to give everything else to R50 instead of wasting time doing something a retarded monkey could do. If my point doesn't get through, I'll quit posting on this thread. I don't want to do another dull FFX grinding to defeat two enemies that can't be one-shotted.
