Required rank on all gear

[Fensfield]

"Us"?
When you say "us", do you mean everyone thinks the same way as you? Or did you just assume everyone liked the current optimal rank system?

pls don't assume, thx

I'm pretty sure Cairdeas figured you capable of realising they meant those of us are not terribly happy at the moment, not that everyone in this extremely controversial topic held the absolute same opinion as they, or you, do.

Their point is true. When I came to Final Fantasy XIV, I stayed because it had some really, really special ideas and elements amidst all the huge problems. Those special elements have, over time, been disappearing for me almost in step with the problems.

So yes, for those of us for whom this change is the last straw, Final Fantasy XIV just ceased to be special.

I've yet to determine for certain if I'm in that camp. I don't think I am. I still have my friends, and I still like the character creation engine, world, and story.

We'll see.
