ffxiv everything designed wrong about this game

[Fortee86Gransz]

-The leveling and gameplay is designed wrong.
What they should of done is given you an adventurer ranking
And all accumulated experience points from every weapons level levels up your adventurer rank.
Secondly in combination with this each weapon should have a skill level on it as opposed to the class leveling system.
So in laments terms
Weapon level instead of class level
This way you can learn a weapon from a guild and not deal with being tied to one class specific weapon.
Jobs should give you stat boosts in a specific attribute category and specific weapon, armour type, and skills like normal.s I.e a dragoon gets dex vit and str boosts in that job and when using a spear deal double damage as a dps Heightened regular jump and jumping skill.
and every attribute point accumulated from leveling up every weapon is shared through out so that the repetitive gameplay serves a purpose to level every weapon to 50 will give an estimated 360 attribute points 30 points per weapon.
also this allows the seven shared skills from other classes to be nearly any skill a player chooses, besides the limiting ones they give.
Also it deterrs from having to start leveling up all the way over from level one with a class when your leves and quests will be based on your adventurer rank. This will bring back opportunities to powerlevel new guild members and have them in the foray without having to wait till their at a specific level to play with you In one class. They can now still maintain their stats aandranking and build up their new weapon as they progress without having to miss group moments. So its makes being in a guild even more useful.

...no, I don't agree. I like how the leveling is set up in the game.

It's not 'wrong', it's just what the developers have chosen to go with.

This thread is bad, and you should feel bad.

First, your spelling needs work.
Second, you're describing a completely different game.
"Adventure Rank" was in 1.0. They dropped it because it was difficult to manage and ended up not really meaning much.
"Weapon Skill Levels" existed in other games, but those games are built completely different from FFXIV. What you're basically describing is a more complicated version of FFXI's system.
I'm sorry but your suggestion is nigh incomprehensible and describes things that really have no place in this game's system.
It's not "wrong" either, it's a different approach. The developers have taken the path they chose because it allows for the most versatility for adding content later.
I cannot emphasize how important it is for an MMO's systems to be simple to explain.
Let's use an example: Your explanation is nearly 2 paragraphs just describing how leveling would work.
How it CURRENTLY works: There are 9 classes in the game. When one job reaches 30 and a specific one is 15, you unlock the Job. The level cap is 50. You can switch to other jobs whenever you switch weapons.
Simple, straightforward.

This guy must be the best game developer around.

Or maybe this game isn't for you? Ever thought about that?

Stopped reading at 'laments terms'.

Why do other people expect games to turn into games they played someday...

Must be sad about something.
