ffxiv everything designed wrong about this game

[AmewKitsune]

Could you imagine the nightmare Level Syncing would be for a 1.0-like system? While, admittedly, a progression system like PhysLV would be nice, so it doesn't feel like that mountain of HP I had suddenly vanishes because a grabbed a stick, it created a problem when you *could* cross-class *any* skill, classes lost their meaning a bit. The direction moving forward is cutting off the classes in the Armoury System, though it feels the need to be there, because it was part of the XIV design, and advertised as such, an "improvement" such as PhysLV would be a step back from the current vision.

For the Physical level:

With the physical level you gained stats points for the character, while leveling up the class/weapon only gave you new skills.

Problem 1: Stats were character bounded, not class bounded. You can level up THM, put all points into Int, change to MRD and have a MRD with a lot of Int. In ARR the people complain that SMN and SCH share the same stat points. Now imagine how it will be if all classes/jobs share the same stat points. There was a way to reset the stats, but it needed time.

This is something that might have been fixable without the removal of the Physical Level, though.

Problem 2: the difference of power between someone with (as an example) 25/30 THM and 25/50 THM

I personally don't see this as much of a problem.

Anyway, I know it's not going back to that, and that's fine. I don't agree with the OP about, well, much of anything. I do think the Class/Job system does need a makeover, just not that extreme.

I like the game design and leveling isnt that intensive these days with roulette's, challenege log, resting bonus, fates etc.
Dont get me wrong theres room for improvement in places in the game but over all its hitting all the right notes for me as an FF game and for me thats what matters, was never really an MMO player till this as the genre didnt appeal to me but Beta testing this got me interested.

The OP complains about all that is wrong with this game, ok, but if he is truly unhappy with the way this game operates, is he still paying to play is my question to him, cause no one is forcing him to pay to play, he is paying for what the game is, it isn't you pay them, then get to dictate what you think they need to do. Based on your opinion, this game isn't good because it apparently isn't as complicated as you would like. So, if you aren't happy, you are of course free to share your opinion here as everyone else is, but, other than complaining in a forum post in general discussion, why not save your energy for more valuable purposes, or even just go and play a different game?

The problem with every person saying this to anyone who has an issue with the core mechanics of this game is that there aren't that many options out there right now. Maybe they would be playing a different game if the few quality productions out there didn't all function on the same general mechanics. WoW, Rift, and Guild Wars 2 basically.
