Please remove accuracy

[BlaiseArath]

If FFXIV didn't already have the stat complexity of a Second graders math test, I'd be all for removing accuracy... I do agree that its an outdated stat from another era... and most games have done away with the concept.

But at the same time I have to acknowledge when it comes to the stats in XIV, accuracy is really the only one that you have to consider if you have "Enough" of, its the only stat you really have to pay attention too. So claiming its not "skillful" may be true but its definitely the most important stat if you're not hitting the cap... claiming that somehow figuring out 130 > 120 is more skillful than capping accuracy is pants-on-head tarded. Neither are, the information is readily available online for most stat optimizing.

Regardless, If they remove it, it needs to be replaced with something that involves at least equal or above the level of thought to put into it. This game is already bland as white rice when it comes to stat customization and character optimizing.. it doesn't need to be every further dumbed down with nothing compensating for it. Accuracy should be linked to Item Level if it is to remain, and if you meet the I.lv requirements to enter you should have the Accuracy to hit it. This would keep Accuracy in the game but automate it to your I.lv average.

But again... adding something in its place should be a must, we don't need the entire game now boiling down to 3 off stats instead of 4... its bad enough stuff like DET/CRIT/Skill speed already offer such minuscule boosts that they're essentially unnoticeable. At least accuracy had an appreciable impact.
