Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Aeyis]

Still have yet to explain why your want for it is greater than me not wanting it.

Perhaps a better question would be:
Why must your not want for it contradict his want for it?

Or perhaps:
Why do you feel that adding more to this game would be a bad thing?

Why do you feel that adding more to this game would be a bad thing?

Because it adds unnecessary complexity for both players and the developers?

Actually there was nothing last minute about Scholar. Arcanist was the beta trial for the Class Split mechanic they were teasing since Legacy days. They came out with the Jobs, they did not like how limiting it made design, so Arcanist remains the only Class that can split into two jobs for that reason.

Do multiple specs prevent you from sticking to what most people will blindly believe to be the "best" (Quotation mark again, just to be sure) spec ?
No

So, you can continue to play the job like you want, but I'd be able to experiment some more without affecting yout playstyle in any way.

Still not a reason to make me deal with it.

There's no point in this because sadly everything that has to do with battle content is in duty finder there's no open world content that would need something like this. We first need real end game open world content then we need stuff that will never see duty finder.

And ice mage? Ya that's just trolling. Or people being lazy. Or both.

Maybe once they finally shut ffxi down and get those people over here we will se much more battle content variety.

What does open world content have to do with specializations? People seem to think adding more open world content will fix some of the issues with the endgame. Given that OPW is just as static as instanced content, I'm not sure people are thinking this through.

was thinking more stuff like dyamanes from ffxi not open world yes its instanced but it wasn't a 90 min duty that was a short trash run then boss.

That's a fine desire, it's just not going to happen in this game. What are hoping to achieve with this post? You will not convince the design team to redesign the game to support specializations, so, as far as I can tell, this is just peeing into the wind. Just because you have an opinion does not mean you should share it when sharing it will have no realistic outcome.

Someone once said he had a dream. Not a very realistic one, but he shared it anyway.
Do you believe he shouldnt have shared it?

I'm saddened when I consider this is the opinion of many these days.

I'm actually speechless at the magnitude of this false analogy.

Its not a false one..in essence you are saying exactly this. I wish people would read their own posts better. Mirrors are in short supply, I guess.


You are literally telling people that if they have something they would like to see happen, that they should just leave and not express their opinion or desire at all.

Something being unrealistic is no reason.
Do you know how much of science was unrealistic before it was made practice? All of it.
Do you know how many of big changes are unrealistic before they happen? All of it.
If it isnt a big change then it wouldnt be unrealistic, would it?
