Ah, I see! I haven't played FFXI but from all what I have read it sounded like the wyvern wasn't that effective, especially if dead the dragoon lacked of power.

@ Dreadnought

I see your point and I DO think it is difficult but I don't think that it is as drastic as you say. But again I'm not into fighting, it's just how I see things.
Of course balance is an important issue but I'm not calling for this option now but for like...more than a year? I am positive that until a wyvern might be released the developers will have worked out a balance because till then also the dragoon should be balanced.
Besides what I thought of was like a debuff. When you get downgraded ingame your stats are bouncing too. Basically with all the effects in fights stats are bouncing temporarily. So imo it could also be possible to use the dragon as a "debuff".
I don't really consider it annoying but that's personal. Of course I'd prefer not to be downgraded at all but that would really imbalance the Dragoon so the downgrade would be a makeshift.
What I agree about though is the thing with the other classe's special treatment.
But again, I didn't make this thread (with obviously already stated ideas, sorry for that) to convince everybody to love wyverns but to vote for an alternative, so that both sides can play the way they want to, though I don't really agree with your comparison but hey, that's just my view.
Keep in mind, it's just a suggestion, I don't think it is the holy grail of FF14 but it is still my concern to have it posted.

Didn't know that. :P
