    For once, I think the concern expressed was well explained the thread isn't titled something like "REMOVING REACTION SKILLS, THE BIGGEST ERROR SE COULD DO". Allowing these abilities to be used cross-class (not saying cross-job since we know jobs will have have more restrictions but we don't know how) wouldn't hurt anyone and benefit the people who'd rather play as classes when they need to solo.

    I used to farm solo as PGL before 1.18 versus r65ish boars with those reactive skills. It was challenging and a lot of fun, and I prolly couldn't have done it without them. Combos should be fun too, so we'll have to wait and see. And again, we just have the tip of the iceberg, there might be other things coming affecting this that we don't know of.
    you will have no problem with any part of final fantasy if you don't have access to electricity

    it had nothing to do with solo. i was trying to point out that ppl are scared of change. even when it is best

    I'm with you, the numerous complaint threads usually make me laugh (guess who's mule posted that change curve lolthread), but I found this one to be well done as it was more expressed as concern and feedback rather than the usual whining.

    Anyway, can't wait to try out 1.20 and 1.21 to make myself an idea.

    This Thread has nothing to do with being scared of a change. This particular change offer absolutely no benefits, but is highly detrimental to a very Fun and Engaging way to play FFXIV.

    This games development should make it a point to avoid destroying any kind of enjoyable play style if doing so does not offer a significant advancement in overall game play. In this case, it does not.

    So, you've tested this content then? How do you know that it was a bad change? You say it DOES NOT offer anything significant to the advancement....

    Care to link us to your tests and facts?

    I didn't say it was bad, I said it was pointless. It restricts users and offers zero benefits.

    says you before you have even tried it.

    how can you say this has nothing to do with being scared of change, when your thread is about them taking away something (change)
