Well, it's obvious it won't be implemented. But it's worth the try IMO.

If there is a thing this dev team is lacking is creativity...so if for every 10 bad suggestions a good one pop, we are already good enough! ^^

I must say i do think surplus could be adjusted in a way to work properly instead of being removed...just like every single mechanics from original FFXIV. The real peoblem of surplus actually was the grudge the playerbase grew against it...and it never really had a chance of being adjusted...it had like 1 adjustment during the last week of beta because was trigging too fast and that's it.

IMO surplus was just another feature that never had the chance of being balanced due dev team change.
