We need to look at the now in respect to the future planned additions, if you do they make alot more sense.
I said that same thing. But I also said that breaking the game now with the plan to fix it in the future is the wrong way to do it. As it is right now the classes are extremely off. They wont be fixed until the advanced jobs come out. But that is the wrong way to go about it. They should have held off the class changes for 1.21 and done it all in one go. Right now even normal parties at lvl 50 are difficult. The new moogle prereq quest is a massive time sink purposly implemented to keep people busy until next patch. This is the wrong way to do things. You want to keep people interested in the game? Keep people playing? Make a game that is worth playing in the first place.

SE did make one of the most success mmos of all times before are they that stupid?
They were stupid enough to make this horrible game and then AFTER it bombed fire all their staff and try again. lol. Am I the only one that remembers that?

Licont is an example of the OPs whole point and why it is valid. People need to not look at the now and they need to not look at this as a finished product.
And you are a perfect example of a noob that can't read. I said already twice, they are making plans for the future, but breaking the game even more in the mean time. I know they are trying to fix it, but breaking it just to fix it later is WRONG. Learn to read.
