Signet <Can I have it?>

[Jennestia]

I am against the idea of a signet as well. While I do want more GC seals, the signet will simply shift us even more toward monsters grinding, not enjoying varied activities.

Not really. You know what would shift us towards one thing and not enjoying a variety of activities? Once PvP is introduced. It's inevitable that something in an MMO will shift players towards one thing -- getting seals for killing a monster will not change that.

I get that people for whatever reason hates a grind (ironic too given in most MMOs you quest grind) but this wouldn't suddenly make people focus on one thing, it would actually get people to do something else lol.

go.

But, seriously, this thread is a live monument to the huge nostalgiai over FFXI that prevents some people to accept the fact this is an entirely new game

Yet it's ok to implement features from other MMOs in order for it to "compete"? Yet it's "nostalgia" for SE to take what works from their previous FF MMO and make it better, even though other companies has been doing that since 2004?

It's not a matter of it being "OK" or "not OK". Again, I repeat, I'm not even against adding ideas from XI, or other games. I'm also pretty glad that they did start taking up some stuff from XI, like XP chains.

In fact, there are plenty of stuff from other games I'd love to see here, including from XI. For example, a XI-style Blue Mage would make me instantly main it and never look back. A few dungeons with plenty of stuff to interact with, like some of XI's, wouldn't hurt too.

What I AM against is the prevalent mindset some people have here that SE *HAS* to *STAIGHT UP COPY* up XI or whatever other game to be succesful, offering little more reasons other than "It worked there" or "look at XIV, it sucks!".

If someone comes up here and post about WoW-like dungeon finder, or make the game fully voiced because SWOTOR is fully voiced, my reaction would be the exact same.
