Request: More challanging / difficult content. PLEASE

[Xianghua]

Situation like gear would be okay, but I definitely do "not" want gear switching while in battle back. I always thought that was one of FFXI's bad aspects. I want to go in with the gear on me and that is it. Not fun switching between staves to have a certain spell go off. The class/job system is a tad different from FFXI's, where you can switch on the fly, and in most occasions, people want to bring gear and be ready in case they need to switch. People don't want 3-4 gear sets for each job just to be efficient, it is inconvenient and tedious.

Especially with the fact that FFXIV technically is a faster paced system than FFXI. It does not take long at all to execute actions and combos and would in the long run be better to not gear switch for the sake of a little more damage. It is just inconvenient.

All you need to do is make long term goals, regardless of it being crafted material or rare/ex. gear, and with the amount of jobs coming up and more in the future, and make drop rates low but fair, you can make content last a real long time.

Having situation gear that you would use for 1-2 events would be worse. Then having different gear sets you will use for every event. Unless you made them needed. The gear would take up the same amount of slots pretty much yet one would be used much more then the other. If they made it where that gear helped tremendously in those fights. well of course the casuals will step in to complain. xD

Edit: idc how they would implement gear switch. But some type of it is needed I think.
