Gath is amused by how much he seriously loves this thread.

Gath loves it so much that the story Areeya told made Gath hppy.

Gath wonders, what is this thread about? Gath was intrigued by the story and the moogle and the slapping.

Gath's 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

reiterating a couple points: not being punished for doing something is not the same thing as being rewarded for not doing it, rested exp is a system which allows less punishment for low playtime and does not have a directly negative impact on those with high playtime, the indirect potential impact on those with high play time is negated by the fluid and uninhibited nature of current content, it's not like a botched dynamis run or a failed KB camping will set you back days, at worst it'll cost you a few thousand in repairs; there is no "rested lrn2play" bonus

battlecraft classes are barely going to notice this unless they ninja in some rather extreme exp reforms at the same time, this will however make high level DoH and DoL leveling suck a bunch less given the craptastic nature of leves for each

When i didnt think this game could get any easier to level and go and do something like this... Like seriously wtf everyone and brother will have every single dow/dom job lvl 50 by 2.0 release. Leveling jobs should be part of the game or an experience, it was in 11. This game is just a boring grind fest in every aspect with no meaning.. leveling jobs 1-50 is just feels so pointless.. Idk i know most people felt 11 was that way but i felt like leveling had so much more meaning. In 11 having good gear actually meant something while leveling. Having the right party setup.. This game is just so easy.. Stick any 8 people with any jobs with any gear and you have a fast as hell exp party. SO stupid, then they add rested experience.

Otherwise the rest of the patch info looks suprisingly decent.

Are you kidding me? In what way was XI not a grind fest? Did we play same game?
All you did in XI was grind to 75 ASAP because all the other content was unimportant and boring.
XI went through a phase where lvling was extremely boring and stupid (when it came out in NA). We had to go to places like Valley of Sorrows or Sky to level which in itself took about an hour. There parties averaged maybe 15k/h with 100k tnl or something like that. Leveling dint become actually OK till maybe TOAU. Do not even get me started about waiting around for 4 hours to find proper job setup.

Do you prefer exp fatigue for playing too much or exp bonus for playing too low? choose one

With what -little- we all know about XIV's iteration of "rested experience" I believe it's a fantastic idea. I won't knock it until I try it.

It amazes me every time I read this forum how so much of this community wants to sabotage this game.
Here's a newsflash for you. XI HD will never happen, if it did it would not succeed. There are people who play less than 12 hours a day, there's people who can play 2 hours a day or only on the weekends. They need rested exp.
Instead of supporting ideas like this that will attract wider diversity of users you guys shut it down. You cant compromise cant you? Instead it's "I want XI HD cuz it's gonna make tons of money if they redid it!" No it wont, nothing with "the glory days XI" will attract more than 100k subs.
This game needs another million players if you have any hope for a expansive endgame and content flowing. They need to cater to people who can play 2h a day first because those will be the majority. Not the 12k of players we got now.
All I'm saying is, think logically about this situation.

And all I'm saying is why should people be rewarded for not playing the game..... come on now, think about it logically, if you don't have the time to play a MMORPG, AN MMORPG, i'll say it again, not a single player game a MMORPG. Come on now, think about it logically.

Also for you saying FFXI HD, no ones ever saying make it into FFXI-2, though I will say it again, there is only one FFXI while there is many WoWs

[Coombah]

they just need to give an anima bonus, not an EXP bonus. makes much more sense.
my idea: let anima recover faster when in your room.

I think both can work really well if implemented correctly, very good idea on the anima ^^

Could not agree more.

I also find it fascinating that the people making the point "I play 8 hours a day and it's unfair that people playing 1 hour a day gets a bonus" almost all seem to miss the point. I completely agree that it's unfair, but what is unfair is that you have time to play the game 8 hours a day and I only have time to play 1 hour.
