Too many needless restrictions

[LauraAdalena]

This game has too many needless restrictions that only hinder the gameplay experience for seemingly no reason.

Here are examples of what i'm referring to:

I'm just gonna divide your comment into other things.

-Wait 24 hours after leaving a FC before being able to create a FC
-Pay x amount of gil after changing GC's more than 1 time
-Wait x amount of days after the creation of a character before being able to transfer
-X amount of days after auto house demolition to reclaim items/gil
-X amount of gil allowance per character/retainer for server transfer (server gil is pretty even by now.)

I actually understand why they have these in place and why they are okay. The FC one is to keep emotional people from doing dumb things. I agree with the GC transfer costing, but not sure why I do, same with the transfer stuff. The limited amount of time to reclaim items is to keep people from leaving for a long time and getting items when they haven't been playing for years. Which, to me, makes sense. It's the server's space they are wasting on a game that requires connection to them. Also, I don't want people going over to Siren to buy all the Materia up for cheap and re-posting it for kicks then transferring back to Gilga or anything after they have sold it all.

-No option to manually demolish your own house to reclaim gil

Not sure how to feel about this one. I agree and disagree at the same time.

-Obtain x rank in GC before being able to change GC
-Wait x amount of days/time between being able to change GC's
-No option to share housing with your alts
-No option to trade between alts naturally
-No option to send moogle letters to yourself or alts
-Gear sets locked behind amount of classes unlocked

100% agree. These are dumb.If they are me and I play between the characters I should be allowed to trade things between them. Especially since I own them and pay for them. However, I'd limit it to just ones on the same server. Don't want anybody transferring millions and intentionally imbalancing entire server's market boards just because they can.

-One time Character Restoration
-One time Item restoration

Not actually sure what you are referring to here? I actually feel dumb for not knowing.

-Must obtain level x / complete x quest to change classes

This is because of the original job system requiring 2 classes to make a job. Surprised this is still a thing, I can see why it's dumb and forgot it was a thing.

Every FFXIV account has an option to restore one item that was lost/thrown away and an option to restore one deleted character, but both of these you can only use once.

To my knowledge, the only way to buy a game card is through the SE store, which it’s like 5-10 $ for shipping on top of the card, and you then of course have to wait for the physical card to be mailed to you, which *then* you can give your friend the code. Which to me is extremely inconvenient.

I used to pay for my sub with game cards my bf bought for me. I have no clue on which website he was buying them but there seem to be plently of those that sell game cards and you receive a code instantly or the same day at least.
