An idea regarding removed skills

[Rowde]

Spoilers, but not really all that severe...

My favorite part was seeing some of the NPCs in the FIRST Gunbreaker instance doing Ring of Thorns...

Like, I get old NPCs still using removed skills... but like, they just added this fight. Why they gotta open old wounds and remind me that RoT got removed the same patch they added battle actions to /gpose.

Thanks to everyone for posting so far.

I like the idea too. It would be great choose to have my DRK do the animation for Darkside when activating Grit as an example. But yeah, that is a lot of time and resources that could be doing something that isn't glamour. People would also find a way to complain about it, somehow.

Well, you are not the only one who misses Darkside Yes, once again this shoudn't be SE top priority, but from what I know - Developers team consist of several departments. And there are guys out there who mostly focus on re-tweaking an old content (giving fly ability to non-flying mounts, adjusting previous expansions relic weapons requirements and etc...) So that Animations customization thingy might be something they could do without sacrificing any resources that would go for developing new content and fixing current problems.
And regarding people finding a way to complain about it - that's mostly why I started this thread, to see if someone might have issues with such a system and some possible workarounds around this issues. But to be honest, I don't see how someone can complain about something that happens only on other player's monitor =P Macro that changed SMN's Bahamut size worked out just fine. And I have yet to see Summoner saying something like: "Did someone just reduced the size of my Demi Bahamut on his own PC? How dare you!"

Oof... Ring of Thorns. Kinda forgot about that one... Yeah, that shows once again how many cool animations we have in the game. And I'm sure that every skill required a decent amount of work from devs to create. Feels kind of wasteful to let 70% of them or so to just sink into the abyss like this (well we can find them on youtube, but still)

Also realized that this system already exist in game in some form. Besides being able to change the size of Bahamut - Summoners can glamour their's Egi's with a use of a macro, making it so the next time you use your Summon skill you will have a Carbuncle insteas of a usual Egi.
