Allowing Gear Change in Active Mode

[Isaaru]

And of the majority.



And? Why does this matter? Why not ask for better stats on gear, lower monster defense, or higher skill damage instead?



Elitism is the norm. It's not avoidable.



Neither did I, but that does not make it any less obtuse and annoying.



Well if you want to have a philosophical debate about what choices are then the same logic then also extends to gear swapping. Everything becomes a routine. Start with MP gear, blow off excess MP, switch to normal/damage gear, use MP, switch to conservative gear when low on MP or need to recover. Fire spell? Fire damage gear. Healing spell? Healing gear. Those are not choices.

1. These forums tend to have a loud, illogical majority.
2. Because all of those things would be universal to everyone rather than an individual would put in the time and effort to obtain the best gear.
3. If it's the norm then that means you're the minority contradicting your first statement.
4. I like how people think making a macro, which is in almost every single MMO, is annoying. Especially when it allows you to do multiple things with a click of a button.
5. Ok, if it applies to both then I fail to see a problem. And doing those gear swaps is just as much as a choice as not having gear swaps and choosing the optimal gear for the situation as a whole. The only argument I see anyone have is that inventory space would become an issue I am sure SE is balancing that aspect as we speak. Also, I don't know if you read, but gear swapping exists currently on mages. I carry multiple potency chokers to swap on my BLM depending on the spell.

Majority is majority.. ignorant or not... our society is set up so majority rules

That only works if everyone playing was voicing an opinion here, but sadly the ignorant are just loudest.

Short of the players poll.. the forum really is the only representation of the player base... End of the day.. Yoshi needs to just follow his vision of the game...
let the forums and players inspire you... but in no way should it dictate in game policy...
Even my opinion (Which I am obviously very fond of) shouldn't be a determining factor in Yoshi's decisions

The question is now... are they ignorant because they do not have the same opinion as you? or is it really that they lack the knowledge and information about the subject?

It seems some do have the knowledge and understand the concept of gear swapping and yet still do not wish to have it here... I am one of those people... as I think it is a rather silly/stupid concept to have in any game with armor. Unless of course whenever you swap gear in or out of combat your character does some type of "Magical Girl" transformation... then it would fit a bit better. That doesn't happen so I'll go with no thanks...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

you know over half the people that plays this game dont post or even have there name started on these fourums right? so you cant say the majority of the people agee. in the fourums its usually the same idiots that post the same crap over and over, and think there always right. i think gear swap is fine. you may not like that but that is my opinion. if you dont like it thats fine its your opinion. but dont act like you know what the majority of the people are thinking.

To get the higher damage out of a gear swapping system, you have to put in the time and effort to get the best gear swap setups.

3. If it's the norm then that means you're the minority contradicting your first statement.

That's not how elitism works.

4. I like how people think making a macro, which is in almost every single MMO, is annoying. Especially when it allows you to do multiple things with a click of a button.

It's not the macro, it's the gear swap mechanic that is obtuse and annoying.

5. Ok, if it applies to both then I fail to see a problem. And doing those gear swaps is just as much as a choice as not having gear swaps and choosing the optimal gear for the situation as a whole. The only argument I see anyone have is that inventory space would become an issue I am sure SE is balancing that aspect as we speak. Also, I don't know if you read, but gear swapping exists currently on mages. I carry multiple potency chokers to swap on my BLM depending on the spell.

So if it's no better than what we have now, then why change? Just for the sake of changing?
