A suggestion?

[Kirafey]

I'd prefer not to be able to change gear while standing ect. ex: I'm Whm main and I have hate in moogle nuking before summon then I'm able to switch to healing gear. at least make me sit in a corner for a bit is all I'm saying.

Can you change gear at will while engaged, as long as you are in passive mode?

If so (I'm not even sure, I haven't played magic classes/jobs much), I think the OP is saying they would prefer not to be able to do that anymore. Which I would think everybody should agree with, since everyone seems very against going back to gear-swapping like in FFXI.

OP, if that is what you desire, I would definitely agree. This almost seems like a flaw in the design, rather than working-as-intended. Instead of only changing gear in passive mode, it should be you can only change gear when not engaged in combat.

Consequently, I wonder if the game even tracks that...Can you teleport when in battle, as long as you are in passive mode?
