    Has there been any mention by the devs of raising the squadron level cap to 70?

    Ok so before anyone responds with "blahblah command missions are traaaaash" or some variation thereof, let me acknowledge that yes, that opinion exists and of course for the individual holding it, it is valid.

    But for me, my endgame (once I've caught up the story) has proven to be the wonderful world of leveling alt jobs via command missions! I love it very much, and I foresee many jobs kinda pausing in the early to mid 60's once I can't feasibly take them any further with my personal army.

    I can't help but see this yawning gap between squadrons at 60 and trusts at 71ish as being something that should potentially be addressed.

    So yeah, have the dev team said something about this? It'd be a lovely change for a patch somewhere!

    Command missions are great, I really like them for levelling and increasing them to 70 would connect perfectly with the Trusts. I'd support bumping them to 70 in the near future.

    I find it weird that squadrons can't do more dungeons. The ignore mechanics and so some of the ones they are not allowed into makes no sense.



    Also I get BLU is a limited job. But who would it hurt to allow BLUs to do runs with squadrons.

    Man I'd actually get into BLU if they allowed that!

    I stopped doing Squadrons when the burst DPS was removed. I like Trusts. They are slow, very slow. But they work.

    Squadrons at the starting level are terrible with their current AI. If they were tuned to be as smart as Trusts, I'd probably use them to level DPS. Nothing quite like trying out ARR dungeons with their annoying Invulnerable phases and they keep attacking. A pain to direct them on controller as well.

    I'm all for it, but they seem to have abandoned them, they didn't even update their skills after skill changes (tanks still having Flash and all).

    I had been saying it for a while now that I think they were just prototypes for the Trust system.

    This is the right answer. They were an AI test for trusts.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Hoping they will add more grand company ranks and let your squadron level up to 80 soon.

    I believe all of their resources are tied up in the ARR revamp along with the usual new content. It would not surprise me to see the ARR dungeons updated to use trusts and focus less on squads.
