Fame

[Elexia]

I've never played FFXI? How presumptuous of you. Care to tell me how you know this?

Instead of saying something like:

"What would be the purpose besides it was in FFXI"

You would know what the purpose of a Fame system would be if you had actually played the game. Other games post 2002 started incorporating fame systems as well because *gasp*..it's a good system and opens the doors for content based around your particular playing habit.

This is why a Rank system (GC) is nowhere near close to what a fame system, they're 2 separate entities.

This is where I get to call you a presumptuous c**k and illiterate, because I asked for justification and purpose, and not what it was. There was no justification as to why someone would want this system in the topic. I know full well what the fame system did in FFXI, because I was active in the game for 5 years.

This is why a Rank system (GC) is nowhere near close to what a fame system, they're 2 separate entities.

Please, if you would be so kind, tell me why the GC ranking system would not be able to do what the fame system did in FFXI? What is stopping the devs from adding vendor discounts and recognition for high ranking members, or quests that require higher ranks?

And what would the purpose of this fame system be? I mean, besides that it was in FFXI and therefore must[ also be in FFXIV?

That's the only reason they need around these parts.

The company system is as close as we need to get to this

we already have turnins for rewards and such

[Antanias]

Don't want, it was boring as heck in ff11. Grand Companies fill that gap quite nicely

[Morticous]

well i was comparing the two to myself but in the grand company system all you do is trade seals and get a new rank and one new quest, or is there some new feature im missing?

its basicaly the same


in 11, and most other games, you do massive turnins, to get rank ups, and with those ranks you can buy stuff according to said rank

in 14, you turn in stuff, and you use the points you earn to rank up AND to buy stuff with said ranks


basicaly, it gives you purpose for using points and stuff beyond just the ranking up here

How is that any different from fame?

well for one i was able to participate in fame from each region, i only have one grand company..

two there was a lot more involved in gaining fame then just farming some stupid seals and getting one quest, they are sort of the same but gaining GC ranks is currently a pretty lame system. If they could somehow put the two together and improve on the original idea, that would be great.

As for Zenaku's point, I agree, howcome its ok to ask for ideas from every other game EXCEPT FFXI????? They are both from the same freaking company... FFXI at one point was 10000000000000000000000 times better then this garbage minus the graphics. I personally DO NOT like Wow so i'm likely not going to make any suggestions based on that game. Never played Aion, Rift, but i did play a few of the free Korean games. Nothing else i've played ever compared to FFXI.

So, why not instead ask for more quests and missions pertaining to GC?

The vast majority of suggestions come from FFXI because the vast majority of players who play FFXIV have only played FFXI. I have also critiqued suggestions coming from Aion and WOW. There just aren't any.
