I want a player job design contest so baaad

Actually, they should just leave the whole game for the community to handle. We surely know what's the best for the game.

i mean they really should have player contest in general for job, for primal fights for abilitys in design and mechicas I mean what harm would it do, they get ideas from us put it in and the one that wins and looks best to them gets added to the game.

With the number of entries, you would have and the complexities of actually designing a job, giving each entry their due diligence so as to sufficiently evaluate them in a meaningful way would be very difficult. Much so, that whilst the gesture would be nice, the results would largely be discourteous, in the sense that entries will not have been evaluated properly or sufficiently enough.

It works for furnishings and glamour since you're purely looking at it from an aesthetical standpoint.

uh, how about no.

we most certainly do not know whats best. and posting new topics several times a day in general forums doesnt qualify you for that.

game companies let players run games when they have given up on them and have zero ideas and zero direction. its usually right before they pull the plug. the more they let players call the shots, the more the games become an unholy mess that ultimately.. no one wants to play.

NGL for as much as I do complain about job design here, almost anytime I read a person's job design idea it's completely awful

You summed up the latest forum topics perfectly.
They should let the story and gameplay finally be designed by the knowledgeable forum users; one thing is FOR SURE, the game would not die out and allllllll twitch streamers would stream the wonders of ffxiv instead of any other game, beloved wow streamers that became ffxiv streamers and then again wow streamers would come back to us, no more apocalypse and subs go stonks.

Well, I'm not talking about designing a whole job with all their skills and all their potencies, just the general concept of the job: his name, role, weapon, a glam set, a small description and maybe his gauge mechanic.

You know that I was being sarcastic right?

And I don't think a single job contest would hurt anyone, I mean, they're going to choose the winner right? It should be at least somewhat viable.

My proposed job is golfer, and for its LB3 it powerdrives a lalafell into the enemy's face. I will offer no further input and will take no questions.
