ARR or Heavensward Classic

[Silverquick]

Well I do have to agree I miss the early stuff too,

Yeah there have been QoL... but I cannot recall many QoL that really impacted me that much. Moreso it was just.. nice. But not so nice that it made any real noticable change to the way I approached the game. While I certainly don't miss the "Elitists" they're talking about from back during the time period as I agree they were equally annoying...but the reality is... a lot of those QoLs removed a lot of challenge, immersion, diversity of strategy, and fun from the game.

HW was peak XIV, so HW classic for me

I'm a sick man, I'd happily Take a ARR Classic if it was something we could mess around with on the side.

[DPZ2]

Just ... No.

Bow Mage was not a pretty thing.

I think if people really want a XIV Classic then the devs should come up with a list of "These are all the QoL changes that will be removed" and see if people still want it.

If prior to Shadowbringers, they had explained that one of the QoL changes that would be removed from healers was any and all forms of fun, I can tell you what my answer would've been...

"We see that healers have been having too much fun with encounter and job design, so we will be removing damage from fights and also removing all healer downtime tools. Please look forward to it."

I would never play on it because ye olden days are absolute garbage. But I fully support this idea if it gets the homogenization whiners to clam down at last as they enjoy their miserable garbage rotations that are ~*so player expressive and complicated*~. And also laugh at warrior mains as they yearn for death until like 2.1.

The last part was gold ! XD

Yeah because the simplified dumbed down jobs where you mostly do a single 1-2-3 rotation and a burst is so much better. I rather go back to a time we had more than one rotation and a burst phase then mindlessly spam the same set of skills. Healers and tanks have become so boring and mindless I don't play them anymore other than just to level them to have something to level.
