On the Removal of Positionals

[Lorika]

Would you care to explain why it's "no to everything"? If you look at my more recent posts in this thread, I've supplied substantial information about why I firmly believe in these statements.

In contrast, you have made a blanket "no" statement and provided a hollow argument about other games. First off, there are other games with positionals, but also ... FFXIV isn't every other game? I don't want FFXIV to be just like any other game, so does it really matter if it has a mechanic that every other game doesn't? After all, if you want to play a game without positionals, you can go play one of those other MMOs :^)

I don't think I'm in the majority across FFXIV. But I firmly believe we melee players enjoy positionals, and that most people who make takes like yours don't main melee, especially not at a high level -- which, no offense, is obviously the case for you as well.

Typical.

Ok i'll made it clear, since you are dismissing or avoiding on purpose my point... and calling it "hollow argument" (yeah right)

It's not a matter or like/dislike.... I say NO to a a loud minority asking to introduce/reintroduce a bad and poorly designed gameplay mechanics that no other MMO use (or like i said for situational purpose).

It's time you start to open you eyes on how crappy and useless FFXIV positional are.... They clearly were added in the first place to create a false feeling of "action" in a quite static MMO.

An like i said, if you want "action" go play BDO (or maybe GW2 if you want a strange hybrid between tab targeted and action with no positional ^^)

Again, this argument is really hollow. You have no statistics to PROVE I'm in a loud minority (even as I am providing lots of statistics proving that the current positional-filled melees are really popular), and no proof that the vast majority want positionals removed. Unless you can poll the entire playerbase to prove me wrong, this argument will always be hollow.

You still have no in-game, evidence-based argument for why positionals create more frustration than fun. I encourage you to stop using the other games comparison because, again, other games are not FFXIV, therefore FFXIV does not have to be like every other game.

Good try though.
