Yoshi-P, are you listening?

We want a major rehaul of the battle and class system, and we want it NOW! There are some awesome games coming out this summer! We don't need FFXIV!

Actually that's not what the majority wants. The player poll was quite clear, and the majority wants more content (understandably). In fact content is coming. It's called companies.

You != We.
"NOW!" != Realism.

1. What do you feel are currently the most significant issues with the battle system?
21.9% - Lack of class uniqueness.

6. In addition to enhancing class differentiation with essential attributes and distinct appearances, we are also looking into introducing class and rank requirements for equipping gear. How do you feel about the implementation of such a system?
70.8% - Yes

8. Would you prefer option 1, option 2, or the current system?
56.0% - Removal of physical levels, and the addition of class-specific allotment of attribute points for each class based on rank.




Late Edit:

What are the changes that players are expecting the most?

Opinions vary world wide, but when we really think what is in common, most probably the battle system and the class balance, as long as those two issues are solved, other things can be solved as well. So I think these are the two areas the players are asking to be changed.
