"Unlocks" Game changers

[Jeeqbit]

Getting abilities or power from duties has been brought up on the forums before and I can appreciate that some people prefer to chase power instead of mounts. Yoshi-P has even expressed that he understands people who chase power in video games. I think it obviously goes back to that they want to make the game work for the most casual of casual players.

I think they could do it an alternative way by making it drop things that adjust playstyle or add optional utility and then make that utility or playstyle stronger as item levels grow.

My guess is they won't do this though since they will likely just do something resembling Skill Trees and Talents, the Blue Mage system, the cross-class system or phantom jobs (which if you think about it is a good way to test what works before adjusting jobs).

Yeah, mounts and minions are not my cup of tea of game changing experience. I want to see my characters having abilities that can help and change the game and to encourage those to unlock new abilities that can help those who want to try to do challenging content.

Occult crescent is a good example of this as well. I have enjoyed the content as it brought back more some MMO aspects that makes MMOs fun to play.
