[dev1021] Skill Points and EXP values are way too low.

Forcing people to level thm to 20 and putting it on their skill bar is not a good design.

LOL? I should start ignoring everything you post, you're not very smart and have no idea what you're talking about. Go play pokemon or something, seriously.

I shouldn't have to put taunt on my bars to tank WAH!!!!!!! ;_;!!! I shouldnt do something that takes less than a day to make my character 1000000% more effective! Nope! Never! MRD leveling pug or glad to 10 so it can tank better? Nope nope, never.

1-20 takes less than a day, siphon mp = unlimited mp. Very hard and complex to do. This is like someone complaining about needing to level a subjob in FFXI then running around with a /2 gimped subjob at 75. I bet you're that person, mr 75THF/2ninja. Actually, I doubt you'd have ninja unlocked, you shouldn't have to do a quest to unlock a job after all! That's forcing you to do something you don't wanna do! That's bad design! OMG!

Actually I think tanking in general is a crutch and it should be taken out of MMOs, but that's another issue. Of course you want taunts in because you'd suck at tactical combat if they were out. The player a mob should be targeting is the one that would give him the best chance to inflict damage on the other party. Not the person using an antiquated skill design over and over again.


As for what else you were blathering on about, if everyone had to use that stinking skill to play, then either the skill or the game design needed changing. Ubiquitous skills are bad. This has nothing to do with leveling. This has everything to do with bad designs.


RPGs have been out for over 30 years and we still have to argue over simple basics.

/sigh

SOOOOOO true. Tanking is over rated. Positioning should be the key, and combat should be more fluid and active. XIV is exactly the opposite right now, especially with auto-attack being implemented
