Scrap current classes or keep as is?

[Lautus]

I have multiple classes at 50 and voted no to a character wipe back in one of those polls. However, if we were told to choose between a character wipe and this new job system, I might actually choose a character wipe. Even now.

They should have just removed the weapon=class restriction but kept all of the current classes. Restrict/move some of the abilities like they're going to do anyways and introduced these jobs and advanced classes that you need to level up. Sure, the names of the current classes might not make sense but at least the armory system will.

I have CON and THM at 50, so with the current system I won't need to do any more leveling until the cap is raised or more DoM classes are added. The DoW classes I don't have at 50 are not appealing to me. So I guess all of this r30 content will just be r50 solo content.

Hell no!

The classes are fine as they are, you are already getting jobs, Auto-attack, and have single-handedly and systematically destroyed EVERYTHING that made FFXIV unique, fact: Most of us don't want to play a rehash of FFXI!!!!

Fact: most people already quit the game >.>

Good for them, I'm not them, and this game should not be a ffxi clone either.

Well unfortunately unless you have very deep pockets and can afford to keep the game afloat SE will go with whatever will bring them the most subscribers/money.

Besides, the majority who quit are the ones who were expecting a ffxi clone to begin with, so your argument is moot.

Even if that were true which I do not believe it is, then SE would have been better off giving them what they wanted and give them a "FFXI-2" and maybe out of the 500k box sales they would have been able to keep enough subscribers to actual make the game P2P and built it up from there. As it is FFXIV is not doing so good hence why it is F2P and the dev team are scrambling to get it back on track and get it to a point where they can charge monthly again.

Scrap it and give me FFXI-2. I've given XIV enough time to fix its faults and they continue to stumble on their faces time and time again, lets just go with what works.

yeah, I would say my last statement is very true, and I'd take an original game over a graphically-enhanced remake anyday, especially since this is not and never should be a ffxi-2.

Actually if that were true it would make your argument moot.

I happen to agree with you. XI is a closed chapter in my life and I was looking for something new and fresh. Every day XIV is being remade into XI-2 and it's driving me away.

...but you can't say the majority of people don't want XI-2, then turn around and say the majority of people quit because they wanted XI-2 and didn't get it. Totally invalidates your original assertion. ^^ Sorry. Stay focused and fight the good fight!
