Please get rid of surplus SP

[ApplePie]

I agree /10

[Dreamer]

I don't think it should be removed until players learn self control so that FFXIV doesn't have to try to nudge them into it.

I've been playing since open beta and until last night I'd never ran into surplus SP. Don't stay in one job and don't play for 8 hours a day and it's not a problem.

I used to have the same kind of mentality...until I was starting hitting it working on TAN in my early 30's. There is no real reason to have it, and many believe (myself included) it is just a cockblock implemented to keep people from being too much higher than PS3 players. Considering the PS3 release is somewhere down the road, I don't see the need to keep surplus. Hell they can get rid of guardian aspect as well if they want to slow down SP gain a bit, I don't have a problem with that.

At least turn it off for now while they redesign the battle system.

Why in the Flaming Bunny Marshmallows is this thread still alive? Surplus will not affect any normal humans in any nominal way. Considering leveling any other class will lower your surplus on other classes and if you say "Hell no" I say "Bugger Off". SE and XIV are catering to a certain crowd, IE Not you. There are other games for your play style available to you.

Looks like you are wrong

I won't be wrong until they remove it, which won't be any time soon.

[HayaHime]

Yes please!

Remove the surplus please, let me craft all the day without wasting my hard to farm mat's (looking @ Flax >.<) by skilling up under surplus ; ;

皆さんこんにちは、プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。

潜在値に関してのディスカッションありがとうございます。
同様に他のリージョンのスレッドでも同じような声が挙げられていますが、
レイドダンジョンの実装と並行して、基本的に廃止の方向で検討中です。

プレイスタイルは、プレイヤーの皆さんで、決めて頂くのが理想と思っています。

Hi Everyone, this is Yoshida.

Thanks for the discussion about the Surplus system.
There have been threads about this on the other region forums that talk about the same thing, and after we're done implementing the raid dungeons, we'll consider/investigate the basic removal of the surplus system. I think it would be best to let the players decide their own playstyle.



YES! A winner is you!

If they where to remove the surplus system I think they would probably adjust the sp curve as well or adjust sp in general. With the current sp with leves with no surplus it would put you under 4 weeks for 20-50 with only leves.
