Surplus was added to players could not reach max level because what the point of getting rank 50 if there was noting for players to do? I think SE should keep the Surplus system up to 50 then when FFXIV have a new level cap you no longer have surplus. Or just take off all together but i think surplus is added as a level curve While in ffxi you needed to stop to level up Sub jobs and unlock limit breaks. FFXIV have surplus allowing all players to gain the same amount of Sp and give the players that have more time to play to switch to other class. But it still lack players who have more time to play still gain more level 50 matter with surplus or not SE should fix surplus or take it off.
