Bold statement. I'm sure this system hasn't even affected you in any way outside the fact that it prevented you from obtaining hand-me-downs or vice versa.

This system goes a lot deeper than just trading stuff, a hell of a lot deeper.

I'm aware, some people build emotional attachment to their weapon. After they've outgrown the weapon, they want someone strong, fearless, and fearsome to wield the weapon next. With this new system, memories can't be passed from one player to another.

That deep?

Where in the hell do you keep pulling this emotional attachment crap from?

this system there implementing has a lot more repercussions than just not being able to trade gear.

the only gear i plan on keeping is my old dated sets to place on manikins, for status and show.

I got it from this thread. I'm not making this up.

That's one of many examples. Another could be the fact that anyone playing the game for longer periods of time(let's say a year or more) realize the only way to level up other jobs without going broke is to level their crafts. Then crafting doesn't become a personal play style decision, but a necessity. And in a couple years when 90% of the population has all their crafts at max because almost the only way to play the game. Then the ability to craft will be worthless for any other reason apart from supporting your own needs once and a while. And all of the other economical implications everyone having max crafting entails.

I mentioned but didn't go into detail on being "forced" to play a certain way. Keep in mind that you CAN be forced to do a specific action without direct influence, by giving you the illusion of a choice. Yes, you can say "you aren't being forced to play that way!" However, that would be choosing to ignore reality while justifying it with technicalities.

I think this will work great for the adolescence of the game. But down the road it will have big issues that can't be fixed by switching a rule or two.

No disrespect to anyone else, but this made me laugh so hard.
