I sort of wish players could only choose one job.

Well in order for that to happen SE would have to remove the more money for character slots. Make all content cake walks so the poor people who only have the one job arent left out.

They already are removing the whole more money for character slots thing. Standard/legacy get 8 character slots for the sub cost.

completely agreed. i don't mind being ale to level every job, but you shouldn't be able to cap every class in the game within a month like you could do at the end of 1.0. if they drastically slow down leveling it will take care of itself post level cap increase because less will get all leveled beyond 50, but the current speed is beyond crazy.

too bad it is too late for a lot of us who capped everything. doesnt much matter how much faster or slower they make lvling, except on alts.


Its also much too late for SE to concider 1 job per character. They would have effectively wasted a lot of peoples time spent leveling everything. I wouldn't have cared which way they went if they did it from the beginning, but its not going to change now.

i agree, it's too late for them to fix it while the level cap is still 50, but once the cap increases if they slow down leveling to where it will be you will see less people getting all classes ranked to the next level cap. that's why i said post level cap increase. at 50 yoshi pretty much screwed that up just as bad as he possibly could have but it could still be fixed in arr after the level cap increase.

what i look at is the amount of all capped classes will drop by attrition if they slow down the leveling curve.
let's say at r50 you have everything capped.
at cap at 55 you go from all classes capped to all but 3.
at cap increase to 60 you don't get 3 of those classes to cap.
at cap of 65 you don't get 3 of those capped.
at cap of 70 you don't get 3 of those capped.

just using that attrition due to slower leveling and massive sp increases to level you have went from everything capped to having 12 classes that aren't capped by level 75. by the time you got to the eventual cap of 99 you would only have a few classes at cap, but by that point you would have played long enough to know what class/classes you want to concentrate on. sure, there would be some people that played like crazy and was able to get all classes capped even with slower leveling and higher increases in sp to level, but they would be rare in each server and not like it is now with a big percentage having everything at cap.

I would think that would kinda suck cause your being restricted on your classes/jobs/crafts.

not really. the longer it takes to get to cap the less you will get done in a single time frame. that's pretty basic. yoshi stated he wanted to increase the cap every year or 2(i actually don't like them being raised that quickly, but that's another argument).

i look at it more of it's not a restriction because you have choices. you can decide you want to concentrate on leveling everything or only concentrate on a few things and do the content each raise. me? i'm a leveling fanatic so i would get every class capped, but i know by doing that i'll miss out on tons of content. it's a choice instead of being forced to do it one way or another.

i just will not go to the norm of having to create an alt to level each class since we have already invested 2 years into our characters. if it was something that was in the game to start with i'd deal with it even though i don't like it, but after 2 years to make that change i'd just drop the game. i have too much of a connection to my character over the last 2 years to start off on an alt to level a class all over again that i have already leveled once.
