AOE Rings

Q29: Do you have any plans to implement elemental weaknesses/resistances? Also, please tell us why you eliminated these.

A29: There was already a lengthy response about this on the Beta forum, but to give you an example, if you are fighting Ifrit and his weakness is water, then classes and jobs that are proficient in fire would be excluded from participating. Since we want to make participating in content easy with the Duty Finder, we felt that this wasn't good and decided to get rid of it.

Is that not evidence enough that they chose the easiest way to design their game?

Is that not evidence enough that they chose the easiest way to design their game?

No, it's evidence that they made a design decision to avoid marginalizing certain jobs with certain encounters, forcing people to level up all jobs if they want to see all the content in the game.

It's in no way any evidence that it was an "easy" decision, nor that it was a factually bad design choice.

What you personally like or dislike is in no way an indication of a good or bad design choice.

Hence the need for you to distinguish between fact and opinion. What you wrote has nothing to do with fact.
