Offline crafting/gathering leveling

[Winterclaw]

In an effort to make the game more player friendly, what if it was possible that if you logged out in a crafting/gathering class, in that class's guildhall using a special option your PC would in effect be working around the guild as an apprentice. Because of that, he'd get a fixed amount of SP when he logged back in based on how long you've been offline.

For example, if you could gain 1% of what you need for the next level every hour, you could level up that class in about 4 days. It's not a lot, but every extra bit helps.

I'm not sure that's entirely fair. Will DoM or DoW have something similar, where they can get free SP just by camping in a particular spot? If people are given an option to gain levels / ranks by doing absolutely nothing, they will only come out long enough to do their leves, then immediately log off so they can get max free SP until the next leve reset.

New definition to casual mmo... you can beat the game now "WITHOUT EVEN LOGGING ON!!!!!"

This is a horrible idea in my opinion... sorry no other way to really put it.

So casual you can log off for 1day and gain 3 level per day you not log on and when you log on you talk to a npc and you get best gear for that level.

you pay 12.99$ for how many hours you played so if you played for the amount of hours it take to make 29days you have 24 left of game time ya!!!!!

I don't think getting SP to stay at a certain spot while logged off is such a good idea. However, if SE could make some sort of out-of-game mini-game that we can log in to play on Lodestone or something where we could gain SP I'd be all for it. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood had something similar for Facebook and I personally quite enjoyed being able to level my Assassins and gain more florins while out of game. While I'm wishing upon a star, I'd also like to be able to manage my inventory and bazaars out of game as well as chatting with friends and LS mates in game through a browser.

SE did say they like to make it so you can talk to your friend and linkshell on the website and on phone so we may see this sometime.

Wouldn't that make the game more NON-player friendly? :P

You obviously haven't tried crafting.

This is the worst idea I've ever heard of..................................... omg -_-

How much easier are we going to make video games? If this was actually in the game, I don't see how you could make the game any easier. You wouldn't even have to play to be playing the game anymore.

Let's just turn MMO's into game sharked games, INVINCIBILITY ON, LEVEL 99 ON, ALL ITEMS ON, 999,999,999GIL ON, GOGO!

Bad idea is bad. DoH's already have it easy, they don't need free ranks.
