    So which one do you think is better? Oh yeah you should enlarge and bold Role Playing for Yoshi, considering he's implementing class and rank gear, also he's also creating more distinctions between the classes.

    That's more like role-imposing than role-playing (classicaly speaking).

    And I would never presume to know which is better. It's a value judgment anyway, not a factuality. People like different things. And different people will prefer one over the other.

    I just wanted to know which one you prefer. That's all, if you don't want to answer I understand. But you're right, to each their own.

    I personally prefer the first of the two options, but even so, such a concept can still be implemented in a way which I would disagree with. For example, FFXIV was rather bad upon release even though I liked the overall scope. I put up with the issues because I saw potential in the game when and if those issues could be resolved.

    However, it's a different story nowadays. Now that the game seems directed toward Option B, I have to say I'm less excited about the future of the game, but I think I could still find enjoyment in it, maybe.

    Ah ok, now I see. Well, when the changes are over and things settle down, hopefully you'll find something new that will draw you in and keep you playing.

    Well it's not like anyone even knows where the fuck SE is taking FFXIV anyway. Im not even sure if THEY know. They are so confused by the mixed messages players are sending them. And the bad release has affected them, forced them to second-guess every single one of their ideas. Basically theyve just started pandering to the status quo, rather than trying to innovate. But that's besde the point anyway, and now im just rambling.

    To get back on track, however, I should like to say that SE really needs to address threads like this one. If not for players, then at least for themselves.
