Do you mean right-clicking an item to extract it immediately without going through the usual process? Or just right-clicking to add it to the extraction UI? If it's the latter, I'm about 60% sure that's coming in an update soon.

That's the part I don't get. I can understand having a limited quantity of something, but why in the fresh flowery HELL would you not only have a limited quantity of something but also allow people to buy two apiece. Who in their right or wrong mind signed off on that little piece of BS‽

They've only done maplefest twice now, but if it's going to keep being an unmitigated goat rope year over year, I can't see it surviving beyond three or four. Hell, I bet most people who go only tolerate it for the best-in-slot emblem exclusive to the event.

i see thank you guys i was just so confused iv been playing the game for so long i though it might be an explore that has gotten to over level 100 with no classes i know that use to be called a level 100 citizen and that was super rare so i guess i was pretty close

You're... kind of still wrong. Citizens are just jobless resistance characters.

"???" is the shade "beginner" job. The story goes you sacrifice your "time" to seal the black mage and then you wake up in fox point village on vulpes in grandis with absolutely no clue how you got there, not remembering your own name. The name "shade" is given to you by moonbeam.

That said, it technically is a glitch because, as far as I know, there's no legitimate way to get out of fox point village before being advanced to shade.

The game's changed. What you see as a step back, others see as cutting out the fluff. What you see as going too fast and missing all the content, others see as not having to waste their time.

You seem fixated on the sub-100 content, on slowly meandering through everything until you get to 100 and 4th job. Then what? You say there's no point playing just to grind if you can hit 4th job in a matter of hours or days, but what would you realistically do at that point regardless of how long it took you to get there? By the sound of things you dislike grinding just for its own sake.

I used to do all of the low-level theme dungeons on damn near every character I made. I'd go through ellinel, gold beach, riena strait; hell I would even slog through mushroom castle. And in those two-dozen trips through the same theme dungeons, I saw other people maybe 30% of the time, never more than three people in any one given place. There really isn't much to miss, other than a few hundred spell traces, a couple million mesos or so and some equips that are replaced by the time one hits 100.

The shortest way to put it is that the game has changed. The pacing was sped up and the meta is essentially grinding as efficiently as possible.

Party quests are dead, partying to grind is dead. Most people only care about getting where they're going quickly. You may not like it, and there's nothing wrong with that, but to say that they ought to "fix" the game is pretty much just "I don't like this, make the game how I want it" wearing Groucho Marx glasses. It's fine to dislike the direction the game has gone, and you would be far from the first to walk away from it for that reason, and no one would blame you.

That being said, you still ought to give things a chance. Have you actually done anything in the game yet since coming back? Seen all there is to see beyond level 100? There are theme dungeons above 100 too, if you didn't already know. There's the grand athenaeum right at 100, lion king's castle at 115, fantasy theme world at 120, korean folk town at 125, golden temple at 130, crimsonheart castle at 130 as well(used more as the stepping stone into commerci and gollux), kerning tower(formerly square) at 145, stone colossus at 150, omega sector at 165 and fox valley at 185. And while you can't just daisy chain yourself from one to the next as easily as the sub-100 ones, they're still breaks from the grind.

Once you hit 200, the arcane river opens up and I'm not even going to try to defend that miserable slog of grinding.
