new gear when you switch from warrior to thief when you've already worked for months on your main to get good gear? An mmo, and rpgs in general, tend to come with the understanding that each new character you make(or save file you start) will require work being put in to get it on the same level as your other character or file.
Gear and AF are not the same thing, how many times are you going to repeat this false equivalence... (less)
lot of people have is going to get them a whole lot of nothing
And I suppose your compromising 'in the name of balance' attitude is going to get us anywhere meaningful? Give me a break, what we need are solutions not bandaid fixes that amount to basically nothing.
that. They wouldn't have added the arcane catalyst item if they had any plans to simply make it server-wide. Next best thing is to come to a middle ground, and that's either what I said before about sharing the quest reduction server-wide, or changing catalysts so they don't nuke 20% of a symbol's exp upon transfer.
You also have to remember that you and many others do not encompass or speak for the rest of the player base. What you and the many others absolutely refuse to accept might sound reasonable to others.
I didn't speak for them, I'm just guessing that most of us do NOT want to restart leveling AF regardless of whether we're getting AF sharing or not. Like you said, it's not happening for us, simple as that. (less)
to be done regarding the symbol grind, but I don't think sharing it server-wide is the best option. It'd be like sharing starforce server-wide, and that just sounds silly. What I'd like to see, if it were possible, is for the progression-based daily quest reductions to be applied server-wide. If you get to morass on one character, all characters on that server only have to do one vanishing journey quest to get the full eight-symbol reward, one run of hungry muto for the full reward, and so forth.
I feel it's a decent compromise, since we all know full well they'll never change it so arcane force is server-wide. You'd still have to work at it, but the amount of work for a newly-5th-job character would be drastically reduced and, I feel, reduce the hesitance for most people to switch mains.
That still won't make me (and many others im guessing) restart a character. Even doing a single daily is enough to repel me away from ever maining another character.
AF sharing is the final solution to the dailies question. (less)
for a future patch", because another pitfall to this is more than likely getting it signed off on by the Korean overlords. That alone is reason enough to keep your hopes guardedly low.
why wouldn't it get signed off? Did you forget that the GMS team are part of the korean overlords? You seem to have a chip on your shoulder when it comes to these types of solutions and at times just seem like a party pooper. (less)
