Yes but, the people actually playing the job aren't outside, or at a club, or sleeping, or having sex, or doing homework, or making money, etc.
I gained 13 levels fighting three Brulos today. It really does not take long to cap summoning magic. I also would not believe everyone botting their summoning skill up were simultaneously hanging out at a club whilst doing their sex homework and being paid to do it because they're *** then falling asleep when they're done.
I'm sorry, I guess I confused my own experiences with everyone else's.

I think it says a lot when skilling up Enhancing/Summoning/Healing/Etc is so *** boring that I would seriously rather sit around doing nothing than skill up. At least if I'm doing nothing I'm getting some mental rest.

Simply increasing movement speed or adding automatic flee would affect battle balance and content, so testing results might be a bit off. However, if the reason is that you'd like a way of accessing content faster to test, wouldn't it be even better to have a feature that would instantly warp you to the area or NPC you need to get to?
Overall, we would like to make improvements to the Test Server to create an environment that is easier to test in, so if you have any other suggestions please let us know (in addition to travel speeds and invulnerability, which we have jotted down!). | |

Actually they don't provide their opinions unless they are talking casually with players.
95% of their material is translations of JP posts, and those come straight from developers.
They mess up a lot though, and that's why it's good to have Slycer translating posts on BG so we can get both sides of the story in case they decide to leave an important note out of the post.

Rdm is good at surviving close range combat; it falls behind other melee jobs when it comes to, you know, killing things quickly and efficiently.
These concepts don't have to be mutually exclusive, but they are not the same.

Norg Earring, and thus easy access to Norg is actually one of the better things to have if your home point is set to your home nation.
It has AH and delivery box facilities.
Atmacite Refiner for easy voidwatch warp use. And waypoint for easy access to all the waypoints.
All within a few seconds run of each other too. Unlike where some of the NPC's are set in home towns.
And even if your synergy sucks (which mine doesn't as it happens :p) you could just make a Selbina or Mhaura earring instead. And use the waypoint there to get to Norg quickly. For the small additional fee of 30 er.. whatever that unit is that the waypoint bibbly bobs use..
You can make the Selbina/Mhaura earrings at 0 Synergy easily enough. You might fail a go or two. But they're doable on mules even.

| | Dev Request for Stoneskin Adjustment
Stoneskin has not ramped with the level cap increase and needs to be adjusted. A cap to 600 not including gear is what I am shooting for.
Another option if they don't want to raise the cap is lower the casting time by half, reduce the recast time and extend the duration to 30-60 min. The whole reason we have it up is because we are squishy and need another layer of protection.
I am creating a dedicated thread on this in hopes of garnering the attention it needs but this has been mentioned in other threads with varying ideas on how to improve it. Bottom line is it needs to be adjusted. |
It's definitely possible that we make upgrades to Stoneskin in the future, but we'd also like you to keep in mind that there is now a need to focus on defense stats to mitigate damage taken. Be sure to choose your equipment accordingly for when Stoneskin is up and we will continue looking into the upgrade and let you know if there are any updates. | |

While I agree Stoneskin does need a tweak in it's max potency that isn't gear dependant, I personally find the only time when I need Stoneskin is when I need to /heal and I have Sublimation ticking. Because of that, I'm not bothered at all in the slightest they aren't adjusting it ^^;...

Well...those same NMs today are easily found walking around now...nobody even interested anymore...its a lack of respect of forgotten wars we fought back in the day. I think SE should bring some spice back into the oldies...all those drops that became rare/ex...like Trotter boots, Valis bow.. etc. SE should make those old trophies become synthesis materials or upgradable thru trials.

Why in God's name would you want to bring back wasting over 20 hours of your life on something that could potentially not even drop, or another thing could spawn instead? I have NEVER understood how people considered that fun.
Yes, it can be argued that all accomplishments in the game are "wastes of time" but at least you're actually playing the game, not standing in Shakhrami for 20 hours STRAIGHT doing nothing.

This threads purpose is to be a collection of developer posts where they flat out tell players no, or they can't do that, or for whatever reason they come up with. These posts on their own cannot make a thread, but together I think over time it will be an interesting read so this is a bit of an experiment. There are enough of these posts that I skip every week that I think it would work as a topic, but I'll see how it goes.
Whether the suggestion of the player was a good one or bad one, if a post has enough NO! within it then it gets put here.

| | Greetings!
The reason why the previous version of Dynamis allowed for re-entry was because the Perpetual Hourglass was an actual item that continued to keep track of your Dynamis time even when leaving the area.
As you know, the renewed version of Dynamis requires the key item Prismatic hourglass and because it is not a physical item, it cannot continue to record your Dynamis time should you (or the monsters  ) decide you should exit Dynamis.
Time extension key items function the same way as well and are lost upon exit. (Even if you were to get them once again the information from before you exited would be lost.) So with that said, it’s not possible to change this that easily.
While it would definitely be convenient for some of the cases mentioned, it would be better to think of the current Dynamis as one large battlefield, meaning that exiting would end the fight. | |

We certainly understand your request to have Scrolls of Instant Repatriation as a purchasable item from Conquest Overseers.

| | Hello,
It's a good suggestion since the MP cost is included in the ninjutsu spell descriptions; displaying remaining your tools here would be possible. However, remaining ninja tools are not counted alongside ninjutsu, so I'm afraid it's not possible to display that information within the UI. Also, as previously mentioned, universal ninja tools would further complicate implementing such a feature. Therefore, there are currently no plans to add a remaining tool counter for Ninja. | |

Thank you for the suggestion! We can certainly understand the functionality of this request but this is where we currently stand:
System wise, we can extend the range that chat logs receive information. The issue is that if we do widen that range, it will cause an increase in lag. We wouldn't want an unexpected decrease in frame rate especially during intense battles. We hope for your understanding. | |

While the development stage for accessing storage items from other nations other than your home town might not be the most ambitious project on our list, it really depends on other tasks and milestones as well.

| | I still love the sword, but it seems Excalibur and en"light" should go along together and no have to compete.. at least let me know if this is a bug or intention - thanks! |
Greetings,
Correct, this is intentional. As some of you may already know, added effects from weapons cannot stack, thus unfortunately the added effect from Excalibur cannot be used in conjunction with Enlight.
Also, it is not possible to make it so the effect from Enlight activates when the added effect from Excalibur does not. Likewise, changing the priority so that Excalibur's added effect is higher than Enlight would require a complete reworking of the weapon as well as limit the use of Enlight, which is not a realistic approach to this.
With that said, we will be keeping priority on Enlight and would like players to choose which effect they want to use by removing the Enlight effect for the times they prefer having Excalibur's added effect. | |

| | Greetings,
Moogle storage slips were originally created to store items that you may not use as frequently. This is because storing and retrieving items through this method is not as efficient as storing things in your mog safe, locker, sack, or satchel.
If we were to give relic equipment +2 that has not been augmented its own moogle slip, and we continued at the pace, we would eventually reach a point where storage slips themselves would begin to clutter a player's inventory. So we have to be very careful about the pace at which we implement storage slips to avoid creating so many slips that they become inventory hogs as well. With these thoughts in mind, we ultimately decided to limit it to upgraded pieces only.
As for the time it took to get a response, I know that we have touched on this many times, but please understand that we cannot always reply to every single topic. However, that doesn't mean we aren't paying attention. When we have a concrete response for you, rest assured we will deliver it as soon as we can.

| | Hello!
Whenever we plan out which gathering-type items should/should not be stackable we always need to consider how many items that a player could bring back home after one session. For example, if we changed logs or ores the number they could take home would increase ten-fold. Therefore we need to consider all the effects this could have on the economy and be careful when considering such adjustments. With that in mind, we do not have plans to make these items stackable at this time. | |

We understand that a some of the posters feel that raising your summoning skill feels slow while others feel that the rate is not too bad. We brought your feedback to the Development Team to receive some insight as to how they feel about this system's current state. The team informed us that the rate at which skills increase when using offensive blood pacts against enemies was set high to compensate for how often they can be used. Due to this, they aren't currently planning to make any changes to the rate of skill ups. | |

We definitely understand the desire to have automatic ranged attacks and/or a toggle to switch it on and off. As the system is now, if we were to implement auto-ranged attacks, characters would be unable to use weapon skills or abilities during the ranged attack animation and the auto-ranged attack would interfere with the priority of the other abilities/WS. To address that issue would take a huge overhaul to the core system, so unfortunately it's not as simple as you might hope. However, we do understand there is a desire for an automatic ranged attack, and if it should change, we'll be sure to let you know. | |

| | Regarding Riftcinder/Riftdross Supply
Hello!
There is a difference in the market price because of a difference in demand. This isn't true just for riftcinder, you can say the same for any item. As the price and profitability of the item increases, it will be balanced by natural circulation and increased supply. On the other hand, if we increase the supply in accordance with the popularity of the event over time, it will throw off the balance. So, no changes are planned at this time.

{{I fudged parts of this a little where it got technical, but I think it captured the meaning behind the post.}}
Regarding extending the number of rows in macros; this has not been implemented base on our policy because it cannot be supported by the Playstation 2 version.
We've said this in other places, so I hope you can also refer to past posts, but this is in order to avoid adding mechanisms which can lead to botted actions, since you cannot execute many actions with one macro in the current state.

| | Regarding High-Level Synthesis Materials
Hello and thanks for all of your feedback!
Since materials used in high level synthesis are rare, they can be very expensive. That said, it is intended to be that way since they are aimed at higher levels, but we are aware that this presents difficulty as far as raising synthesis skills at these high levels.
One of the factors causing this is the location of where the synthesis materials come from, such as high-end content like Legion, since the distribution of those items is dependent on the degree of participation in the content. While there was initially very low supply, as some time has passed since the introduction of the content, the situation has gradually eased up.
However, we are looking at the current number of skilled high level craftsmen, and, while it is hard to say yet whether there is a sufficient supply of synthesis materials since the situation is just now easing up, we will continue to watch the distribution of these materials and potentially expand the availability of some of these items.

| | Regarding the Probability of Treasure Hunter Rising
Random JP Players Bunch of questions about TH |
(something something idk)
In the post at this time I'll answer with some brief comments. Since various things can change the conditions, it is difficult to provide a single answer.
There is an increased probability in the occurrence of TH level rising when the difference between the value of the player's TH and the value of the current TH level on the monster are further apart. Therefore, equipment that raises the TH level above the natural trait level will prove advantageous from the beginning of the battle or if the TH level has already risen.
There have been requests that THFs would like to switch equipment after giving the effect of Treasure Hunter. Since this would reduce the overall value of Treasure Hunter equipment by diminishing the benefit in raising the TH level, we will maintain the current situation.
Hopefully this answered your questions.

| | Regarding Storage of Alexandrite
Nagomu & NorthernSnow couple of quoted posts about alexandrite asking to allow trading up to larger units |
The purpose of the Cat's Eye was simply to avoid having to exchange an Mog Bonanza prize for nearly 300 inventory slots worth of alexandrite.
For alexandrite, the mechanism was designed with the premise that you would deliver the amount you've accumulated to the NPC each time. {{emphasized by the fact that the NPC is in Nashmau amirite?}}
We know that you may feel hesitant to trade your alexandrite to the NPC for fear that you might give up in the middle of collection, but when you are at this stage of creating a mythic weapon, you should already consider the risk of feeling that you might stop later, so we will leave the current situation as is.
Additionally, there were suggestions that we create units of 1, 100, and 10,000 like ancient currency. In the case of ancient currency, the aim of creating larger units was not to make it easier to maintain inventory, it was simply due to the exchange mechanism.
