How To Prevent The Level Cap Increase:

I'm going to start out by stating that if you don't like this idea, then don't even bother reading past what I have to say, and don't bother flaming me either. I'm merely making a suggestion and possibly solving this upcoming issue.

Judging by the 12,000+ views at this point on the "Level cap 99" topic, as well as the negative feedback in post replies, we can all assume that everyone is about as equally upset with this issue as the next. This is unquestionably one of the lowest things that Square Enix could do at this point.

So how do you fix it? Well, sitting on ffxiah.com forums and complaining with 300 other people is not going to solve your issue, I assure it. Square Enix employees are not paid to read these forums. However, they ARE paid to read the feedback. Now, I know this seems silly. Why would they read your feedback? Why would it matter to them at this point? XIV is coming out soon, why should I bother? Well, if you have any respect for this game, or the amount of time that you've put in to this game, perfecting your characters, testing out strategies, or parsing out numbers to find what's best in what situation, then you'd take 10 minutes out of your busy schedule and write a letter of feedback to Square Enix.

There are a number of things to remember when writing constructive feedback. I think I speak for everyone when I say that it's not every day that I leave feedback to anything. Here's a few tips on how to get your voice heard, while remaining respectful, and courteous in your feedback:

*Be assertive, but don't be rude. Square Enix does not want to hear ugly remarks.
*Get to the point. Don't make a wall of text for them to read. State what you have to say, and send it.
*Make your statement clear and bold. Make sure that they know what you are saying.
*Make sure that they understand that you mean BUSINESS. If you think that what you say may not be enough, tell them that this sort of behavior is not something that you want to see in future FF games.

Perhaps if the 12,000 people who viewed the "Level cap 99" topic are to submit a feedback, stating that they do not like the idea, they may just revoke it. While you may think that the feedback thing is a joke, it's not. Believe it or not, Square Enix employees are paid to do their job, so they will see what you have to say. It even says in a subtitle: "While we value your feedback and review each submission, we do not provide responses to these types of contacts. Thank you for your submission." You don't need a reply, just make sure that you send something.

When they see a healthy amount of dislike on this, they may just change their mind. ;)

Again, thank you all who actually do this. And to those who are about to flame me in a post, grow up, please.

Lol I like how you make everyone who agrees with you sound like a good guy but anyone who disagrees with you needs to grow up. Lulz

Here's the problem.

300 people are upset, so they voice their opinions about this.

The other 20000+ people are happy about this, but it doesn't affect them enough to create "hate threads" or "love threads" because they are waiting to see.

You are only voicing 1 side of the argument because thats the side thats most vocal at this point.

I'm just viewing that other thread frequently for something to read, especially since it moves fast.

Fix'd

Obviously you haven't been around the internet long, but online petitions do nothing. Look at L4D2 and CoD: MW2.



You're all going to play the new content.

Prove me wrong.

It doesn't matter if there's people who like it or not. I'm saying, if you DON'T like the idea, then don't just sit here and let them spank you about it. Let them know how you feel about it.

I don't see that changing anything.

not trying to flame, but dude, petitions like this never work. good luck though.

The only thing I don't like is that they stopped at 99.

I've always dreamed of chainspell AM and now I'm 1 lvl away from doing it.

/cry

My god that would be so powerful lol.

Well in all reality chainspelling Thunder 4 would be better. Slightly more dmg like 1/2 the mp cost... But it would look awesome

guess you'll have to settle for Manifestation AM2 :o

And run out of mp on the 2nd nuke? 4th if you are a taru AND get lucky on Conserve MP.

You're *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

i dont see the problem with lvl 99 to be honest...
more reason to log on and not be miserable...
people say this game is dying well i think something like this will boost morale to keep playing.
a petition based on 12,000 people not gonna help much if at all.
there are people who disregard even making a ffxiah page to even log onto.
its a moot point because im sure 80%+ of the population of ffxi will agree lvl 99 (Yes,Please)
people who invested 7 years into a video game aren't just gonna be like omg theres a new lvl cap i quit!
let alone the fact there are still people just starting the game atm lol.
not disagreeing with you at all sir its a valid point from some peoples eyes just think it wouldn't work.
btw i hate leveling jobs....but think of the outcome of doing so.

CS > Freeze > Freeze > Freeze > Convert > Freeze > Freeze... lol

Doesn't work on nukes. And thundaga has about the same base dmg of an AM2 anyways

oh...well that sucks. screw it I'm signing the petition.

And prepare to die the second you're out of MP and you've got 1 HP left from convert, lol.

Assuming the said mob survives.

i love all the new changes its good for the ppl who will not leave for 14 who enjoy this game. its almost like a whole new game. i mean what would you rather of hand 3 new bell emotes?

This

Self-hailstorm + Freeze II (or Blizzard V, or Blizaga IV) + Obi = what are you talking about now SCHs?

Edit: Oh, and lets not forget about Klimaform either....

I'm sure at lv 99 you'd have spells that would make chainspell > AM seems pretty weak. Remember you're gonna be 49 levels above the lv for AM. So in reality it would be like chainspell Stone (1) on a lv ~50 mob

Gungnir +1 and I are in agreement with Mogue.

But it would look cool. And if rdm doesn't get at least blizz 4 in those lvls alot of rdms gunna ***bricks....

I mean seriously a pup having higher nukes at 75 then a 99 rdm

This pretty much summed it up.

Oh man am I excited for the level cap increase. All the more excuse to see the new zones meant for leveling up to 99, the ability to solo/duo more current mobs without need for creating huge parties to take down something only one person needs... I wonder if they'll eventually increase the NPC level cap as well? It would only make sense...

Hm! I wonder what Paladins will get out of this? I mean, everyone's excited about the possibilities of the RDM of course, and rightfully so, but this opens up whole new worlds of job combinations, new and more powerful spells for generating and keeping hate, as well as finally feeling like an equal to the campaign NPC's whose power always made me feel inadequate!

Why must I wait until June?! WHY?!
