Wait wait wait....TANK REWARDS?

Because instant que, and 70% of dungeon loot geared towards that char type isnt enough? GTFO

If it was enough they'd stop getting instant queues and everyone else's queues would go down. And not sure what 70% you're looking at, pretty much every dungeons has the same shit for every class and all of it split by archetype and later on by specific class(like lancer gear, pug gear, archer gear etc).

There's no reason they'd do that, the class, while able to heal because the instances are faceroll, gets basically no healing tool at all until 30, and doesn't get a whole lot of MND either. But I'll admit, I haven't tried to queue as an Arcanist since like 3days after EA.

I thought they mentioned somewhere that they were going to allow arcanists queue as heals, or something. I don't mind healing as conj till later but I'd like to get the exp on arc if I can as I go. I only mentioned it because I thought it was in the works. And as you said, the instances are relatively faceroll; as a lower level conj I really only used things like medica just to mix it up.

While I am having fun, and really love the world (especially day/night weather cycle, really makes it feel alive) there are some absolutely dumb mechanics that should not have made it off the drawing board:

1) Crafting requires a stupid amount of shards. Like even for 30 minute food. Also:
2) Food poofs when you die. Fix plz!
3) For weaving at least, every 10 levels you can only advance with dropped materials, the # of spawns is stupidly low and hugely contested. Who wants to farm greys? What's mining/botany for??
4) Hey you've got a nifty Chocobro you can level up! Sorry, you can't mount with it out, even with another mount. Aaaand we'll kick you out of the duty finder!
(Seriously, whats the highest ranking Choco youve seen? Took forever to hit 4 on mine, and I'm only 5% in)
5) During the main story you get a communication device "So you can keep in touch with me, the main quest chick!" SPOILER ALERT: You will still take a ferry all the way back there to advance quests no less than 600 times.

I wanted to get my crafting skills up a bit, but #1 and #3 problem was blocking me. So now my conundrum when I log for the night is "Do I want to get rest exp, or wake up with 800 more lightning shards, or 600 fleece?" I wouldn't call it 'botting' per say, if it's just my keyboard hitting 2 buttons for me. I can't recall having to do this for any other of my past MMOs.

To further iterate on the post he's replying to: Goddamn Rob you're dumb. I have no problem with #1 AND #2 AND #3. Stop crying.

Eh, he's right. Culinary is extremely shitty and in dire need of another rebalance pass, and shards used per recipe is one of the biggest issues. The food only lasting 30 minutes and not persisting through death isn't necessarily a problem of its own but it certainly exacerbates the other things wrong with the design. And weaving not using botany-harvested materials after flax (aside from cocoons, which don't really count) is also shit-all stupid. Seriously, you cannot defend fleece farming, not with the way the tiny handful of karakul spawns is overrun with bots now.

Still better than Leather which is 100% farming mobs. And there's a system in place that lets you bypass fleece for leveling, so I don't see it much as an issue, and they're ok priced for endgame cloth.

And you thought SE White-knights were only on the official forums. Let them defend away! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for difficult leveling, but don't use shitty mechanics that encourage RMT bot abuse. If you have 3 tradeskills to 50 and zero issues with shards, then you probably bought them cheap off the marketplace. Grats on supporting RMT teleporting harvesting bots!

I thought it was pretty clear but ill elaborate. I don't dislike you as a person, I don't know you so blaaaahh but I do hate you as a player in this game that I am also playing. I fucking hate people that bot, I hate people that use fucking stupid excuses as to why they bot and jesus fuck I hate people that feel like they NEEEED to bot. If you do not have time to do it you don't get to fucking do it. "it's just my keyboard hitting 2 buttons for me" WHILE I FUCKING SLEEP. Fuck I hate you, again not as a person, just as a cheating fuck.

Lotta the blame lies on SE since, cheating in this game is so fucking easy. 0 built in anticheat kills a lot of the legitimacy of ...well everything.
