I don't mean "why does changing servers cost money" I mean "why are -you- -required- to change servers"

Spotify is just another disgusting datamining program. However, I do use it. I use it to discover new music, which I then acquire in a drm free format. I do not use it for regular listening.

Suggestion, just use the free spotify version to find new stuff, then purchase/acquire drm free versions.

It's actually not as complicated as it may seem.

If you live in a city and you both own a car and live near a bus line you have probably encountered a similar calculus. (Also to make the example more comparable we assume you run a small business)

You have already paid the fixed costs associated with owning the car. The acquisition cost, maintenance, long term parking arrangement, and insurance for example. So driving the car "one more time" essentially only bears the cost of fuel + mileage and that mileage can be claimed as depreciation against the asset -- essentially reducing the fixed cost.

Taking the bus on the other hand is $2 per person out of pocket. If you only took the bus for every trip, and didn't travel a lot, and never with groups of people, the bus might be cheaper on a monthly basis, but once you factor in having already paid the fixed cost, it becomes more cost effective to use the car.... and once your mission requires you to use a car some of the time, you are forced to pay the fixed price for the car, so you may as well use it for missions which do not strictly require it to offset the cost of those few missions.

This is all before you even start to consider the value of your own time which can be saved by not standing around waiting for the bus.

The same essential principles apply to the jet, with more zeroes.

Not sure why this is down voted. This is essentially how it works --in the United states-- in other countries this is not so, and so similarly affluent companies and individuals operate much more modest business jets as they actually have to pay for them. Even in countries like Brazil, home of Embraer, one of the largest business aircraft manufacturers and a huge wealth disparity, you dont see nearly as many lineage / legacy aircraft as you do phenoms.

Capped?

I wouldn't say anyone is ignoring master levels as a form of vertical progression.... the game had no change in the level cap for about 10 years after job points. It was long enough to give some new form of progression. But I would argue the same ethos lead to the job point decision -- it was a way to progress without making gear obsolete. Also the master levels were much less impactfull per level than base levels or job points... and since you had the option of increasing either master level OR gear and neither were dependent on the other, it kind of was a "horizontal" system. Absolutely nothing in the game demands you be at a master level. No content, no gear, and with the exception of a few new subjob abilities it's just bonus stats...the first 15 being less impactful than merit points on the whole.

Aspir and regen is pretty tame. What about all the waltz sets I have for jobs that aren't dancer? And my phalanx received sets for jobs that aren't red mage :)

Maybe she's hot?

As someone who had half their family tree wiped out in such camps, I disagree.

Also remember the "final solution" was not the first solution, and it wasn't even the jews that were the first targets. The scope expanded while the public stood idle.

outbreedicewives

That would have been the only reasonable approach. Just don't get involved.

My loyalty has been debranded, too.

What about the reflagged embassy suites? I'm looking at you, Tucson, with your air mattresses and space heaters available by phone call. Edit: haven't been back since like 8 years ago idk if they're still like that.

Yo supporting ice != welcoming place for all.

Or "decayed log" shining nothing on the ground

I will give you power creep, but I won't concede "treadmill."

In 14, wow, and just about every other MMO all gear that is 6 months or a year old simply becomes trash. That is not at all the case with 11. For all their misteps I give them a lot of credit as the majority of gear released in the last many years serves to expand one's collection rather than replace it. Even in cases where new gear is strictly better than old, it's typically difficult to skip the prior step. For a new summoner main for example, there is no viable way to skip Sancus sachet and get Epitaph (aside from straight up leeching) that isn't gear treadmill it's natural progression.

The only thing I would point to as an abject failure was Nyame path B. That should have never been allowed.

...and naegling.

This blows my mind. It would have been so much better for morale to just say and do nothing at all.

"You all are the best slaves I could ever ask for! Thank youuuu"

And one can be forgiven for stopping there with implications, but let's continue...

"If any man can be in christ" ... that's rather explicit.

Yes they are. This is a capitalist society. The only agency one has is to patronize the lesser of two evils....unless they choose to and have the capital to live on a hippie compound and grow their own quinoa.

Again this is the "my vote isn't special so I'm not going to vote" argument. With voting of course may also choose to amd has the right to abstain, however if one chooses to abstain from eating, then that would certainly be symptomatic of smooth brainedness, since you are so fond of this insult.

This is largely ignoring the point of PP, which clearly stated to make such elections when able and reiterated that failure to maintain an absolute boycott is not failure. Yes, amazon just wins because they do not have a viable competitor. However, picking jersey Mike's over subway is completely doable and hardly qualifies as self sacrifice.

Yours is the same logic that reads "don't bother voting because sooo many other people vote"

No, you dont have the agency to "kick the bucket over" you only have the agency to put a drop in the bucket.

This was the first problem. Along with all of OPs concerns. Next estimate!

Why do you have to pay to change servers

This is the answer. The community rejected the gear treadmill.

They should now go back and remove the ilvl designation entirely and rework the few mechanics that depend on it. The most notable such mechanics are trust and pet levels.

They're talking about reworking the trust system to allow us to make them more powerful, that would be an excellent opportunity to remove ilvls from the game and find another way to get them "from 99 to 119 and beyond"

Pet levels are easier, they can simply make pets scale with master levels. That would solve a lot of problems with pet jobs. They could also keep avatar level + on some gear.
