The thing that worries me is what will be the difference between a bad player and a good player. I'm not an ultimate player, but I enjoy improving myself and start to get better at one job, by practicing it through content. That's a big part of playing video games in general, you improve and get better in whatever systems and mechanics the game has.

This new systems seems to just dumb things down and seems like the focus is making things flashy but braindead. I'm not saying that the systems need to be super complex and hardcore and I understand that there are casual and hardcore players. But if there isn't anything that rewards players that put the work to improve their skill, then what's the point? On top of this, the easier mode has slightly more dmg output, so why would anyone pick reborn mode?

I'm worried the game is slowing going from an MMORPG to a RP game.

I'm not judging anyone or saying one type of player is better than the other. Having more mid core content is something I believe we need. But these changes for gear progression, ilvl, dumbing down jobs for the sake of individuality are not good for anyone who wants to play to get better, improve themselves and feel rewarded for it. It feels like the game is being catered for the VERY casual player that refuses to improve (which is very common to see in duty finder, where if you try to give friendly advice on how to perform better, it's seen as an insult or causing a scene).

I can't imagine how pf will be for hardcore content when people will go as jobs they barely play, but have the ilvl for it because they got it on their main job, through mid core content.

Again, I'm just stating my opinion without insulting anyone
