Just wondering if the rational for mashing all the DoL forums together was posted somewhere. I looked, admittedly briefly, and didn't see it.
I can sort of see a correlation between Mining and Botany in the types of threads and issues raised. But fishing seems like it would not have much in common. idk though, I don't fish too much.
I can see its going to be hard to tell from the subject which DoL class the thread is about... maybe everyone could start prefacing their subjects with "MNR","BOT", etc. otherwise it seems like it could get messy.
Part of me wants to say: you know Miner is a class just like Lancer!!! SE designed it that way and I would like to think it will end up having the same depth as any of the other classes at higher levels and beyond. We'll see.
I'm not all bent out of shape, lol, I was just curious....

It is strange, they are as similar as DoH classes are to each other. Might as well merge those.
I don't want to simply complain, but I would like to voice my support for having the forums separate again. I feel there was enough unique to each to warrant it, and to be honest it was a lot easier to be a constructive contributor when it was easier to sort through what was relevant to my class and what was not.

Agreed. I liked them better separated.
For what it's worth here's the announcement thread: http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?game=268&mid=1288208475198713203&page=1

This is the second time I've been here since the merge. The first time, I couldn't stand it. The second time I still can't stand it, but I thought I would post on the topic that concerned said discontent. I'd rather semi-empty forums that deal specifically with what I'm looking for than a cesspool of info I don't need.
Thanks for the link. I did indeed miss that announcement.
And I'm with you name, only the other way around. At first I thought maybe I would get used it and just rolled with it, but now that I'm coming back I really miss the separate discussions.
Its just a mess now. I find myself clicking on posts I don't want to click on (like I have no desire to read ANYTHING about fishing) because I can't really tell what's inside.
It reminds me a little of going through the market wards and finding tons of retainers in the wrong section :/

I for one would like to post support for separation of the 3 DoL classes into 3 forums. There seems to be enough unique to each to support such a move.
i agree to the seperation
For those keeping score at home so far its:
Keep DoL forums separate: 7
Keep DoL forums merged: 0
Keep DoL forums separate: 7

I agree, even though each individual class doesn't have a lot of depth, the three don't have much in common either.
I vote for separation again. Should we start a thread in General Discussion or something?

We could bump the original announcement thread.... although its full of people who are complaining that all the DoL classes are basically the same thing so not very productive.
I think the people that don't play DoL classes heavily are more apt to say they are similar, but those of us who really are digging deep into Miner or Botanist are seeing that there are differences and would like a place to discuss them.
Some themes are going to overlap - like loot distribution tables and node respawn discussions but I don't mind browsing through each forum to hit those discussions as they appear.
If you click on the Classes link at the top you can see that the DoL forums combined are now FAR larger than any of the other Class forums. In a lot of cases, splitting them up they would STILL be larger separately than say the Alchemy forum. So I'm not sure I really get the original intent of merging them.
