I feel like the problem with hp washing is the realisation that you cannot progress further into the game without doing so early on in the game. Alot of people I meet literally quit because they reached around lv 135 or so and realised they couldnt progress and partake in a number of the game's bosses because they didn't know about hp washing before they joined the game. What I would like to suggest is for there to be an end game mechanic which is completely ridiculous but will somewhat give these players hope to continue on with the game despite not hp washing early on. As we all know hp washing can cost upwards of 20b(in the case of NL). My problem isn't with the cost, it's with the way you have to spend the 20b(upping int,leeching,doing so till 135). This makes it a huge problem for new players that want to play corsair,NL etc to start as one. These jobs are hard to level as it is and the new players that level these jobs are greeted with the reward of the lack of hp washing and the realization of them not being able to compete in end game bosses. My solution: I would like to propose to put a quest for lets say require 1b meso for 100hp.(This is hypothetical,numbers can be tweaked) This way new players will not give up on their characters as the hope that they will be able to reach 30k hp will remain alive. Ap resets and hp washing will continue to be a thing as it will be much more cost effective compared to this method so the hp washing economy doesn't go boom. I believe this proposition will help maintain a lot of the player base as I believe the problem isn't hp washing, it's that you have to do it at the start of the game or you're character is doomed. Thanks for reading I wrote this idea at 3am so it might be complete nonsense but it's making sense to me at the time of writing.... lol
