Thoughts on this thing. Ok I did this Ambuscade because someone on a forum said I should do it for gear. I put it on very easy since I am solo use my 5 trusts it was pretty easy in that mobs did very little damage and it was just auto attack WS pretty much really no challenge or anything 3 mobs die in about 5 min. I get 50 hallmarks. Then I find the npc is only selling mage gear and I only play Paladin. I look up on the Wiki and it says the sets rotate every month. Which is not good game design at all.
Yea this is pretty dumb you can't get gear for the job you actually play. FFXIV is my main MMO now. This is basically the same thing as grinding tomes in FFXIV. Just imagine if you grind tomes in FF14 then can't buy the gear for your class. That would never happen people would rage. It's unacceptable to expect people to grind for a currency then make them wait 1-5 months until their jobs set comes up at the NPC to buy.
OK SE you want people to come back and sub to 11 but stuff like this really needs to change some of us only play 1 job and now you telling us we have to wait around 5+ months or something to even buy the gear?
I hope you take this feedback to the dev team. An event where you can only buy the gear you want once every 5 months just encourages people to un sub wait till the guy sells the gear you want then sub for that 1 month.
