On the contrary I am making one of the weapons from each coin path to compliment the empy I already have, and the Ukon I am in the process of finishing. These woe version's are fine for my less frequently used jobs, and didn't come with the added stipulation that I have to help on 2-3 other peoples weapons which is the norm for an empy static.

For players who do not dual box, or have no desire to join an empy static for w/e reason, or like people in my case who already have one or two empy's Woe serves it's purpose. 24 days of work for multiple WoE options, and a nice chunk of gil combined with the added bonus of doing it completely to suit your own schedule, and being beholden to no one is a decent trade off. Effort vs. Reward ratio seems balanced imo.

Additionally I didn't run out to abyssea when the update was released to level all 20 of my jobs to 95 like a noob. I went to WoE. So on the runs where I might not have received an OMGWTFBBQ loot pool it didn't break my heart because I was getting the xp I needed to get my jobs 90-95. It worked out well for me tyvm.
