On Artifact Armor.

It's not just homam, it's homam, af2, nyzil gear, and salvage gear, plus we already had sky gear augments so why would af1 be left out?

I feel this is SE being cheap, and not being consistant.

How in the world do you come to the conclusion that the difficulty to obtain AF1 is even close to Homam, AF2, Nyzul, or Salvage gear and therefore deserving of the same treatment?

A toddler could get 5/5 AF1 in a few hours

It's more of a matter of perspective. At that time, without higher level help (read: not level 70+ when you did your AF1), the quests were rather vague and difficult (read: Wiki hasn't been around forever).

I don't think anyone said anything about the difficulty of obtaining AF1. Most armor sets aren't difficult to obtain, they are more of a grind-with-no-success thing unless someone isn't doing their job properly. At least, that's my experience on the matter.

Upgrading it would be consistant, like they are upgrading every other set of old gear.

Thank you, that's my point I been stressing. Consistency.

And homam or af2 is hard to acquire? Ask yourself why did they upgrade af1 to af1+1 in the first place, if what you said was true. It's easy to get all of these gear sets, granted some are more time consuming than others, but getting af1+1 requires a good amount of time as well, more than it does since af2 rains from the sky in dynamis. The only difficulty in getting af2 is there is a randomness about the drops, but theres also a randomness to the af1+1 items also.
