Its not all to unreasonable, Dyna is no different except the gear comes from the same event as the upgrades. But if it didn't, you would never even have to goto Dyna, or get any rank missions done, because you can buy all of the forgottens from bazaars. You could have never touched Dyna since, say, 2006, and still get the +2 gear today. It sounds like it would be fair to have the ability to skip +1 with or without sea access. And while I agree, CoP being finished is very worthwhile, and extremely common now days. I think it is unfair to act as though it is so terrible someone mentions having a system built to allow people without it done. The entire reasoning behind doing it is for SCH, /SCH, and melee jobs. WHM has no real use of anything coming from Sea that you can not just buy for instance.
