Do away with those weapons being wanted and what are you left with?

Reives, Legion, and Meebles. Not to mention how most people make their money farming those things atm, and since they've completely broken the AH of all leveling items Crafting or leveling Crafting is all but impossible, or the most pointless thing in the world.

I cancelled my Sub today, there's just no point anymore, telling other ppl to like the new content or leave will only hasten FFXI's demise.
(Specific reply to quoted post):
You're allowed to like old content still. Just like people 6 months ago could farm evoliths and do avatar battles for equipment if they wanted, you will still be able to do older events if you want to. If you enjoy specific content in the game, by all means, do the content you enjoy.

(General reply to overall thread):
But a reasonable human being should understand that an MMO is an evolving game. It is foolish to get the best weapon in the game and honestly believe it will remain the best weapon forever. What if level 75 relic weapons were still the best weapon in the game? It would be boring. Everyone would have one by now and have nothing new to reach for.

If you think the new weapons are better than your current ones, don't think of it as your old weapon becoming worthless. Your old weapon is solid enough to take you that next step up to the higher one. This complaining seems as pointless to me as complaining "WHAT?! I HAVE TO KILL THINGS WITH MY WEAPON TO MAKE IT STRONGER?! I HATE TRIAL OF MAGIANS AND REFUSE TO DO IT! I QUIT THE GAME UNTIL SE RECOGNIZES MY WEAPON NEEDS TO BE BUFFED AND I DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO GET IT!"

It's a game. If SE just hands you the best stuff in the game for doing nothing, you're not actually playing the game. Go play and get your new weapons.
