Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[Wystan]

COP was changed because was a too old event and there weren't enough people around willing to join the capped areas and complete it.

So why condemn any new players to XI to the same problem in Abyssea?

[Teraniku]

CoP wasn't hard, it was just annoying. Your comparison makes no sense, either.

You mean the point of SE changing content (like a lot of REM owners are demanding?)

Asking for an extra 150 dmg on an empy no what are you asking for then that they stay the best forever?

Yes. That was the whole point of these weapons. They were to be the best weapons in the game period.

[/quote]We wana be able to upgrade our E/M/R......Why not upgrade to a whole new weapon or is it that the new weapons are just too easy for new people to get and you have nothing to extend your E-peen with anymore?[/quote]

WTF does epeen have to do with this? I could apply that stupid epeen argument to every piece of gear that you own. If you think that wanting good gear is a sign of some weird overly inflated ego, You might as well quit the game now. After all, you don't want people thinking that you are overly concerned with the size of your imaginary wiener every time you lot an item right? Better to stay at level 1 forever so that no one thinks you are trying to compensate for a lack of manliness.

This game was good at 75 now it's just all about the gear not the NM's not the story just grinding gear to get more gear........

And your solution to this is to get rid of old gear and replace it with more gear... What's it like to be schizophrenic? Is it super cool? or is it painful? Didn't you just say you wanted new gear to replace the old?

Why should this mmo exclude new players so harshly try getting a group of people that don't know you to go out and do vnm's yeah good luck....

That's pretty much the way that every VNM has been beaten since the inception of VNMs. Have you logged into the game since VNMs came out? There have been shouts for them all day every day pretty much ever since they were invented.

How are those new people getting on finishing the starter city clears of dyna/VW?

The same way they finished every other piece of content ever put in this game?

If they allow people to upgrade Empy weapons without obtaining the after glow well that's just a shame. Why should a half finished weapon be able to upgrade to the next form when it isn't even finished because of the amount of tears shed by less than 10% of the players but you are the only 50 people that bother to post on the forums every day and it's all tears.

This is what you are really all about. Stirring up crap. Do us a favor and at least post some entertaining memes and videos to accompany your trolling. Maybe step up your insults too. You can do better than this.

RDM needs a lot of work SMN needs a lot of work E/R/M need no adjustments at all but because of waaaa yeah lets get the two devs waste time on em because a few can't handle gear progression. XI has phased out sky gear ToAU gear everything and now it's abyssea's turn to be phased out and what do we have nothing but tears no yay we got new stuffs to get new nm's to kill no we want the devs to go back a waste time on R/M/E....

What does abyssea have to do with mythics and relics? Do you even play this game? You don't seem to even know what these weapons are.

I never played wow for more than the 2 week trial so your argument is that all old gear was worth using even after new gear was released.....?

Because that is total bs no one uses gear from pre 99 cap much at all ever most people only use gear from Abysea so should the devs go back and fix all the AF weapons ToAU weapons Sky weapons gear and don't forget all the gear from WotG or what about all the gear from AF quests yes all this gear is still well used by all..........No no it's not you are all just crying over wasting in your opinion so much time.

You're just not getting it guy and I doubt you ever will.

People are and still will be using gear from pre-level-cap for a long time. You're making things up now. They may not use all of it, but they do still use it. It's a terrible comparison anyways. You and everyone else here knows that the difference between a pair of B.Haidates and a 99 relic is monumental. None of the crap you just named ever held a candle to the difficulty of acquiring one of these weapons. What's more, none of that gear was ever promoted by the dev team as the end all be all of gear like these weapons were.

Try something like this. It makes trolling more entertaining:

So when abyssea came out SE stated that never ever will they make any weapons better ever this is the same crap that hit the fan when Empy weapons first came out and yes i have quit XI and not because SE phased out R/E/M weapons but because this game is nothing but macro gear and bot's are everywhere and new blood quits as soon as the first month is up. You cherry picked the questions nicely. Keep on posting like you believe your comments are what the majority of people playing xi are thinking too.

Why should the already stretched Dev team waste time and money on old gear when they could be making new and better gear no yes lets all stay on the old content and never progress onto new content or gear sets.

Lets keep on smashing our heads against that RNG brick wall lets make every new player have to go through old content no one wants to do anymore and please SE keep on making content that makes us have to do the same thing 150 times because it takes skill to get an empy.
No it does not it takes time and nothing more why not make it so new players can get a good gear set and go out there and play along side their fellow players with E/M/R weapons and everyone has a shot at the new best gear with minimal time wasted on old content no one wants to do anymore?

Guess what? We are asking exactly what you are asking for, new weapons! with the only difference that they use our REM as starting point!
If REM are so easy and just require time, why don't you own one? Maybe because they aren't that easy to get, huh!?
And new players can join, get bayld gear and do weapon trials if they wanna play together with any other player out there. Optionally, if they wanna be even better, they will be able to get REM or Delve weapons and related equip, yes, because the new equip you are asking for is already out there if you didn't notice. But probably you stay in your mog house using FFXI as a skype alternative instead of going out there accomplishing something, right?

It's an MMO. It's supposed that players work to get better! If they wanna play for a couple of days and to feel accomplished, they are free to install angry birds and slide their thumbs to death.

ITT:

People complaining about people complaining that their ultimate weapons, which are SUPPOSED to be the best, are no longer the best.

"You want R/M/E to be the best forever?"

...duh. That's what they were designed for.

What a complete joke, just like afterglow. No tears here.

I'd rather see 250 marrows goto 50 ppl finishing a 95 to 99 relic than some visual mark and trash hidden effect.

CoP was changed because it was dated and people were less likely to help on level capped missions. It left alot of people unable to progress. The fact that some may have complained about it is must different than the current situation, it really, truly doesn't compare.

Why does it not compare? All RME owners are asking for their weapon to be changed back to the best. You are asking for content (in this case, the weapon) to be changed so it's back to being the best. You feel that you don't want to do the new content because your weapon isn't the best anymore.

No, I want the weapons to be on top again, where we were assured they'd remain all these years. I think the new weapons should be nerfed because their over-the-top damage disrupts game balance. You totally missed my point, and yes, this is much different than them uncapping CoP missions and zones.
