You know how long and how much delve would be required to make the new weapon for all 20 jobs? A !@#$%^&*()load of time. Entirely too much time.

Now, you could say, "well build one weapon and play one job" that's not how FFXI works, and that's specifically why I play it. Now, there WILL BE options that are better than these new delve weapons, but in the meantime.... if you lack a delve weapon, you're seriously underpowered for any content that gets added...

So to me, this is a HUGE setback, there is literally 0% chance of me making or buying 20 AH/Delve weapons, literally ZERO.

So, I'm supposed to quit playing 18~ jobs and make 1 maybe 2 weapons at most before I blow my brains out from absolute boredom grinding ANOTHER dynamis style kill everything that moves, OH HELL TO THE NO.
How about building 5 weapons and play 5 jobs? It's not all or nothing, you know. Also, with the elitism that is no doubt going to take place, all your empy weapons are gonna put you first, or near first in line for alliance invites. Also, if you had time to get all those empys, I don't think you're gonna have trouble finding time to make at least 10 delve weapons. After all, one weapon could be made in one day, assuming you had the day off (like a weekend) and got lucky on the KIs.

5 weekends for 10 weapons? Sounds a lot faster than whatever you spent on your empys!
