    Well.....being good or bad at a job is subjective, so I don't actually give opinion about whether I'm good or bad at my job.

    It is fact that there are many ppl told me "You're good at X job" (and vice versa......sometimes!) in my life. However, most of the time gear is the deciding factor, that's what I was saying. If I fail at doing something, it's mostly because I lack appropriate gear sets, if I parse high in an event, it's also mostly because of the gears.

    I mean, there's a limit of how much dmg you can do with bad gear....and there's just nothing you can do about it. So how can gears not be the major factor affecting your performance?

    So they should make mythics drop in AA fights? Is that what you're saying? /s

    That's not what I was saying at all.....

    One might say that you need..... wait for it...... skill?



    See the above definition of skill.

    So by your logic, I can go read a forum, ask how to gear X job, and perform properly based on other ppl's experience and tell you "I'm a skilled player!"? Not convinced.

    In FFXI you can basically just copy and paste gear sets from other ppl and do exactly the same thing.

    After many years playing FFXI, I have encountered many NQ player outparse RME owners, but I've never encounter "1 gear set" player play better than someone with multiple sets, unless they get lucky or something.

    Personally, I'm not sure how can that even happen unless the "best gear and multiple sets" player can't even click macro properly....but seriously? - -
