Dynamis can be lowmanned easily. Dynamis 2.0 is probably going to make it several times easier.
Money isn't hard to get unless you're stupid. Have you even seen the amount of money people will pay for stupid things like Ironclad drops and Catarae kills now, as well as HNM drops back in the day?
Anethia put it by far the best way. You can continue sitting around crying for your updates. An easy, cheap and low risk alternative is sitting right on your lap and you're turning your nose up at it. The only reason I can even fathom people getting upset over this is pride. You spent time getting your awesome weapon, but now there's something better.
I spent 2 years and 20 million Gil in Salvage to get my full Usukane set and Empyrean armour slaps all that work in the face. Does that mean I'm automatically entitled to Salvage upgrades and get to whine when they won't be on par with AF3+2? Of course not, I just set myself new goals to improve my character!
