Which aspects do you value when choosing your gear?

Why does 98% of the playerbase hate Bastok so much? I'll never understand ;_;

Jealousy is the only explanation I've been able to come up with.

I like Bastok! And I hate Windurst...

It's not just Bastok that makes it less convenient...other nations can be just as problematic, especially something like Jueno where everyone gathers in a different zone than the porter moogle. You guys are missing the entire point about having to go to two different moogles instead of just one.

Going from point A to B to C is less convenient than simply going from A to C. You have to go to your moogle/moghouse to job change. If all your stuff is on you or with your moogle, you just swap gears right there when you job change, vs having to ALSO swap gears with another moogle.

Wonder if putting the Porter moogle inside mog houses would cause too much stress on the servers and that's the reason why they didn't do it, or if it's just a game design (BALANCE!!!) choice.
If it's the second I call bullsh*t, if it's the first then I guess... we regrettably have to accept it (PS2 limitations yo!)

Try getting there without having a being a citizen, or having a specific warp there. Not even the Outpost Warp is close, and even the two suspiciously close maw warps aren't very close. If it wasn't for a stead stream of city warp items for the occasional times I need to go there, I'd be driven mad.

As per the city itself... it isn't San d'Oria horrifically bad.

PLaying on 360 means some compromises due to macro length (refuse to press a trigger and button combination more than twice since it slows response time to much and fails often in a laggy situation). That means I'll often settle for a second best piece if it serves double duty and can be worn for both TP and WS. THe way my macros are set up I usually need at least 3 pieces of all purpose gear. And I usually put lowest priority on earrings since they generally offer the least bang for the buck as far as stats are concerned.

Before Voidwatch warps were added Bastok was the worst city to get to, the Outpost is miles away, no other city outpost requires you to run across an entire zone, and then zone into another area, and run across that one just to get to town. OP`s are supposed to be convenient, bastoks isn't.

Now though, with VW warps, moogle warps, stable collars etc its not hard to get there. I've never disliked bastok, i just hated how retarded it was to get to.
