Gamer Escape Interviews FFXI Dev Team Post VanaFest 2012

My personal opinion is that this game does NOT need another set of side-grade gear. Between AF/Relic/Emp +2s, Nyzul, Salvage, Limbus & Voidwatch gear, we all end up running around with 50/80 slots in gear or more, 'blinking' 2 to 3 times per single action because X piece of gear enhances X ability. It's actually rather ridiculous if you think about it.
I'd be rather happy to see gear implemented in the expansion that acts more like a one-size-fits-all piece of gear. Something that combines all the wanted enhancements of the other gear into one set that I don't have to change 20 times per fight.
But like I said, that's just my opinion.

wow i think people just like to complain. why are you freaking about gear. RNF and GEO will mostlikely be developed with newier systems in mind yeas alot of af is garbage now but was it horendus when it was first reliced? shal we start talking about why i spent 3.5 mil on my haubergeron/haburk back when that gear was paramount not to mention the ele staves NQ for over 500k each things have changed SE takes notice dnc was a lost art sch was banned sooo why would the relic wepons hold truth? i think i found the republican gamers. they give new options but we must comnplain about old things yeah + attack would be nice on dnc i wont lie so go build the attack dagger insetd of the eva dagger . and find a way to add en poison to it
