Of all the most condescending, elitist, stubborn... (I think you catch my drift). Get off your high horse dude. Maybe you've played from 2004; maybe you've gone and gotten your mythic. Maybe you've gotten your relic, back when it was actually comparable to a mythic. Maybe now you can get an empyrean. Maybe not. But if so (and I sincerely hope you have done all three of those things to argue the point you've been attempting to make), but if so then of course getting a fire weapon's a walk in the park. Farm geodes a couple weeks, make gil over a couple of days.

But... no one cares. Hardcore players aren't the only people playing XI (and if you personally aren't a hardcore player, then you're just a troll). Hardcore players have their relics and mythics made for them. Empyrean's kind of between the casual, and the hardcore.

But there's many more people playing this game than hardcore players, and that's what the elemental weapon trials are for. In a day or two you can just fly through all the ice trials, in a few days you could fly through a number of other trials, such as wind trials.

That's all fine and dandy, but if you need a fire weapon, you're SOL. You can't get that fire weapon that's the baseline weapon for being semi-competitive in events. You're stuck with what you can afford off the AH (which is probably not much, since you probably can't afford geodes anyway), or, God forbid, the dom notes weapons. You basically play a much crappier version of your job. Hence the "bad kill speed" you're talking about; you really think the people after fire weapons typically have the gil to GET good kill speed? How about the knowledge necessary for creating good gear sets for ws, ja's and the like?

I personally was able to make enough gil fairly easily to be able to camp the AH and buy them; not only is this obviously not optimal (for people more casual than myself making the millions I made would take a very long time), but also my server had relatively cheap fire geodes (often between 65k-70k apiece).

As people have made the point over and over again, it's not like making flame geodes is going to affect YOU negatively in any way. If anything it would make more people have semi-decently geared jobs for events; which would affect you positively because then you can complete those events more easily.

The worst thing about every one of your posts is the incredibly condescending tone you take; it's disgusting for myself and doubtless others to see you look down from your throne and laugh at the pitiful worms who work slowly to acquire what YOU got in your sleep.
