Legion, current playerbase and endgame content

[Demon6324236]

Funny how we went from talking about how gear from Legion is good or useful, to me judging others & being hypocritical because of my general outlook on Afterglow in response to what Arcon said... Suppose I should have just said Afterglow is meaningless to me in every way and would not change my outlook at what I perceive as someones ignorance toward gear.

He plays MNK, and not interested in playing other jobs, thus it's not illogical that X event is worthless for him to do. Back then when I tried to make a NNI static, I couldn't convince a BRD to come SCH for us too, because all the NNI gear he isn't interested even though his other jobs can use it.

I don't see there's a big problem of playing and gearing for 1 job, and not doing event or doesn't care about event for gears his job can't use. Some ppl likes to grind all the situational gears for one single favorite job that only shines in very, very VERY rare situations. Some ppl would rather skip all those situational gears for more inv and resources for more jobs for broader and wider access for different events. Different ppl different strokes, just because you would rather spend more resource on different jobs, doesn't mean everyone would enjoy it, nor make you "smarter".

Your right, not everyone is interested in gear for every job. Going back to what he originally said that caused me to post the gear that stands out when I look through Legions rewards, was this.

Reward wise, legion is actually pretty balanced IMO. The fact that Gallu/Rex on wave 3 has 100% drop slot pretty much offers good reward for more effort.

Which ? And for what job ? The entire thing looked like "a pile of worthless crap or sidegrades in certain situation that never happen" kind of gear, when they released it. Meteor and arise serve no purpose in the game and if you ever want some they cost 5 M at bazaars (2 dynamis run farming if you suck).

The only reason I don't do it is because the drops are crap. The event seems to be an excuse to make arise/meteor drop or skilling up crafts. If SE wants people to have interest they need to give great stuff for every job first, which you don't seem to emphasize in your post. Aside from that I entirely agree with the other parts. However I fear that the incoming embrava and PD nerf is going to end up in a trivialisation of the event such has displacers for voidwatch.

Another threat is going to be the new salvage gear probably (both because of quality and player friendly environement).

Let's be honest ?

To me this post looks to imply he is judging all gear, not simply MNKs actually. The underlined statement is what leads me to think that is what he was saying. Either way I don't care much anymore.

Mdk is which means I'm getting the afterglow boohoo. You're slow.

Mdk is using VS, your getting the afterglow from VS, not Spharai, thus making the afterglow on Spharai unused & pointless at that time, unless your WSing with Final Heaven, its not doing anything, unless I misunderstood how Afterglow works.



My spacebar broke a few days ago & I have been wasting my time posting on here to reply in a pointless argument to explain what I think of afterglow, you all can continue with your talking about Legion. I agree it should be easier to pull a group together, as otherwise I will probably never do the content, past that I don't care much, Ill miss out on some of the best gear for my RDM unless they make it available otherwise, which will hurt me, but nothing I can really do at this point. I think Legion was designed poorly anyways due to the reliance of PD & Embrava, however at the same time I understand why it was made in that way, its because the playerbase would use them anyways and make it easy. Thats about all I have to say on the topic really.
