Now I quit FFXI two years ago and am just now getting back into it, and when I saw a Hauberk that was usable by DRGs as well as having Haste on it I freaked and thought it a godsend.

As I've been going around on the forums I noticed many people associating noobs with Perle.

As I'm not quite familiar with much of the new armor, could someone enlighten me as to what bad about Perle? I genuinely do not know and would appreciate if someone would explain.

Thanks.
Because people were (before the stoppage) trying to reestablish the power structure the level cap increase was designed to destroy, and this is one way they tried to do it.

Full (any of the three Cruor-based initial L78 sets) is actually a nice bridge between mid-level L75 gear and the gear in the 80's. Problem is, you've got a lot of people who literally want to see God Gear Incarnate Or GTFO. (Just like when the cap was 75.)

Just another case of that they believe it's their world and everyone (including Square-Enix and thousands/millions of dying Japanese) need to bow to them.
