New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[Vold]

I am reading through here wondering to myself as I take a trip to the "official" forums outside BG and FFXIAH, where the heck are the DEVS? Why are they not commenting on these, the concerns of the player base? I have been playing this game 9+ years like many and I am about at my limit with SE.

So we are only a few hundred shy of 20,000 views, and this thread has yet to recieve offical attention. Why? Because SE has no plans to fix this, and they don't care.

You know, after the entire empyrean weapon debacle that lasted month after month, I had hoped most, if not all of you would have learned your lessons on this subject. If you truly believe, at least as far as the good relic/myth/emp weapons go, that your insanely large investment of gil is going to be shit on, well... I guess I'll say this AGAIN. Also I will note that hex gear imho was meant to be plentiful. I ain't counting it.

If these weapons were not better than what you have then you would not waste your time farming them. Only to have RME improved later and for you to waste more time upgrading them. It's all a scheme to get you to stay logging in. If SE were to do what some people suggest, which is slap me across my face after all the headaches I had to endure earning that gil, namely dealing with idiot seller competition, I would be done with this game and damn sure no chance of wasting my time in 14.

You do not bitch slap that specific part of your playerbase that keeps the game going. At this point in FFXI's lifespan, that is a majority of the FFXI subscribers for damn sure. I refuse to accept SE would be so careless, or that they would want it to happen. They make dumb decisions like everyone does, but this here would be one for the record books.
