I feel like Delve just made 90% of the Adoulin content irrelevant

In all honesty with all of the balance preaching that went on with Tanaka I would doubt that these level of weapons were ever his idea, I think the tier progression was Matsui's idea, and the only way he figured he could make it stand out is with these insane leaps, and he would be right, except we as a player base simply skip things like that every time because SE makes it too many hoops and to much time to bother going through the other content first.

I think the whole issue was a mistake, dating back to the level cap raise from 75+ or more honestly I think as new content was released, the gear from the old content should have been level adjusted so people would be able to choose what gear sets they wanted to use. What we have now is a system like WoW where every expansion pretty much makes the one before it useless. There is absolutely no reason to go to sky after this newest version update... None.

I liked it better in the old Zilart, CoP, WoTG, and ToAU days, when everything was kept relevant, this game is trying to play catch up to WoW and there's no comparison, this one used to be much better, not so anymore, SE just doesn't get it, they've lost so many players over the years from their constant meddling with jobs, and equipment, and everything else, why fix what isn't broken? They try to please a few who cry really loud, and end up having to shut down a server.

I say raise the level of all the old content and gear, then let people choose what content they want to do for what gear. This game has really gone downhill over the years.

Are you seriously stating this as a fact? I'll take it with a grain of salt and assume its just your opinion however I highly disagree with you on this.

Why?

Here is what I own:
Dalmatica+1

Additional Augments
Fast Cast +6
Magic Accuracy +6
Occasionally Quicken Spellcasting 3%

Blood Cuisses

Fast Cast +4
Magic Evasion +4
Evasion +7

Clearly who in the right mind would assume walk speed on pants is worthless?

And people do hunt for Genbu shield and other pieces of the Crimson, Aquarian set as well as other things. If Tamaxchi is a club with Cure potency high enough not to make augments on the shield, obviously a Mage would still want it for the -10 PDT it offers. And what Mage wouldn't welcome the +10 evasion? +10 earth resistance?

Also you cannot expect "Everything" in one area to be useful. That's the point of going out and hunting for various pieces across every content to build your characters uniqueness.
