That has got to be one of the poorest dev responses that I have ever seen written. Basically says sorry you feel that your time has been wasted, and we have no plan in place but are panicking trying to come up with one. Please stay tuned.

What's wrong with that it's a mmo or should they just never make any new content ever because it might make you feel you wasted your time I got a message for you if you are playing a mmo or any kind of game you are wasting your time.

all this crying is insane so all new players to the game should have to grind for over 9 months just to be able to play the new content that by then will be old content and forever trying to catch up yeah cool guys you keep on. Maybe you should be happy that the new weapons allow new players to join the game work to get to 99 max out their skills then start earning bayld then move onto getting delve.
Other than spend months grinding in abyssea with next to no help because everyone is doing the new fun content get bored and quit.

No you guys are so right the best thing to do is to force all new players to grind through E/M/R and then hope they stick around to do content that only offers worse gear than they just spent the last 9 month getting.
Yes let's never get better only worse gear in new updates. Yes lets keep the new players out of the loop give them no way to ever catch up because we are all so selfish that everyone should have to go through the same trash you went through yep delve should only be for old players who have E/M/R weapons never should it get any better never should a new player be able to get a weapon through doing reives to earn some bayld to then do more new content with everyone else no they should stay months behind forever and a day.

PATHETIC!!!!!

After every expansion the previous events have been simplified, by lowering the difficulty or by lv cap remotion.
Every guy who starts an old MMO knows that he will have to catch up to older players, otherwise he shouldn't even start if doesn't have that kind of mindset.
And again none is asking to stop the implementation of new stuff. If you read some of the posts you would know it by now. But probably you are here just to troll and spit nonsense post after post, right?

So they should make E/M/R easier to obtain? Yeah lol you guys would scream even louder if that happened.

Why if the old E/M/R are good enough to get the new weapons are you so hurt by the new stuff? If you are not asking for improvements to R/M/E why does this thread exist?

I fail to see this thread as anything except my gear aint top tier anymore and it took me months to obtain why is this?

They are as good as they ever were why demand improvements when the new weapons are even better and obtainable?

[Dankstar]

this was probably mentioned before but solution seems simple to me...add more base damage raise Weapon skill damage and maybe add higher accuracy like it was done previously?

If they made regular weapons that ridiculous then why not make REMs even more ridiculous?... like a Rag with 315 dmg and such >.>

I am ok with this, but make Apoc with like 353 damage, OAT 2-8 hits, Relic Proc 50% and WS increase 250%. Then I will be happy.

XD you have resorted to terrorist negotiations

As someone who spent a significant amount of their early FFXI on RDM, a once-godly job that is now pretty useless, I'm no stranger to the fact that this is an MMO and things will change. That being said, this idea makes me nervous about the future of FFXI in a way that the server merges and level cap increases never came near.

Making R/E/Ms obsolete? I can't say I approve, but there are ways to make it happen that won't outrage current R/E/M holders. Even if it's just trading a 99 relic to an NPC for a 50% head start on whatever the new top-tier weapon will be, it's some sort of consolation beyond the completely dismissive attitude we're seeing right now.

This needs to be fixed, fast, or frustrated players will quit en masse without giving two scheisses for whatever grand vision Matsui and his team think they have. I'll be one of them.

[Draylo]

Must be a joke..? There are plenty of fixes to keep these weapons relevant, opening their WS is not one of them.
