I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of using Delve to upgrade my RME. Leave Delve and SoA in general to the new weapons.

I simply want my base damage increased, period. I'm tired of reworking on my finished weapons that seem to never be really finished. Alternatively I would be willing to do more magian trials but I'm not sure it's possible with an afterglow trial around. It might be blocking the way for additional trials due to limits in the system.

I don't really care how they go about it if they decide not to waste my 8 years of playtime, as long as they don't shove delve and SoA down my throat to troll me. If I do delve it's because I want to, not because I have to. That's my rule and I'm sticking to it. The moment I feel like I NEED to do something rather than WANT to do something is the day I realize it's time to hang the boots up. I finished one relic so far and will eventually have multiple 99 RME.. multiple 99 REs. It's not my problem they want to ruin things with new super weapons.

So, they can either make it easy for me to get equal stats on my already finished weapon, because I said so because it's not my problem they decided to release new weapons, or they can say suck it and we'll see what the result of that response will be. I'm sorry if that sounds alot like self entitlement, because that's exactly what it is, but it's the truth. I did the work for my ultimate weapons and one shield so far, and one of those are lv99 thus far. I damn well fully expect that work to stand the test of time, for as long as the game is online, and you really cannot understand that point of view until YOU have done the work for yourself to obtain a relic or mythic or low manned your emp without the aid of an entire LS to spam kill abyssea NMs. And everyone who earns themselves one or more of those new shiny weapons that didn't earn RMEs is going to expect the same thing in the future. Knowing what it takes to obtain this stuff because you read about it and going through the experience yourself is two different things.


I don't hate the new weapons. I might even get one or two myself. But I'll be damned if my RMEs sit in my inventory, to never be used again. I strongly demand compensation. Whether it be 200 million gil returned to me via a NPC or a simple and more likely because it's far more realistic NPC trade in for a new top tiered SoA weapon of the same type that will gain the full benefits of the weapon being traded in, or any other idea of equal value, I'll be satisfied. I'll always have the memories, and I'll have compensation. I can live with having compensation. Without compensation, don't count on me paying a monthly fee to the game in the future. Not ruling it out, just saying, don't bet on it because I'm not even sure what I will do. I can't say that I will leave or that I won't leave. All I can say for certain is, with compensation I have no real reason to have hard feelings. The debt will be paid in full as far as I care. shrug. Give me gil, adjust the base damage on existing RME, or give me a trade in worthy of my efforts. Pick one, doesn't really matter to me. But making me jump through hoops, again, to improve my RMEs, again, isn't really an acceptable solution for me. If I want to upgrade my weapons often I'll go play another MMORPG where the idea of quested ultimate weapons are no where in sight.
