Hey, if they only boost 99, I'll be glad to take those heavy metal plates off your hands free of charge. Regardless, I agree. I think there needs to be some boosting considering that all these weapons are a time commitment and some are harder than others. Furthermore, as for the shields, I think there should be a block rate boost considering that block rate varies based on physical level.

Perhaps giving us scaling mechanisms that scale horizontally rather than vertically (as Trial of the Magians does) at each level. That way, everyone would get the chance to do some work for a damage and stat upgrade. I suppose when content levels become integrated onto gear, this could be balanced further by making the the equip level 99 after completing scaling with an equip level 90 weapon.
