95 And Below RME Weapons

[Kihrre]

I don't know if this has been said, but since it is apparent that 75-95 R/M/E are going to be basically old content, and the newer weapons are relatively "easy" to get, they might want to lower the trial redundancy on said weapons. If they aren't top tier unless you grind it for an upwards of 4-6 months for the majority of players, and remember this is just to be able to contribute to combat these days. That's insane and poor game design. I see no reason why the trials below the 99 have to be so tedious anymore.

That would be one major way of fixing the problem. Delve weapons might be even outclassed in another update in the near future, making this R/M/E discussion flare up with even more whining. Might as well make the trials easier at this point for everyone since it's obvious they won't be as relevant anymore. This would really remove the bottleneck for the shield/harp trials as well, as ever since the cruor conversion nerf, people have just been selling these pops for money, making it a pain just to even attempt this consistently.

Just my two cents.

The R/M/E topic will probably never end, because SE is forced to make those weapons relevant. Note that I say 'forced' because I believe it was due to the players' feedback to to point where SE had to rethink R/E/M post-expansion, and rightfully so because of the amount of effort players had made to obtain these weapons. The same thing happened when Abyssea was released with Empys; the R/M owners had said their piece.

SE was clear about the path they want to follow with Adoulin content, and with the reveal of 'content levels', this may open up the possibility of even more powerful gear in the future. Right now Delve weapons are top tier, but what about if the in future SE decides to release new weapons? Can they simply release them with a higher content level, or will they again be forced to think about R/M/E/[D] owners and make the tough decision to either lower their new content to match (thus making it another 'path'), or to upgrade old content to match the new content?

Nah, SE already said they're going to make R/E/M relevant again in an interview before delve weapon release. Just that they didn't figure out how and they underestimate the impact of it. I don't think they were planning to boost base dmg until players rant.
