I'm pretty happy with the direction that they went. As someone that had RUN already 99 when this was launched it would have been a shame to do this quest and then just immediately shelf the AF armor if I would even do the quest at all. Plus it wouldn't make sense lore-wise for there to be level 50~60 battlefields in Adoulin for the AF armor given that all the monsters there are above level 99. They gave us something that is relevant to the majority of players if you're in the minority that likes to take your time with jobs I /salute you but unfortunately that play style comes at a pretty high price these days given that all gear 1~75 is pretty much non-existent on the AH.
