Dem RMEs....

My opinion on R/M/E weapons.

- Those who originally built these weapons were much more likely to get into delve runs when Seekers was released, meaning they had a head start, specially if they were DD.

- Therefore, the good players who play a lot, they either got into linkshells who could clear bosses, or they leveled a job like GEO to get those clears. (I geared Corsair and recently got Tojil and Muyingwa clear, one with my new linkshell, the other with a pick up group that I was the leader of)

- After getting sufficient experience, you can see why those players who want to fight delve bosses, only want DD with delve boss weapons, they are NOT walkovers by any means unless the linkshell is super efficient in every area.

- Therefore, nobody needs a R/M/E to get Delve clears, however they DO need to have done regular delve farms for some of the equipment (but not necessarily all to rank 15) and upgraded them for better performance. Getting Delve clears encourages players to level support jobs so they are not so reliant on equipment. (I see some Corsairs with poor equipment getting clears, whereas I personally wanted to gear it properly)

- Skirmish, bayld, voidwatch, salvage, NNI (etc.) equipment helps the casual player to perform better in Delve. Those players should stop sucking and get some of this equipment before complaining, specially if they want to DD.

- Getting RME to 99 is such an achievement that they should be better than Delve Weapons, but not completely surpassing them. Therefore those DD who want to get the absolute max will work on these, however, Delve/Delve Boss Weapons will still be strong enough to do Delve farm/bosses.

- Those players who quit due to outdated RME could come back and jump straight into Delve Content and be powerful enough to grind out the new equipment.

- Making RME relevant again helps the economy all around, more players doing dynamis/aht urhgan content/abyssea etc.

- If RME are in anyway inferior to Delve Weapons (or the weapons you can just buy off AH) no one will bother with them unless its shield/instrument.
