So I farmed those 5/5 and auged those 5/5. And threw away the two 5/5 aug sets that cost me like 100k bayld lol. I farmed some skirmish armors too but only for certain slots. And now they announce further bayld armor sets, which will probably look the same as the other sets, sets which I will /toss again, and farm the new ones lol. And all this armor-set /tossing in a few months time frame. Tbh I wouldnt get the new skirmish or new bayld armors anyway if theres lvl99 artifact armor on the horizon. But built-in obsolescence is a problem especially if you quite liked the old game system of having a 'favourite armor build' which you had got used to and liked, to have to toss that every four weeks just to stay uptodate feels sort of wrong. Once a year to upgrade armor sets was fine imo.
I've been tossing AK/DL gears in XIV for past 1 month too, shit just takes inventory and 0 sense of accomplishment after getting them because they're piss easy to get and doesn't last long. Whoever enjoy tossing gears weeks after you got previous gear should play XIV, for real.

And leave XI the way it was before SoA, ty
