I don't think we need to argue about gear progression anymore, this sentence is the core difference between us. Gears in FFXI have sentimental value to me, that's why I'm paying $12 a month to play the game. Remove that sentimental value then I have 0 interest to play anymore or else it'd be a waste of money. There's tons of free MMO out if I just want another MMORPG with no sentimental value, but I will pick old FFXI over any of other MMORPG(FFXI isn't the only MMORPG I've played, I played other titles too). I've played many MMORPG, FFXI is the only game I have emotional attachment on gears, every other MMO I got bored after 1 month including XIV due to lack of sentimental value, lol.
