Revocation and replacement of item level system

[Rubeus]

Just quoting that, the rest of the drivel is par for the course it seems with you. Have you thought about focusing your attention on single player games that never advance forward in any degree or anything? It's as if you expect everything you ever worked for to remain relevant because you worked sooooo hard for it that it some how validates your entire argument. If you had talked about, idk, Ebody augments, or Legion +1 gear, or camping Niddy for years to get your Ridill back in the day, or anything that actually involved any meaningful amount of time or investment, I'd agree, say that's too bad, the game is moving forward, and leave it at that. But you're bringing up relic armor? Empy gear? Gtfo. No one has claimed anyone hasn't worked for what they have. But this is an MMO. Guess what you have to do in an MMO to remain relevant as time goes by?

What's even more asinine is most of the stuff you mentioned in that very post is still relevant! Cool, you got your AF, relic, and Empy, that's one less incredibly time devouring task of terribleness that you have to worry about.

Cancel like you said, one less person demanding handouts in the form of 0 gear progression at least.

I mentioned probably closer to 20 pieces of gear, and right around 330 pieces of gear for RME -alone-. BST would get 1-shotted and when that happens, your pet dies.

So while a lot of the RME is still relevant and it's steadily risen from +1 to +2 to reforged to +1, and I'm pretty genuinely fine with that, albeit they could've made it a lot less tedious, the vast majority of "butterfly gear" hasn't been touched. Which is what I said to begin with. For the record, I do know what its like to camp an HNM for years, as my first 75 back in the day was Bard and that's basically all you get invited to do as Bard (back then, Bards weren't invited for Missions or serious battlefields. FYI.)

I'm fine with gear progression. Gear progression does not mean slapping haste and defense on a bronze harness and asking me to be happy about it. I also said "unsubbing for a while" not "omg im uninstalling 4evr!!1!"

That's about all I saw in between the childish antics. It's cool, I'm sure if you keep up your QQing and attacking other posters, splashed in with your "you just don't understand my point of view!" and "I've seen no legitimate argument in favor of ilvl!", SE will change the ilvl system just for you.

Sorry, I forgot only you can attack other posters. As you have shown to do with Olor as well. Clearly the other people in this thread are just egregories of myself, so I'm sure you're right. I'm the only one affected by ilvl, so they'll change it just for me.

Do you always pick and choose which pieces of an argument to respond to and then act pompous or am I just your favorite? Last time I checked, I had the math to back up what I'd like to see changed and presented it in a cohesive way. Camate already said it isn't going to change, so at this point our options boil down to pedantic, coffeehouse radical conjecture, or, bandying enough support so that they DO change it. You know, like what happened with relic weapons, or any other number of features people have bandied support for. On a forum. For a game. Dedicated to those things.

I hate ilevel :\ it's part of what has ruined WoW and FFXIV for me. Too many elitists who go 'you have to have this gear to do this' when it's content that doesn't even need that high level gear to do it. It's derp.

Seriously, SE? now we can't even do the AA fights to get rem's tales 6-10?

It's bad enough the only way to get them is to grind endlessly or spend merits. Now we have to grind endlessly to get them and spend merits to do even harder fights?

CHANGE IT BACK! That is a COMPLETELY unnecessary adjustment!

Ark Angels aren't being changed at all. The randomization of Rem's Tales from non-AA fights (outside of DM) is being removed.

Epic comprehension fail.

"-only- drop," well that's somewhat relieving.

you are playing the wrong type of game/genre, if gear progression is something that makes you rage.

Yes i love my d.ring, yes I felt rare with it, do i mind that SE gives out KB pops like candy so everyone and their grandmother gets one, at first it singed a bit, but hey lets move on. Gear gets obsolete, move on and do the new content for fun while gearing up with it!!
