I see the biggest Issue in not enought ppl doing WoE for the Weapons because Abyssea Versions are better and more appealing and not hard to make. SE should just like...do the Following!
By looking at the Census we saw that the WoE Weapons are Empyrean too!
As WoE Weapons have no Aftermath~ Why not just make next Trail as a Job Specifiaction!
They wont Deal as mutch DMG but every job would get a Weapon with the WS and Job Specific Bonuses!
It would encourage me to do WoE no matter of any flaws the Event has! (If I didn't do it already XD)
The main Problem is ppl dont know if WoE is worth putting Effort in. With Job Specific Bonuses and JSE Paths, the Weapons would look a lot more appealing to be honest!
