So now it takes what about triple the amount of time, and about ten times the amount of headache to get this end game gear that is needed to enter the end game scene gate.
Then SE wants us to play multiple jobs which is fine, but how are we to gear these multiple jobs? Having to do AK for my main Iam already getting bored out of my mind, then I have to run another 50 hours of AK to gear a single one of my alt classes geared so it can switch roles if needed to help out the raid?
Yes I know blah blah blah there is crafted gear, I for one do not like crafting in this game, and there is no amount of gil incoming running anything end game wise to afford such gear let alone talk any of my FC members into doing the same to get ready.
If they added another dungeon or two that had *chances* of either dropping more tomes or some straight Darklight drops, that would help.

To be fair, the Darklight gear is usually shared between at least two classes. It's not as if you're going to have to grind it for every single class.

Pace yourself. Self moderation is the best advice anyone can give if the grind is becoming too much to handle. In doing so, you actually prove that you're a god among your mouth-breathing peers. Some mythical entity that speaks of blasphemous ideas like "self control", as though it were humanly possible to achieve that.
Things might change later, but we don't know how or when. Hence, my first statement. -
09-14-2013, 08:02 AMRowanLauronHaha....so not only do you have to have mats that cost gil, farming, and a lot of tomes, but have to meld them multiple times to make them equivalent or better than straight up bought Darklight?Quote:

09-14-2013, 08:23 AMWelsper59Not to give away too many crafting secrets, but the harder something is to get, the more valuable it usually is. Now... just think how much people would pay to avoid needing to grind tomes to progress. The difference of stats is minimal for most of them, especially with materia slots in the crafted gear. And that's just looking at normal versions of the crafted... HQ makes it significantly better (thus significantly more valuable). With so many people having multiple jobs to level, you can bet that people would be willing to buy them.Quote:

Funny how people try to justify the grind. The grind is crap, you grind tomes to get a Pre-determined item
There's no excitement in this game, just keep doing the same thing over and over and getting the same amount of tomes to get an item you already know the stats on. (which are bland)
It's laughable.
