Actually, I'd forgotten about that point. I know when I grind a new class, I tend to skip the gear under r20 as I know I'll outlevel it quickly. Instead I'll equip a combination of my main class's gear and other random pieces, all over r20. I'm sure I'm not alone on this either.

While it's great we can equip things before the optimal rank, it is also taking away the usefulness of lower levelled gear. Not to mention removes it all sense of achievement and satisfaction one might get from reaching a new rank and being able to equip a new piece of gear. But I think this system is on SE's list for changes or overhaul.

well you all seem to forget SE is going to add Rank restrictions for gear. No more R1 characters wearing R20 and R40 gear.

My point also was not about crafters needing high end armors to craft but that we need rare armors to be bound to use when equiped so more can be made and not that we sell that piece of armor back forever in an endless cycle.

Even in real life, would your clothes on ebay and then the person buying sells them back after a while and then it gets sold again over and over.... it makes little sense. Bound to you items will make for a much more fluid economy.

amen Edyn they need lock the gear or lower the durablety a great deal more if you are not at the right rank

On Istory the Economy is awful if you are low level.

I just started a new game and am finding it very hard to get gear, or gil.

Doesn't seem to be any choice other than to level crafts and make the stuff myself.

On a side note, the server is a ghost town, don't start again here.

These days I think one of the best ways to make money is to become a gatherer and sell items typically devoured en mass by crafters. Crystals, cotton boll, flax, sheep skin, various ores or nuggets and the like.

Also, cool points for the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas quote.

You can make 2m a day with a rank 1 alchemy synth. No reason to be poor at any time. Also we don't know how class restriction will work. Im fine with bound like rare/ex on xi
