Turn in the items and just get more hardened sap and lime sulphur that way.

Not 100% right
They were also good to upgrade the gears on alts while you needed the tomes for the main.

Only because at the start the dungeons gave mats it was mats or gears. There was no complain anymore after the devs changed it to mats and gear

In ye old days amdapor gear & wanderers palace gear were used to clear ifrit hm.
Remember the
SAVE CASTER LB3 FOR NAILS OMGGGG
Cuz dps was so low back then

But now? Its only for gc turn ins/ glamour cuz as soon as u hit 50 u get bombsrded with all this super easy to get i100+ gear lol

Right? Dirty bird leather, gross. >:|

There's really no need to remove the gear from the game. It serves a purpose in the form of glamour, or for people to kit out their retainers with some reasonably decent gear that they don't need themselves. You can also turn it in for seals at your Grand Company!

If they change the drops to crafting mats then I can personally guarantee you that you will never see a run for these dungeons again.

If you don't want the gear, trade it in to your Grand Company and use the seals you get to buy whatever Crafting item you want. This leaves the the gear to still be available for folks who want to obtain it for Glamour purposes.

The system is fine as it is. Want the gear? It's there to have. Crafting drops? They're there, too. Get gear you don't want? trade it in for seals, and use the seals to buy crafting drops. Pretty much everybody wins.

That gear is a useful stepping stone during desynth leveling. I certainly appreciated it when leveling LTW. I didn't run the dungeons just for the gear for desynth, but when I ran roulettes, having drops that gave me desynth experience was more rewarding to me than just getting materials would have been. Even now that I'm way past that point and don't get desynth exp, the ilvl 70+ dungeon drops can still give BC3s, which are still somewhat valuable. Dungeon drops from the level 51-59 dungeons can NOT desynth into BC3s (only BC2s), meaning, that darklight stuff is often more useful for desynthing than stuff 79 ilvls higher from much later dungeons.

tl;dr: There is no reason to remove content, and that content still serves a purpose.
