If mindless zerging for hours and hours is your thing then go on.

Ever play Diablo 1, 2, or 3 amigo?

People say it's extremely rare to get good stats yet I keep seeing good stats on a lot of the screenshots they've posted sans the apparent photoshopped one... and this coming from Normal mode?

I went to diadem for just under an hour and saw 7-8 pieces of 210 gear drop, some had crappy bonus stats but most didn't. I love the creators of this game, and I do enjoy playing it. But the devs have no idea what they are doing when it comes to endgame.

Diadem is end-game? First I've heard of that. I thought it was an accessible level 60 spammable, farmable, open world grind-fest supporting combat and gathering - or did I miss something?

SE is doing bad if they let diadem pink gear with good rolls can be better than gordian or eso.

I am not disagree with letting non-raiders get coat and twines from Void Ark or huntings. They will get the same gear as a Raider but 3 months after. I am disappointed when 2 months of effort inside Alex savage to clear it, is not rewarded when in an hour or a few, spamming 3-4 buttons you could get better gear.

How can you promote Alex Savage clears if you are gifting gears without effort?

Diadem remember me "timeless island" in WoW. Alters and absent players could join to the game, obtaining a lower tier of items, let them to raid LFR. Then, they have the choice to keep that gear or try to get a better tier or the best tier.

what do you get in FFXIV? Same items as raiders or also betters. You didn't kill Living liquid, you didn't kill "manipulator". Just you facerolled NM and Star monsters.

I want to know. What is the point to raid 3.2 if in 3.3 we would know Diadem v2 could have the same gear or better? Take 3 months break, back to 3.3 and LF diadem "i want free gear".

Why would anyone complain over something that is accessible and solo friendly? Do people just do it for the sake of just creating a thread that is gonna end up in arguments?...it's Just beyond me...

Lately this forum is full of complaints over Petty stuff...

Diadem gear can be great and can be bad. What if is better than savage? Who cares? (Waiting for the deluded elitist wannabes to come in and tell me that they put soooo much efford to get it and blah blah blah) move on and be happy and enjoy the game

I just wish there were goal with the hunts, or they were bosses that you had to at least fight your way to. The whole stand in one spot and farm is just boring and gets tiresome quick.

I'm sorry, how does any of that invalidate your achievement of clearing A4S? Your post comes across as someone who is basically upset that non-raiders and less capable players will get similar gear to yours by other means. Isn't that something that's essentially a feature of vertical progression?

But aside from that, why is this even still a discussion to be had, this has happened every other patch since 2.1.

I don't know if it's your intention (I doubt that it is), but complaining about this now just comes across as being a bit elitist about high end gear and a bit condescending towards non-raiders.

It is random tho. I saw a blm 210 bracelet with identical stats to eso 200 bracelet. And also saw a whm head, and only stat was crit hit... no mind no nothing, just crit hit. I have seen good pieces tho. .. but most drops are 150 or 180, unless u get a NM and usually get at least 1 210 pc

Eh, even the twines coming from Void Ark and Hunts is kinda shitty. No need to deal with annoying Livid Liquid, just wait a few months and you can get it with less time invested and less effort. I could've just unsubbed and come back to easier to obtain twines instead of banging my head against the wall with my whole static on A3 for quite a while. There is no incentive to do Savage now, not even for bragging rights as some say as the sole reason people do Savage (hint: it's not the main reason, else we would've seen more interest in Coil Savage). Now that we are onto AS4, I see not much reason to do it if we can just wait for the relic, heh.

Isn't there an achievement + title, and a mount or minion that is exclusive to Savage Alex? Wouldn't those be the incentive you speak of?
