Alexander Loot is amazing!

All this system did was trade one set of problems with a new set of problems. Two months to get a chest piece for a second job? People find this acceptable?

I really don't find this system any better than the previous system. All they had to do was adopt the primal EX system and it would have resolved all of the loot system issues.

For all we know, that's what Alex Savage will do. They've said it won't be the same as Alex Normal anyways.

It would be nice if they dropped the loot lockout when savage mode hits rather than months down the line but somehow I don't see them doing that.

Correct me if im wrong but with weekly Ct runs wouldn't have taken longer to fully gear your second job.

Well... this seems to essentially be a middle ground between Coil and CT (which many of us have been asking for), both of which have weekly lockout systems. Doesn't make sense to remove it while the gear is current.

I actually wish for smn and BLM to be separate gear wise like what they did with mnk/nin. I also wish that if they are gonna give casters skirts they would at least have the sense to give them shirts instead of robes. Makes no sense to put a skirt under a robe because you won't ever see the skirt. I like to see the gear I'm wearing not cover it up with a darn robe.

I personally do not like the fact bards and machinists are forced to share the same armour too, not from a stats point but from a visual appearance angle. I haven't seen much in the way of bard armour that suits a gunslinger aka machinist as of yet. The alexander gear set might be better suited to machinist but it looks pretty ugly in my opinion in general no matter if bard or gunslinger. I also still think machinists should of been given dual guns aka gun 'set' loot/gear pieces like how monks and ninjas get such as opposed to single gun. It looks odd to me and makes it less fun or interesting.

On the topic of physical appearance of gear, my biggest gripe is that they ALWAYS make healer and caster gear look exactly the same save the color. Why can't healers and casters get different looking sets?

I agree with this, but more on the Ninja side. Why do we always get the obvious recolour of sets (BRD/MCN colours just look so much nicer)? D:

I agree. I to wonder why casters and healers basically get the same gear but different colors. It's like they put to much effort in the dow gear and to little effort in the dom gear.
