So why do you need the best gear then if you're not even wanting to do the content that would require it? Dailies sure as hell won't need it and any content below coil can be done in ak or darklight, so why do you feel you HAVE TO HAVE the best gear in the game?

I am very happy about this. Variety and not just tiers!

Makes sense that the bis gear would drop from the hardest raid. This is a good change, because running an ilvl 55 dungeon a bunch of times for level 90 myth gear which will be even easier to get 2.1 doesn't seem right. Best gear should come from the hardest raid. I too passed allagan to for someones alt job but I guess I would need it now.

What if the battles are so difficult that it takes most people longer than 3 weeks to defeat it? You would also need to be lucky and have the weapon you want actually drop and then win the roll for it. Not sure if people have forgotten but back in 1.0, the *hard* mode battles for Ifrit and Garuda were more difficult than they are now; in fact when the servers shut down, there were many people who had never defeated hard-mode Garuda yet. The %age of people who actually defeated Extreme mode Ifrit in 1.0 was much lower than that.

I think there's still quite a bit of the population who still haven't defeated *hard* mode Titan legitimately (not bought/carried) in 2.0 as well. I think people are really jumping the gun when they assume that they will simply be able to win/grind *extreme* mode primals and farm weapons there right away.

One idea I would propose to make everyone happy is that extreme-mode primals also drop a "totem" of some sort when you win. With x number of totems (5, 10, whatever.., you would able to purchase an upgrade for your relic+1 weapon to turn it into an IL95 "relic+2". This would also provide another IL95 weapon upgrade path besides Coil Turn 5 and give the game some variety in that regard.

Sorry guys. I know people are pissed but the majority of people here have played multiple MMO's in the past.

This kind of stuff happens all the time.

Gear gets changed. Nerfed. Buffed. New gear comes out and makes old gear obsolete. This has happened in every online game I can remember playing in the last 10 years. No one here should be shocked. No one should be pissed that you wasted tombstones on AF2 because it was bound to become obsolete at some point. (And it still isn't obsolete. Its just not the absolute BIS. You'll still be able to rock all available content.)

Besides, not having BIS anymore gives some hardcore peeps something to do now. Isn't that what people have been bitching about? Not having anything to do?

Q57: You can obtain weapons for the hard mode primal battles, but what kind of rewards will there be for the extreme-modes?

A57: When you clear extreme-modes for Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan, you'll be able to obtain an item level 90 weapon as a reward. We've prepared weapons for each job.

I'd be fine if they just removed allagan weapons and added a drop from Twintania that improved your relic. Though that'd be a waste of the allagan model.

Story gear > random drops from a box
I don't mind difficulty. I mind the loot not having any real background. Especially the weapon.
