i100 and i110 gear no longer special

I have not posted since closed beta. Yeah I am that person the days where titan hm was actually hard! When they called zenith weapons plus 1! When echo didn't exist! When mor dhona was nothing but a few dents and a dirt road! Now back on topic pvp gear yeah I am long time pvper and first thing some think is "another pvp rager come to hop the wagon." But this is more for the people that did not do pvp before this or did not fully complete the ranks. Think the big thing before 3.0 was the zodiac or w.e level it was on at the time. It had multiple bars for people to jump to get the final item the finish line all the time work everything. What they did was 1 patch atma would be more easy or something to that degree. There are still hurdles you need to jump to get this done the atma the books then the alexander then light so on forth. They did not rip that all out saying, alright guys once you collect 12 atma BAM you got zodiac its done!

>>>>> No doing books no gathering alexander no getting light no spending money on materia or other crafting mats its done zodiac in your hands the finished product. Zodiac was the pve as the gear for pvp was to us.

NOW NOW NOW tell me if you read most of these post that most the pvper do not mind a nerf. This was no normal MMO nerf we all come to expect being repeat players they tore down everything you had to do. (((((((And for the people saying you still have to get the wolf marks, wolf marks are nothing they have never been an issue to get from the start)))))). The ranks were EVERYTHING the ONLY thing keeping anyone from that gear. I would not care if they lowered it if say 30 cause 20 is where it gets somewhat hard. But for the people that did do mad time in pvp for that gear and when they say I played MONTHS they mean months. Coil that is for most a 2 to 3 times a week thing few hours of practice.

I did a full 1 month nothing but frontline to get near 40 not mixed in with other things in game NO I mean only pvp that is it. I maxed my weekly tomes and more off it I had to do it so much. I looked from the view of non pve people we get nerfed to so on. It is not that we got nerfed its HOW MUCH it got nerfed. It went from months of work to a day of work. They did not do that with coil they added 5% 5% 5% 5%. With pvp they just took it off. And yeah we have some new gear but look at this, we had an exclusive armor for each class besides (sch and summoner) because they are a shared class. How many armors is that? 8 armors...9 when the ninja came out. How many did they give the PVP players this time (((((((((4)))))))))).

The tanks all share the dragoons is the same but colors, same with bard/gunner healers casters and monk/ninja. I do not even count the casters cause they just swapped colors and lets face it anyone that knows even the basics of programming knows its the cheapest method to use on a game armor to change it. Now coil people you got (((((((3 tiers of gear))))) we pvp people have had this same gear since patch 2.1 and the only change was some colors and a few add ons to the armors we already had. I do not know about the rest of the pvp crowd but I been waiting almost ((((((2 years)))))) for a new set of pvp gear to come out, and all this stuff that happen seems like a real disrespect to the pvp community. This is why pvpers are mad this is why we feel like they stomped on this community.

I love this game I feel despite a few things over the 2 years I played I did not like but I could understand why they might have done those said things. But I look at this lack of content the copied gear the bar lifting on the gear rank not even a change for the grand companies and I got to say for once in the entire time I played I am disappointed in squares handling of this. I hope they read these posts and take into consideration the crowd that has also been doing pvp for so long while finding new ways to bring new crowds in. But I do not see this as a well thought out idea at all.

Ugh now my animal's gear isn't special anymore :( . THANKS SE.

I glamour my PVP sets a lot. I finally got to change GC and keep them. So that's a positive....

I guess we gotta wait until the new rank 50-55 gear comes out to see if there is anything worth getting, either in glamour or in ilvl... At least the rank 55 weapon will glow maybe. But at least the new map is kinda fun, a mix between slaughter and secure.

I don't think the issue is so much with you guys losing your old glamours. But SE not delivering on the new sets.

If the new armor was actually desirable instead of what it is now, you would want it. How about say a good looking set for lvl 60 players starting at rank 20, with a more powerful set at 30, and 45. This way the old PVPers gain an advantage they deserve. Their hard work nets them new gear and a jumpstart on their pvp. While new players can still get their old sets, but with the newer sets being that much more enticing they can continue to do PVP. Also by adding in other bonuses such as truely unique mounts, cosmetic options (warpaint, maybe a hairstyle or two).

BENEFITS:

-shorter que times
-simple to impliment. It would require new armor sets meshed (We're aware this takes time) but these armors must stand out. Perhaps adding effects like the augmented items from 2.4 would help.
-Your PVPers would be much happier.

Don't worry, a lot of people will never put a foot in a PvP map. Since they still need a few dozens of games to get a full set, most of them won't even do that.

... And, of course, the ugliness of some set will still make some players refrain from buying anything.
Yeah, being a goose lord doesn't fit everyone.
