Please lock seasonal gear out of raids.

I join Crystal Tower raids all the time with swimsuits and get kicked out. Whats the point of even allowing this kind of gear into raids if people are just going to get the boot for inane reasons such as "Afk" or "Disconnected"?

I don't mind if people join in it, as long as they switch before we start fighting. But as one of the healers, if I have to baby-sit you because you chose to leave that stuff equiped, I just simply wont. As a result, people who have done that have been kissing the floor until other people get fed up enough to vote kick. I will raise once, and if you still don't go back to real gear, then that's it.

The point is to have fun with it outside of dungeons. And for vanity, when it comes.

I don't really see the point in dps or tanks wearing it, but I am a healer, and still do my job.

i put on dps gear as a tank once.


one of the healers got fed up and left. we were at acheron.

I had a group of people troll us by showing up for Ifrit Hard in the halloween gear. They promptly got slaughtered and everyone left.

It's such a hit to your stats, though. I mean yes CT is faceroll easy for the most part, but the run I did where a +1 relic WHM came in with a bathing suit, guess which summoner ended up raising that very same WHM more than once? You can't heal anyone if you're dead because your level 1 seasonal gear drops your VIT so much that you get one shotted by trash mobs in CT.

But you still don't heal on the same level as with your real gear. You lose massive amounts of stats by choosing seasonal gear. You wouldn't want a healer to heal your Coil group in AF1 gear, would you? Still you decide to bring even worse gear and want everyone to just live with it.

Hah, the "I play a wanted role, so I can get away with things" is backfiring.
Nice.

And if you want another reason, CT is so full of trolls and griefers that people have developed a very low tolerance to those kinds of actions.
If you enter CT in anything but job specific gear you'll be stapled troll and kicked.

To be fair, they should be able to as well. If you think they can't do their jobs wearing swimsuits, whatever makes you think you can do yours? The other healer is carrying you. That's what you're doing, expecting others to pick up your slack.

Get an entire raid in swimsuits and see how well that goes.

Is this some kind of joke thread?
