How about some original item naming?

Another feature brought on by wow which I detest is item level. I mean if players can't discern which peice of gear is better.. Do we really need to do it for them? Either way we are past that I guess as I don't see it going anywhere. Tiered equipment will always be a failure in my book.

How about we start adding some original equipment though? Especially considering (I hope god forbid!) some parallel raid zones are added so fcs have some choice in what to run based on loot and on lockout and variables that used to be present before mmos became watered down.

Still all that is off topic. The main point of the post is "of casting" and "of striking" I mean.. Is turn 10+ going to be "ultra high Allagan xxx of xxx?"

Perhaps we can assume players know what stats their job requires (not that removing the option to roll on it doesn't do this anyhow) so why don't we have unique equipment names? I think this would add quite a bit to the game and make itemization not seem so limited and narrow. Let's take a bard belt for example.. We could try "belt of the pathfinder" instead of the general "coil gear"

It's early enough to do this sort of thing. Otherwise the game is going to continue being a rinse/repeat every patch. An item level increase and that's that.

If these things and others I'll admit, aren't remedied, what could have been a very long term successful mmo is going to see a lot of attrition come wildstar, eqnext, and even wow wod. Heck people have left for ESO even >.<

Post character count limit (seriously?!?!?)

So from what I understand, you believe that the because of ilvl on gear and gearsets having "of casting" and such on the end will be the downfall of FFXIV? I agree that it would be nice for unique gear, rather than what we have had so far as it is quite boring but I do not think it is anywhere near having people leave the game simply because of that.
