Once you start giving out the Carbontwines

Can you also let us upgrade the WoD items to i130 please? It will just give us that many more choices to play around with without really breaking the game.

This sounds like a viable suggestion :D

Tbh >_> It'd be a whole lot better if they had made WoD gear i125, so you have an option between upgrading ironworks and dreadwyrm. Kind of hope they go that direction later on. Kinda defeats the purpose of releasing that new gear when usually the tome gear beats it and most people wouldn't waste a weekly item on something the same ilvl, even if its better.

But at the same time, they need more than two gear sets at the same ilvl, so we have more options to pick from and can mix and match, instead of "I'll get this full set", it'd be "Should I work for this piece? Or maybe that one?". That's what was great about older mmos. It gave you more to work for instead of only a single thing (expert) per day.

WoD pieces replacing FCoB pieces as best in slot? No thanks, and I haven't even started Final coil yet.

Not everyone does coil and to be honest it's not even necessary to gear up a job.

It's already been proven that anything over ilvl110 isn't required to beat final coil, it just gives more room for error. Having WoD gear upgradable to ilvl130 would do little to change balance of endgame.

Imo Syrcus Tower gear should of been the upgradable gear instead of soldiery, doesn't make much sense to have raid gear be inferior to vendor gear that came out before it.

Because ilvl dictates BiS now? NO, the stats dictate what is BiS and WoD, ironworks and Dread all have their own stats meaning anyone of them will be BiS imo Dread still has the best stats out of all 3 sets.

So in this case the BIS happens to be the hardest one to acquire the Dread, since it gives both SCH and WHM vital stats they need, sure it has no DET but a both classes and use SS and Crit well.

But a i120 item has less stat points than an i130 piece of equipment, so ilvl does kinda dictate what "could" be BiS, unless we're talking about crafted gear. Materia sockets on non crafted gear, please?

Right, too much customization for a casual mmo. I forgot.

Well i had a look comparing stats and the Dread has more SS/Crit but lacks in MND and VIT compared to the ironworks so really WoD sets wont become BiS because the ironworks appear better, and everyone can easily farm Carbontwine from hunting..at least WoD means you need to run raids and have a random loot chance.

However i think they should do a weekly like carboncoat to make it fair to FcoB raiders.

I like this idea, why has no one thought of this before?

If the so-called "elite" that obtain that classification from playing a mere 5% of all content in the game want to cry about it, let them cry. Of all the would be temporary un-subscribers, they are the extreme minority, and they would strip themselves of the "elite" title in doing so.

No one is forcing you to replace gear. continue wearing FCoB pieces as if its some special badge of being "hardcore." Pretty sure titles are meant to be that badge of accomplishment.
