High Level Dungeon Gear Is Redundant

Yesterday, when gaining levels for the Monk and taking the Level 45 challenge, I noticed that not only do I get the Monk's Level 45 gear but I also get the Level 50/Item Level 90 gear too. This means that a lot of gear that can be obtained in the High Level series of dungeons is weaker than gear that you get by doing the Level 45 and 50 Job challenges.

Because of this, I would like to make a formal request to have all gear found in High Level dungeons which were introduced from Patch 2.1 to Patch 2.4 be replaced due to their redundancy, with more of crafting items like the Hardened Sap and the Lime Sulphur. Logically speaking, it just makes sense to do this because so much gear will never get used.

there were never an use for that gear besides glamour and getting gc seals. the dungeon gear was outdatet at release.

This isn't even true. The job challenge stuff is i50, body i55, and dungeon drops start at i55. The only way to get the job-specific i90 gear now is thru dungeons. They basically skipped making a dungeon-specific i90 set and rebranded the previous i90 tome gear as those dungeon drops.

Also desynth means your request should never be done.

With introduction of Heavensward, your level 45 and 50 quests give you the old Myth set, i90. Plus the normal i50/55 AF gear.

You will not take my glamor

Except that gear was relevant when the dungeons were implemented in their patches. Back when 2.0 launched, tomes were actually somewhat difficult to grind out and very time consuming, so dungeon gear was a good replacement until you got the tomes needed for tome gear. The dungeons at the times of their implementation helped bridge the gap and assisted newer players in getting into higher ilvls of gear and thus the higher ilvl dungeons. Also before they made it so each treasure chest in High Level roulette dungeons dropped 1 piece of gear and 1 crafting material, 70% of the time it would be a crafting material and I'm pretty sure I remember a lot of desynth levelers complaining about this.

Oh wow. OK then, just the desynth issue.

And the fact they made everything drop both gear + mats where before it was one or the other. Can't really expect any more than that.

Not entirely. The i60 stuff that dropped from AK was decent to have when doing Ifrit HM and Garuda HM. Having some pieces mixed in with your DL set was also alright, so long as you had more than 3200HP.

I do NOT want more crafting item drops. One of the biggest complaints I heard when they started this was "OMG STOP GIVING ME MATS I DON'T WANT THEM I DON'T CRAFT". The only time you wanted these mats was when you were endgame crafting and didn't want to spend those hard earned tomes. Almost all of these can now be bought with chump change version of GC seals.
The gear exists now solely for glamour or seals.
