Bahamut Lair gear equal to Mythology gear?

[Vanidin]

I understand, but the main problem is that gear obtained through mythology will automatically be better than what will come out in Crystal Tower theoretically.

I will have mythology gloves available next week. Those gloves will automatically be better (theoretically) than what a new raid dungeon will produce 2 months from now. That is a major problem with itemization.

BC is there for the hardcore people, nothing wrong with that. There are tons of people though that are still rocking full time af, plenty still that are leveling jobs or struggling with primal fights. I've been spamming Ifrit trying to get his sword for the last few days as most pugs simply don't have the dps for garuda. The shear number of people with awful weapons or gear is astounding, and I've been asked often enough where some of my gear comes from (AK).

Honestly I think Crystal tower, if it comes out in the next 2 months or so will probably land just about right for a good portion of the player base. That is, the more casual portion of the player base that isn't moving through content as quickly. Is it strange that the tougher dungeon came out first? Kind of, but kind of not. This is an atypical launch as the playerbase already contains a portion of players that have the gear to push ahead without CT.
