We need alternate ways to farm philo stones..

Its only marginally better, and only if its hq'ed and has materia in it, but the cost of the materials makes it a damn pretty big waste of time when dl gear is just as good/will do. Sorry but I am not going to pay like 500k in mats on my server to make an HQ ilvl 70 item(which then costs even more when u factor in materia), when I could just get dl pieces instead and save my cash. Why waste money on stuff that your just gonna rep with the stuff from coil/myths anyway? seems like a major waste of gil.

Also most of the people who flame me are just retarded fanboys anyway, that don't even have a 50 yet and cannot see the problems, we need the philo stone shit addressed now, not in 2+ months. Same with the ilvl req's on dungeons like AK and such and primal fights. So sick of fucking scrubs in af and lv 44 gc weapons in garuda or titan HM, or even AK when they have no business being in those fights/dungeons yet.

I'll be honest if something doesn't change and soon I highly doubt I'll be here when 2.1 hits. I know a bunch of people on the verge of quitting just b ecause of how damn boring the game is once you have a 50. Lving a 2nd class is not even fun since all u do is run from fate to fate, leves are shit for xp for combat classes, and dungeons aren't much better especally with how piss-poor the playerbase is on faerie more often than not.

Words.

In the time it takes you to grind out that darklight gear doing these "boring" castrum runs you're hating you could've leveled a gathering/crafting class. Earned some gil and got yourself equal or better gear than DL.

Instead you are focussing on a SINGLE aspect of a game.

The only Philo stone issue is that people want to play 1 battle class and 1 battle class only. But the real benefits in gameplay come from multiple battle classes and cross class abilities (Blood for Blood on a BRD for example).

If you're sick of "scrubs" in DF then why are you not running HM Primals, AK, Coil with a FC? Since when has PUG been the more acceptable form of endgame?! 44GC weaps etc. are more than enough for CM (Which is the only DF dungeon most people run endgame). Try grouping with people you know in a linkshell and FC or from your server in MD if you want a reliable time in HM's

If the game is not for you then that is fair enough. I'm not a fanboy in the slightest btw I'm seeing certain problems too but they are not the same as yours by any means. If what you want is a spank a single battle class to cap then you're right this game aint for you.
