armory system useless? Mythology Cap

[Sephirah]

• Play through the Binding Coil of Bahamut and obtain gear from drops.
• Collect Allagan tomestones of mythology to exchange for gear.

Although these methods are different, each allows for the acquisition of level 90 gear.

In short, players who have ample time to play are free to collect tomestones, or challenge the Binding Coil, and those who have less time can still acquire tomestones at their leisure. Despite the difference in time available to players, the game is designed so that everyone can potentially obtain item level 90 gear.

As others have mentioned, aside from the initial challenge of trying to kill a boss, why would anyone run coils if you're guaranteed the exact same gear from running AK/WP over and over.

I know casual gamers are where the money is, but please don't forget us old-school MMO-ers that enjoy progression!
