Allagan Gear getting buffed to ilvl95.

[Scratchs]

I haven't been able to farm any myth, since I don't have any interest nor time for that. Your stance is pretty elitist. I literally have 2 hours a week to play (rarely more than 20 minutes a stretch), and I'm telling you, it is bad enough as it is. Why FORCE me to grind dungeons for top end gear? There should be more options to get the best gear for those of us that don't have an infinite amount of time running dungeons and raids all week. As an example, my favourite thing to do in game is to socialize, and even still, this activity has NO currency or gear rewards AT ALL even if a chat session normally requires a larger time investment than a "speed run" dungeon.

In the producers live letter they indicated they are adding more ways to gain tomes including solo methods. I'm really glad this game has tokens, it lets me have really great ilvl 90 armor without having to deal with all the elitest %@#%@'s like most of the people in this thread.

You're right, because you oh so need that high level armor when you have no intention of doing anything more with it than solo play which will require far less than it. It's not elitist to question why some people feel like they need the best of the best gear so much when they only do the easiest of content that requires gear far below it or even just play the game for "20 minutes" a day when they won't even be doing dungeon runs.

Why is the best gear needed for someone that doesn't do any sort of multiplayer content and literally just logs on for the social aspect of the game and to play dress up? That is what people are against for some of the people whining that they need the best gear in the game when they don't even intend to do the content where said gear comes from or that would need the gear to progress.

This kind of attitude is why I believe we need ilevel sync in dungeons. That way, people who have no intention of doing the content that requires high level gear don't feel they NEED or deserve to have it handed to them.

I just want it so deflate the ego's of elitest who think they're better than everyone. Guess what you aren't myth is pretty much equal to allagan so the hell with you all.

Hopefully theres an end run around hardcore content for us casuals for the rest of the life of this game.

I also run the content where said gear comes from or equivalent ilvl gear, it's also required for the end boss of said raid. You sound like you do nothing more than wp/ak/primal farms for guildies, none of which requires even close to the best of the best gear. If you have no intention of dealing with "elitists" or doing the endgame raid then why do you need the best gear when everything sub coil can and is done with ilvl 50-70 gear?

That's what I was saying if you read what I wrote or even looked which post I was quoting you on. You posted against someone else who thinks of myth gear as af1 and is a supplement to allagan gear. You said that af1 was considered ilvl 50 gear, which considering af2 hasn't been released yet myth gear is either af1 or af1.5.

Now if for some reason you think af2 armor won't be myth gear then I have some bad news for you considering Square seems to be doing everything in their power to keep dungeon currency the same as WoW has theirs. Meaning because you can get af1 through myth now....where do you think af2 will come from? Because it sure won't be coming from turns 6-10 in coil when they even showed off new coil sets to go with those turns.

AF1 is Artifact Armor, which is the armor one gets from completing the job story line. Relic Armor is the job specific armor bought with mythology tomestones. "AF2" is some job specific armor that has yet to be released.

Is it really that hard to understand?

So much drama!

To kill monsters faster just like everyone else.

Again if you actually read what I wrote.

You have to be derping pretty hard to think that it's an "unknown source" where af2 will come from. It's clear as day where they got the badge/point/tomestone system from considering said game has had it for years and has influenced every single mmo with tiered progression since it started with it's badges. Af2 will be the new myth gear for 2.2, so lets put this into perspective. When af2 comes out in 2.2 and it is myth gear, does that make it "relic armor" like you say af1 is? Or does that mean that possibly the current myth gear is actually af1 and the new myth gear is labeled af2 to tell people "hey this is tiered progression through badges, we'll probably make all "af" gear through myth so it doesn't make people question the name of it."

To kill monsters faster just like everyone else.

To kill monsters that require limited gear in the first place slightly faster like everyone else? Because ak and wp are so hard in the first place that they require the best gear to farm them? Or do you mean random mobs out in the world? Because if so it's funny that you could think that even the hardest daily quest in 2.1 will require anything more than ak gear to be able to do by yourself or in a party.

Wouldn't it be better to just ignore and pay them no mind? That is what those types of people feed off of anyway, attention...be it positive or negative.

Also I don't know what you mean by saying "hardcore content for us casuals"...my boyfriend plays 2 hours a night IF that...because of school and stuff and he has his DRG and PLD decked out in allagan. He has everything 50, done all the class quests, has all HQ melded crafting gear. If 2 hours or less isn't casual idk what is. >.> There is no hardcore content in this game atm. Hardcore means you spend a TON of time raiding....we don't have anything even remotely close to that yet. We have 5 turns that can be beaten in a couple hours or so once a week...then we are locked out.
