Why is Myth gear as good as Allagan gear, or even better?

[Sayura_]

Do people like you even think? At all? The idea here is that while doing your gear-less Coil runs you would be earning the highest level token, in this case Allagan Tomestones of Mythology. Incorporating the lockout into the mix would just involve making all 5 Turns of the Coil add up to the maximum number of Mythology allowed per week. Your gear-free runs would then add up to the Mythology gear you currently wear on your continued attempts.

This isn't freaking theoretical astrophysics, people.

How is this any different? Coils 1-3 (3 being a lol) is NOT hard. So why do you care if we get tokens from there or farming WP?

Do you even think? At all?

Thus the point people are making that item level 90 gear tokens should come from level 90 content. Way to miss the entire point of the thread.

I for one applaud square for annihilating epeen wagging to the extent that they have. Mostly because I like to watch people who are prone to getting mad at video games get mad at video games.

Do your stuff the way you want and let the others do theirs the way they want, its easy as that, complaining about that is useless.

IMHO if you had Coil loot lockouts like in CT, you'd have a point.

At this current time though, it's mind-numbingly slow and boring to grind out all the mythstones necessary to fully deck yourself out in a Zenith relic and full myth gear. And people who get lucky with getting a good Coil static and regular stream of Coil loot are already ridiculously overgeared while the less fortunate are endangered of getting fed up with the slow and tedious grind, no matter which way you go about it.

In a nutshell: if you can get into a static that farms Coil regularly it's easier AND faster to deck yourself out with Coil gear than it is to grind out the myth gear. Even now with the devs having raised the myth stone cap.

Nothing has changed really. You have more players that try to wag it now because gear is so easy to get that everyone that has a relic or myth think they are good.

[Brises]

I'm not sure what the problem is. I know many players who cap myth every week, get the gear when they can, and also run coil and get that gear. Nobody I know seems to think anything of it.

the first 3 weeks i did coil i got an item a week, the next 11 weeks of coil i havent gotten a thing. thank god for myth items or i would still only have 3 allagan items. i would much rather get my loot from raiding something hard but at least its given me some way to get gear when drops are dry
