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

Every time I read these forums, imo I just see how far the mmo genre in general have truely fallen over the years kinda sad really their slowly turing into basic console game.

I think what is meant by ak/wp being low level dungeons is the ilvl of the items they drop, and the reccomended ilvl to enter them.
When I first did ak/wp they had a bit of difficulty to them, now that i have i80, they are not dfficult at all.

That may be the case, but what I'm hearing is that people are whining that the best (although in some slots it is 2nd best) gear comes from a dungeon that is arguably the 2nd hardest content the game has.

now before that gets twisted...

I'm not jumping on the difficulty. I accept the dungeons become laughably easy, as well as most content becomes so with repetition (here's to you, titan). But to say it shouldn't drop from something at (half the ilvl, i'm assuming, and not half level) is absurd when it is the 2nd highest content in the game barring a one-and-done situation (A la primals).

more so, it's not just a matter of running the dungeon once and getting the gear. It's not even a matter of running the dungeons as many times as you can in a relatively quick frame of time and getting it all. It's spaced out to supplement gearing via other means.

In short - Myth coming from where it does not only makes sense, but is the appropriate place to obtain it. The fact that (some of) it can be BiS is a bi-product of the min/max community going gung-ho (which is good, kudos to them).

Housing is hardcore know wow what (i)lvl gear needed to complete that content oh wait >.>/$/

Are you by chance typing on a cell phone? LoL I have no idea what you just said....

@ KHS

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this one.

There is too big a gap bewtween ak/wp and coil, in both ilvl and actual 'dificulty', for them to both drop bis itmes, imho.
I THINK I understand your position though, considering the current dungeon set up of the game.

[Mikedizzy]

This game's Loot system is not ideal and so Myth Gear is very important.
1. My FC is does not have a team quite ready for coils yet...almost there.
2. Even if we were farming Coils it is a once a week crap shoot on gear.
3. By the time you run coils that many times you might as well be running WP...it gets that easy. (I have done Turns 1 and 2 and not so bad)
4. I have one friend that has been running coils from the beginning and still is not FuLL Allagan...really nice system...NOT!!!!!!!
So please do not tell me Myth gear should not be the same level.

Housing should drop the best gear in the game. Once you buy a house, you go inside and look in the closet, wallahhhh BIS gear.

The second I need raid gear to do group content as a pre req by most groups is the day I stop logging into ff14

Yes certainly nothing wrong with getting awesome gear running easy dungeons every week but don't want people to just gather the materials and craft thier armor that's too easy.

I'm pretty sure you could have your whole party rock AF armor and ilvl 50 weapons and wp or ak wouldn't be a problem at all.
