Arbitrary restrictions are not interesting. They are not masterstrokes. They are not innovation. They don't make the game better. They just make the game poorer and stupider. If that's the game you want to play and pay for, that's fine. Some of us don't want that kind of game. There's no reason to have ARR be that kind of game and so we complain.

Stop whinning about our whinning. Because "stop whinning" is the best argument EVUR.

What's the point of leveling then? What's the point of getting new gear, for Vanity or Use? Why are you playing?

The point of leveling is to get stronger, to do more challenging dungeons and raids, to participate in PvP, to obtain more and better gear, to better earn gil, to participate in Beastman content and other level-cap story content... There is plenty purpose to leveling to cap. The vanity system does not need to be and SHOULD NOT be used as an incentive for that.

I think thats probably the most overly melodramatic thing I have read today. It brings to mind flavors of a totalitarian regime, or maybe a theocracy lol. Way too big of a sentence to use when it comes to a vanity system in a video game....you should have saved it for another day!

What's ironic to me is that by simply looking at your character's face icon, I can instantly tell you are already 50th level as you are wearing a Darklight cowl. So, you are raging over something that doesn't even affect you at all.

I didn't know level 50s weren't allowed to voice displeasure at things locked behind level 50. Apparently there is some rule somewhere which says otherwise.

I never said he had no right to voice displeasure. If you re-read my comment, I simply said I find it ironic. Have a nice day.
