a sign of a downward slope for gamers is that some of them are actually okay with it.
It's called MMOJRPG. You don't have to be okay with it. You don't even have to grind it if you choose not to, but this is a typical mechanic in these kinds of games. It was only a matter of time before it popped up.

You can wait until other patches come out and gear becomes obsolete if you like; It's going to be funny when they introduce some kind of XI intense content for hardcore endgamers. Might never hear the end of it afterwards.
