Best Gear in Coil needs to end

[Gormogon]

I just don't really get why these people want this gear

The binding coil of bahamut has main story relevance to it. Which is why a lot of people want to do it. I care more about that than the gear itself.

I find there is far more negativity and whining from the "anti-elitist" crowd than anything else.

So negativity from the "anti-elitist" is when "you" don't like it when they say good things that benefit everyone not just the 2%?

That's pretty hilarious.

Then do it?

Then do it?

And put up with all the drama of whining and rage quitting? No thanks I'll pass.

I tolerated it in WoW up until WotLK and I only had to tolerate some of it up until Cataclysm and MoP. I didn't enjoy much of it 2.1 and I'm not liking how worse it got with 2.2.

Sounds like you need better friends.

You must have missed the constant lambasting of "elitists" on these forums, or the fact that you can't argue an opinion other than "all players are special snowflakes who deserve to have everything" without being told that you are basically the spawn of satan. Then of course, if you decide you want to play in a way which the carebear community doesn't like (setting requirements!) you are somehow toxic even though you should be allowed to play however you want, right? Also, it is everyone's sworn duty at any moment to carry people through content or else you are toxic.

Best gear should be in hardest content, but how about making it less boring? It's all the same as our level 5 gear but with more stats, where are the fun things like set bonuses, or activate-able trinkets?

I do completely agree with this. The itemisation in this game is extremely dull. Non-weapon gear increases are minor and unexciting (and in some extreme cases are actually downgrades depending on secondary stats awarded). Set bonuses, trinkets, and relic weapons with abilities/procs/etc beyond just slightly higher stats makes the gear exciting and worth striving for.

This kind of stuff would be nice, they had a little of it at the end of 1.0, but more likely people know about all of this from WoW. Balancing for this kind of stuff is really tricky, and this game was rushed, so I doubt we will see anything like this until the dev team feels like they have finally caught up to where they should be, I'm thinking around the first expansion. WoW took their stat system and this stuff a little too far, and now they are scaling it back, so that might have the XIV team a little scared to really get into it too.

That's a pretty vocal claim you got there. Especially when not even 100% of all the user base commenting are commenting here.

What is a "vocal" claim? Aren't all claims vocal?
