Best Gear in Coil needs to end

[Kiara]

I think it would be better if coil dropped *some* of the best stuff, but not all of it.

Say i110 main gear (head, chest, gloves, legs, feet) only dropped in coil. And only t9 dropped the i115 weapon.

But the rest of the i110 gear should be somewhere else in the world (sld tokens, primal fights, long quests or whatever).

Right now you've got ALL of the i110 stuff (right & left sides of the inventory) and all of the i110 upgrade tokens for SLD gear (including weapon) and the i115 weapons are ONLY available on the 4 bosses in coil2. Content that both favors playing with a static and is behind a weekly lockout. Basically it's too much crammed onto too few bosses. So it's not only bad for the raiders (too much loot crammed into too few loot tables makes it extremely RNG dependent to get your gear), but it's also bad for the players who can't play at specific set times (for a static) since all of the i110+ pieces are not in content that is available to them.

Great post Giantbane. I definitely agree. I wanted to voice my support as well for...

More Variety of Challenging Content, and not just have it all crammed behind 1 Dungeon with a Weekly Lockout.

It's always good to have variety, and as Gormogon said, alternatives for players of all types and schedules, rather than have everything tied to 1 weekly locked out dungeon.

Yeah I bet you and Giantbane would like that gear handed to you. Too bad. And why do people keep saying statics have to have set times? Do people really run their statics so poorly? We just raid when all of our members are free and that's never stopped us from getting server first. Just join a group with times that work for you.

I tottally agree, once again. I think I may have posted on this already but I wanted to add something.
Yeah, I'm tired of the same old boring MMO structure too! We need more options.
But I felt I should point out there are other ways of getting best in slot now without doing coil. Like the weapons for instance.

The best gear from the hardest dungeons has been implemented since the creation of RPGs. That's the incentive to beat the hard content (you get more powerful gear). Those who beat the hardest content and obtain the best gear can join parties that have yet to beat the content and give that party a slight edge. This is common sense stuff here.

I'm all for changing turns 6-8 to the old CT lockout of one item per week, and just have t9 as one kill/wk lockout.

Correction. Best gear since the creation of RPGs have been through quest lines to balance out the difficulty of end game content since it couldn't be done otherwise.

The model used has turned into giving a temporary BiS gear yet that doesn't help balance out difficulty that relies solely on skill and luck.

I can touch the subject of WoW's pre tier 1 gear and how it was all the way up to MoP but there's no point. This is FFXIV ARR and there's a current issue that denies a big population of players from experiencing end game raiding because of the current model used. Elitistjerks should be proud that they can be part of the top 100 and anything below should be insignificant to them and how people achieve it because a big portion of the games story is hidden behind raiding.

Arguably I and my friends would love this.

The topic should be "I want it, but I'm not good enough....Please give it to me effortlessly anyway."

More like you want it named that way because the idea of more players doing coil rustles your jimmies.

Another person who thinks they are better then everyone else because they do coil.... sad

People don't get it. Coil does not make you a good player. Means you have a head set and a good fc or linkshell. You don't understand the purpose of this thread. You most likely didn't read it. It's about options. The fact that some people due to life simply can't do coil and should be allowed other options.
