Please SE, no more crafting mat dungeon rewards.

No..... and here is why

2.0 dungeons drop ilvl 65 gear..... provide currency for ilvl 90 gear.

2.2 dungeons drop ilvl 70 gear.... provide currency for ilvl 100 gear (and the previous tier's ilvl 90 gear).


The actual drops are totally and completely pointless. Get myth/soldiery.

And before you talk about "fresh 50s" I made a 2nd toon and leveled a bard to be able to double up on raids in 2.0. Got 1 drop from dungeons before I was in full darklight/Ifrit bow.

I need my myth for my atma books and I need the soldiery for my main class. I want the gear from the hard modes and CT so I can gear up my other classes to run Coil 1 with them, so I can start getting that gear.

Not everyone plays at your speed. Seeing that you leveled a 2nd character simply to dual-log raids, I would assume you plow through things pretty quickly. What about people who only play a few hours a night, a couple days a week, a brand spankin' new character working their way through the massive story, etc. The gear that people are getting from dungeons does in fact have it's place. Maybe not for YOU, but for the greater population.

Crafting mats should only come from the side chests. It's a slap in the face to beat the boss and get filtered water.
It's do difficult to get the i70 gear sets. I still havent even seen the healer body drop. :/

I haven't seen the healer body either *shakes fist*

Capping your currency weekly is 2.5 hours of play tops. I dunno what people think goes into "plowing things pretty quickly" but I generally log in for 15 minutes do my roulette and then sit around or log out.

Leveling the bard... basically the same thing. i'd log in, queue up for daily, and od story quest while waiting on dps queue. Maybe an hour total a day.

I'm glad it works for you, but again, you can't apply your speed at obtaining items to the greater player base and expect for it to make for a decent argument. Not everyone caps tomes each week. But even if they did, that's what, one piece of solidery gear a week/every other week for higher priced items? What do they do in the meantime? Grind myth? What if they're trying to gear a second job and are spending all their myth on books?

[Skivvy]

Well ignoring the fact that you suggest capping soldiery is a speed of obtaining items that the greater player base is unable to accomplish then suggesting they are spending HUNDREDS of hours working 1st on Atma then on Animus.... (really your suggesting they don't have the play time to gear up but that they have the time to get 12 atma before they need to burn myth?)
./points at coil 1-4

Nowhere did I say that all of my examples would encompass one person. Pick your flavor, and run with it. The examples I gave are still perfectly valid. And yes, coil is a valid option as well, but not everyone does all content. The joy of an MMO is that there are typically several paths you can take to gear yourself.

Anyway, I agree with the OP. Mixing crafting mats with boss chests is poo
