Who is gonna raid now with the iLvl 110 gear handed to people??

[Nel_Celestine]

High Allagan gear. Only comes from running Second Coil of Bahamut.


Gerwolt Masterworks (Soldiery Gear). Obtained via Soldiery tomes and upgraded via Hunts, Syrcus Tower and Second Coil of Bahamut.


To obtain Best in Slot, one needs only run Second Coil and those whom consider themselves raiders have done so for well over three months now. Those not raiding second coil are now gearing up in another method but will ~NOT~ have best in slot gear. They can then use their current upgraded gear IF THEY SO CHOOSE to run Second Coil and obtain best in slot before 2.4.


If you feel the need to show off how much better you are as a raider by numbers rather than actions you can wait until 2.4 then. Otherwise go ahead and fill your small country with all the 'bad' players. (since apparently a small country is around 2 million people or less?) Just remember who pays for the development of your next tier of shiny shiny loot that you want to rub in people's faces.

Prediction: ilvl gets raised in 2.4 no one cares about hunts at all, 2.5 items at ilvl cap added to hunts so people stop moaning and to catch up to raiders for the next major patch

TL;DL - 2.3 is a catch-up patch who cares what people get when it will all be replaced in 3 months...........

Yes, it's fair. Only those entitled feel like they deserve more. It's not that big of a deal. Like I said. Get over it.

lol, I would love to work with you, where ever it is that you're employed, if you're even employed at all. I will sit on my hands all day and you can do the work, as long as we both get the same paycheck at the end of the day. Oh, and since I am a good sport, I will give you 10% of my pay, just so you can feel properly rewarded.

You greatly over estimate the benefits of BiS. It's on par with a 10% performance boost in most cases.

You seem to think entitlement only goes one way. Players feel entitled to get easy good gear seems to be your opinion.
I'm here to inform you it swings both ways. You clearly feel entitled to better gear than others.

The entitlement is strong in this one.

Yes I feel entitled, I can admit that. Unlike some of the non-raiders here.

I feel entitled because I spend millions of gil on food and pots for cutting edge progression.

I feel entitled because I show up to my raid nights many weeks and don't get any loot despite having seen the content over and over again.

I feel entitled because of all the practice, time, and effort I put into learning these fights.

Yes, I am entitled. Its different from a casual player's sense of entitlement which is "I want what they have for less effort because I pay the same sub fee."

No. This is the EASIEST end game content any remotely successful MMO has had pretty much ever.

Bullcrap! If it is oh so easy like you say it is then how come nobody could beat twin for ages in the beginning? I remember well the threads where people actually settled on the fact that twin was unkillable and wait for new gear sets to come out.

The easiest endgame content out of every MMO? Don't exaggerate so much. You think we haven't played these other MMOs?

You seem to think those players aren't doing anything at all. Did you completely forget they have to first farm solidery for weeks on end to get i100 gear? Then did you also forget they have to farm the living crap out of hunts to get 7 sands? That's 5250 Allied Seals. That will take many week/months for a casual player. This coming from people who aren't hardcore players running coil after all. They arent so dedicated to blowing out all 7 in one week of constant hunts. You seem to think this gear practically falls into their lap and that couldn't be further from the truth. They aren't sitting around and doing nothing. They are earning it too. Just not the same way you are.

Your analogy is a failed attempt to disparage and insult me and it doesn't even take into account what's actually happening. It's time to grow up. It's time to get over it.

If you really are a Hardcore raider. 10% is 10% more then they will be doing and you will look more stylish in High Allagan. What more do you want?

So much for that theory. Please try again with how things are just handed to players.

He also seems to forget that when you're doing say 350 DPS that 10% is 35 more DPS. It's not insignificant.

[Exstal]

You know, these people are right. Let them have their i110. Gear doesn't cure stupidity.

Lets not pretend the the effort from hunts + solidery capping is equivocal to the time, effort, and resources you spent learning t6-t8. You can fool yourself and say that some how the two efforts are equivalent, but they are not.

The absurd post I made was to highlight what an idiotic notion it seems to be that it is fair when effort is not proportional to reward.

If you really are a Hardcore raider. 10% is 10% more then they will be doing and you will look more stylish in High Allagan. What more do you want?

How about a mount you can only get while the raid is current content? How about a title for clearing T9 ten times before the next raid patch? There is plenty of places to add rewards to the raiding scene.

Hello Kitty Island adventure doesn't count. Hell World of Warcraft.. the game that made pandering to the lowest common denominator mainstream is harder than FFXIV 2.0 raiding.
