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

[Zarzak]

Gear in MMORPG in my opinion is a mark of what you have achieved and your level of skill. But in 14 the line gets easily blurred which is unfortunate.

What are you talking about? Playing 40 questions when you invite someone to a group is much more fun.

/shout LFM for Titan HM for my alt's relic

"Hey I'm a ilvl 108 blm can I join"

Normal MMO response: Hell yes you can. /whisper FC_Member dude some ilvl 108 blm is going to help this will be cake!

FFXIV MMO response:

1. Have you beaten Titan HM?
2. Can you dodge landslides
3. Do you know that you shouldn't spam Fire 3?
4. Have you ever raided in a real MMO?
5. Have you beaten Turn 2 enrage method?
6. Can you beat Turn 3 trash?
7. Do you know what game your playing right now?


Since theres about a 90% chance that despite what any ingrained MMO logic would tell you about level of gear being somewhat representative of skill level... The guy likely couldn't manage the "if you get a red mark over your head run to the A mark behind the boss"

Also, raiding isn't that hard by itself.

In FFXIV? No but that is a long term issue that has been discussed for a while. But at the moment there is no point in addressing difficulty until the issue of relevance is addressed.

I don't think I've actually seen many people "demanding" they need to have access to the same gear - merely happy that SE provided them with one.

After 3 months of people complaining since 2.2 that "ilvl 110 gear shouldn't be locked behind SCoB"
