Allied Seals Merchant: How does this make sense?

It doesn't make sense how many times this question is asked lol! It is vanity gear. You can only get that particular gear if you are a member of that specific GC and it can only be purchased via allied seals, so it is "special" in a sense. Old myth gear is just made easier to buy regardless of gear level.

We know it's just vanity gear, is not like you opened our eyes with this comment.

The question is why are they just vanity. They would have served their glamour purpose just as well if they had useful stats. I mean here you have a whole lot of sets that designers and modelers spent time on which is useless.

The same exact problem the sets of the new HM dungeons have.

That's a good point. I always enjoyed the GC gear levelling up, and how they had synergies with eachother, granting bonuses. They could have easily recreated that for an alternative higher-level armour and weaponry using Sanction. Not sure why they only focused on vanity gear :/

Although there's still several unattainable GC ranks, so here's hoping a future update offers nice upgrades there.

While they are just vanity, they can be used on alt jobs, or if people want to play with a "challenge" style with minimum item levels for fights they could be used for that as well.

With the amount of seals they cost I can fully equip every alt class with i90. They are useless stat wise, they are just vanity gear.

Next patch ilv goes up and they'll become even more useless.
