    Can I ask you guys something?
    Do you think getting gear through tokens is fun?

    I had only played wow vanilla before this game and doing dungeons for gear was the only way in my head or crafted gear. But with these tokens... I just feel its sooo sooo boring. I can get the same gear as everyone else (not coil gear) by just doing one or 2 dungeons a day.

    Do you guys prefer it this way instead of random dungeon drops?

    To be fair, we have both. Random drops from Coil and the more controlled tomestones loot. With RNG+lockouts it's frustrating, with tomestones cap per week it's frustrating. It's needed but.... you guessed it, frustrating.
    I don't enjoy either of those two which we currently have in game....

    I prefer rng but the lockout suck for the unlucky people.
    But I feel like tokens make the gear in this game unimportant. I feel like its actually harder to get vanity gear than useful gear. Which is why I focus more on making my character the cutest instead of the strongest.

    Yup, I'm like that. Vanity > Utility and it's the damn lockouts exactly that are annoying. Without them the RNG wouldn't be the cause of so much hair pulling. I do understand why both of these systems are needed tho.... which doesn't make me feel any better, lol.

    Both methods sound pretty much the same to me except one is grind till you're capped and the other is grind and pray for loot that you can use.

    But.. as far as it being boring well... that's not really the gear obtaining method at hand's fault more like we don't got too much to do aside gear up and extremes/coil/weekly cap after doing Hildibrand and catching up with Main Story now and then.

    You can do most not all but most current content in i90~100 easy, won't be fast as a i110 players but it can be done just as easily as them but just a little slower. Sooo in the end it's more like there's not much "Challenging" content out right now that demands gear that 'matters'. >_>;

    (I miss old pharos and other stuff.)

    Oh and as far as which I prefer, I like tomes actually... it takes more time believe it or not, due to lockout rather than sometimes being lucky with RNG and getting needed piece of gear then sitting around.

    This I totally agree with. I only got to do Pharos Sirius twice before they nerfed it but it was the most fun I have had in this game. I think we wiped like 5 times at first boss and 5 times at last boss. And my group were so determined to beat it. we changed strategies gave eachother advice and finally we beat it (I was the healer and I died every time by the ifrit rush at last boss but once someone said "dont stand too close to the middle it will make it harder to dodge the rush" I could finally dodge it and we beat it.

    It's probably the most fun I have had in this game. the group I had was patient and fun

    You would of liked Amdapor Keep before the nerf there too, Demon Wall had bees that would come out! it was really fun and WP when the game was starting out.

    Tanks actually needed heals~ (Not that they don't now but it just feels like they are much more... tanky and it's not as scary for heals inside the newer dungeons.)

    OH and Qarn too! the bees there use to 1-shot people, Content got nerfed so hard.
