SE should have kept the old level 90 AF2 gear.
Some people want to collect them for each job just for looks.
AF items are iconic and important in the world of FF. They are specific for each job and look different, it's understandable why many FF fans want to collect them all.

The new system that forces you to spam the 3 new dungeons is just a cheap way to bring people into doing those dungeons even more, and once new content is released it will be quite painful to farm them.



Concerning the new changes to Hunts/Seals I think this is how things should have always been, honestly. Hunts were way too generous first, I'm surprised they didn't patch it immediately.
Of course we're all used to that sort of generosity, so anything less than that (even if more "balanced") will rightfully make us angry.
As sad as a choice as it may be, I can understand it and support it.
The removal of AF2 gear instead has no reason at all, it's just stupid.
