What's the point of R50 Gear...

[Vahzl]

Basic premise of all MMo's:

Level up > Get gear > Enter endgame > Get better gear > Do harder endgame > Get better gear

The cycle then repeats as you increase the cap.

The base line of any MMo, and to a lesser extent, any RPG, is to get better gear to get better gear, to get better gear.

If you are this far along and you feel you need to ask this question, without realising this, then your issues are far bigger than your silly question.

Thank god, someone with common sense and reasoning capabilities!

Yeah you're right, I guess we should all remain R36 forever so there are 14 ranks of epic content above us.

Really; if you don't want to be R50 then don't post negative crap about 1 out of 4 perfectly reasonably points made in a rebuttal. Enjoy being R36, or rank up, or quit.

SE is putting out content finally and people are COMPLAINING that some of the gear is for max-rank players? Give me a break. There is lower rank content and the giant batch of NMs caters to mid-rank players...

Should FFXIV's "Absolute Virtue" already exist? What do you really want from this game, seriously?

I don't want more gear for lower levels. The only thing I'm complaining is the lack of content.

I've never played a MMORPG that works like that... :|

I played so long because it was fun (and I have some friends I play with), but I fear that the moment I hit rank 50 playing Lancer wont be fun anymore because I'm only collecting gear.. or to get stronger for no reason.

Do you ever read the Producers Letter or Interviews?

If you say so.

He's the first guy I felt that really answered the question. It was helpful because i've never reached max level in an MMO before.
