[Spiritbonding] and HOW IN Hydaelyn DO WE DO IT????

[Urthdigger]

The point is instead of creating content to achieve a very in high demand task required for vast amounts of jobs classes and roles, they simply removed an already working option (spiritbonding in the open world which has been going on since 1.0) and changed it to just do more of the same things we are already having to do over and over and over for tomes, gear, quests etc etc.

Err... all the stuff you could spiritbind in the open world can still be bound there. The only difference is you can't SB stuff vastly lower level than the content (you never could SB stuff vastly over-levelled for content). I doubt there were many folks running grade 1 and 2 materia items at Urth's Fount anyway. This mostly affected people taking level 49 accessories into level 80 dungeons.
