do something real about leviathan ex

[Krr]

The Shiva EX weapon is also nice to have if you've cleared T9, and don't want to waste precious raid days farming it but still want an acceptable entry-level weapon for FCOB.

As for yourself though, you have no argument to begin with. Are you going to complain also that the BCoB and SCoB are now also "in the garbage" because the FCoB and the Poetics gear makes them obsolete?

The complaint is not that the weapon itself is useless. The complaint is that S-E created new content with loot systems that are better designed than old content, so old content should be retrofitted accordingly, especially when their only purpose is glamour. Game design 101.

But there is no point in retro fitting the loot system to out dated content.

SE clearly recognized there was a problem with the levi ex mirror system and made the appropriate changes for shiva (and also ramuh), yet they did not sufficiently address the original problem with mirror drops and left it in the game pretty much just to frustrate people that like the levi ex weapons.

If it was so much of a problem, why use the same system in soldiery and poetics gear? A two-stage system that involves rolling on loot against 7 other players to upgrade a single piece.
