Poll: Gear progression, horizontal or vertical?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I don't get what you mean... Are you saying that because Bahamut doesn't care about balancing, nobody would complain? We already see many complains about balancing, even though FFXIV is one of the most balanced MMOs out there.

Most people (at least the ones doing endgame raids) wouldn't play a certain job if they aren't producing the amount of DPS, for example, that it should do.

Like I said in my previous post, you would just find a set of gear that is good, then there would be no reason to get new gear in the game ever... Unless they completely change the game to fit with this style of gear. Can imagine myself being bored to death after a year, still wearing pretty much the same gear as when I started, and raiding only giving me some glamour...

Making gear with effects everyone can acquire fixes that. There will not be "one best set" it will be trade-offs and play-styles.

If you have that-of an easy choice in picking gear then its already failed.

I don't see any balance concerns with the game, people can argue for hours for example about War/PLD but both jobs are good, both jobs can beat the game. The only job right now that isn't balanced, is for example SMN. It needs a boost. Its getting a boost.
