Required rank on all gear

[Zanfire]

Moving forward, gear that is introduced from notorious monsters and other such content will have requirements placed on them as we will be phasing out the "Optimal Rank" system for that loot. With new recipes being introduced in 1.19, the old recipes will be lost and it will not be possible to make that specific piece of gear anymore going forward. (For example, please see [dev1016] where it shows the change from a Hempen Doublet to a Hempen Doublet Vest) So only the currently existing versions that exist prior to the change will feature "Optimal Rank" features.

kind of a lame update, back to any tard wearing high rank gear because they can, and low end gear still costing out the ass because noone wants to make it, or DoL bother getting those materials.

The reason people wear high level gear (30-50) when low level is quadfold

1. They already have a level 50 and dont want to bother changing gear when changing class for a few leves.
2. They dont want to spend money on gear between 1-30 because you litterally are in that level range for less then 5 hours (Speed runs have people getting to 30 in 1 Leve Reset)
3. The material lists requirements are shit so making them yourself sucks.
4. The material lists requirements are shit so crafters overcharge for them.

Its not always because the person is retarded.
