So, pretty dead lately....

Man, I don't even wear tank jewelry on my tank. I can't fathom why people want to wear it on anything else.

I actually ended up with a healer in Vault once who, after 4 wipes of the final boss, I noticed had all tank accessories on, to which they swapped to healer and dropped to like 4k hp, when everyone else had like 7k-8k. 4k is like what, i90 or so for lvl 50.

Eh. Forcing people to do Gold Saucer in order to raid leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's no different than if people were forced to raid in order to craft or forced to gather in order to cra... oh wait. :3

Well, it doesn't have to be Golden Saucer, just something else that's not 2 expert dungeons.
And to be fair, older mmos had something like this, where you'd get materials and items from a raid so that crafters could craft it into different raid gear than what dropped.

Take Sky in XI for example, there was the actual gear like Osode http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kirin%27s_Osode , then there were abjurations which you could use on cursed gear that crafters could make, to turn it into things like Zenith or crimson http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/W...juration:_Legs both of which dropped from the same mob.

Why are you still here. Just leave.

Then go play it. Right now.

>_> Going to be that guy, but the only thing you're doing in this topic is putting down ideas and telling people to gtfo. Why don't you take your own advice? You're not giving any feedback or anything to help. As many of us have pointed out, the ideas we're suggesting are what kept older mmos going, even after 13+ years. The things XIV is doing are whats killed practically every mmo since 2005 within ~3 years.
