    They seem to have fixed that pretty well for PLD, though. Shields come as an 'extra' drop (ie you get 3 items from a chest instead of two), or cost less tokens, or things can be bought as a set now...

    So that reason doesn't really hold up anymore.

    I remember that live letter too and that was pretty much the reason spot on, and in FCoB that damn shield wasn't an extra it still ate a slot. adding wands and caster shields back in would just add to the item bloat.

    Yep, that FCoB Turn 12 Dreadwyrm Shield drop took me awhile to get. Hated how it was part of the two items you could get weekly, should have been a possible third slot. Oh well, once the weekly lock out was abolished I finally got one.

    Of course with Ravana EX I had to buy the shield since well it never dropped in conjunction with anything, but the 7 tokens for sword + 3 shield price is a fair trade off. It would likely be the same with WHM/BLM if they did it again. With the amount of jobs now the token system does ease the pain a little bit.

    I think it had something to do with the completely missed shield for BLM in BCoB.
