Can something be done about light farming?

Let us get lights for Roulettes, even if the dungeon/trial is a HW dungeon.

No, I don't want to see people using level 50 weapons in a level 51+ dungeon or trial.

I want lights as much as the next person, but I gotta agree with this. There are enough people who attempt Bismarck Normal with their i110s. (It doesn't end well.)

Edit: I'm so sorry! I wrote Bismarck EX originally by mistake. I meant story mode. ><

I remember I managed to pull off beating Bismark story mode with my NIN Zeta (full Crit/Det) and it was quite a tight fight... first one that made me say "okay, time to upgrade the weapon". Any lower than that would be plain wrong choice of life.

And people wonder why they can't meet the DPS checks.

The zeta weapon is 135 and is useful just past mid pay while levelling.

I'm aware, I used it until at least level 55-56, but what's your point? If they're farming light they'll be using the Novus, which is ilvl 110. I suppose I should have worded my post better: "No, I don't want to see people using a weapon that's not an appropriate ilvl for the content they're doing"?

Well, let's look at this. If a good player tries to use an under-leveled weapon and performs poorly, they'll only switch it on for the last boss to get the light. If a bad player tries to use an appropriate level of gear and still performs poorly, we just complain about that person and probably kick them from the group. How is this any different for a player who tries to use their i110 for the entire dungeon? And for the most part, you could get away with using your Novus/Nexus all the way up to Sohm Al and do just fine; there's no reason not to be able to get light from those two dungeons. Any higher, and obviously you'd notice the difference.

The other side to this (and yes, I've got 3 pre-nerf Zodiacs) is that I'd love for any and all nerfs to be had to the current questline, assuming that the "consideration" is given on a per relic-basis. Meaning, that even though I completed every step of the PLD questline within a week or so of each of their releases, the "consideration" would only be counted toward the relevant relic for the job to which it applies. I'd like to be able to have a nerfed road to the remaining zodiacs (mainly for glamor and completion's sake) and get said "consideration" toward their applicable 3.1 questlines. As it stands right now, the difficulty in just getting the dungeon portions completed (nerf, or no) is what's keeping me from working on the others.
