good luck to all players without 50 dow, craft, and 10 mil gil.

1.19; godspeed.

Tell me about it, it seems that we get HUGE penalties from gear even a few lvl above you *1-2-3* and I just bought new gear a few days ago....

Also, I'm trapped in Ul'dah Merchant Wards and can't even log out o.o

I think, I'll stop playing till patch 1.20 -_-

Patch 1.19, also known as: "When the Crafters strikes back".

You got quite a good point here, my friend. I remember how hard was when I began playing GLA, nobody was selling low lvl shields on the only ones were like 79k or hundreds of gil. Much later when I lvl my craft to mids 20, I made a killing sellin low lvl shields between 7k and 10k, they were selling like pancakes and a lot of newbies were happy with their new gear.

I just hope that the crafter community comes to their senses and help everybody else to get their new gear. Or else we're gonna have the wards full of new gear with prices around the millions. And no, and not kidding about this.

its easier to level now fight weak stuff and and get xp bonus's and there a ton of mobs around now.
anytime something is new your gonna pay more until it spams the markets then you cant make money off it, i give it 2 weeks.

This is an absolute LIE at lower levels. Maybe at high levels its easier, but newer players just got shafted HARD by this patch.

Personally I think that, while it'll be hard for a little while, this was ultimately needed. The old gear needed to be phased out/heavily changed because stats are changing, and stricter level range restrictions were needed in order to help stabilize the crafting market.

It's gonna be rough for a week or so, much like it was at original launch when you couldn't even find a shield to save your life, but it'll equalize.

this could easilly have been accomplished by upgrading the current items and at least giving a fair warning before this drastic change to gear happened. this has done nothing but make it near impossible for new players to play, A HUGE MISTAKE on SE.
