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

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.

No, it's not a huge mistake lol. It's like a new launch, and there will be a series of these before this game is reborn. It was hard for players in the very beginning, and it is again because fundamentals have changed. Like I said, it will equalize.

Current players need to understand, with the extreme nature of the incoming changes, you're playing a glorified beta right now. And what you're playing today is a different game than yesterday. Give it more than a few hours to find it's feet.


And upgrading current gear presents it's own set of massive problems, mainly in that it damages the crafting community.

What would you of done? Crafted a new set before the patch?

We had a fair warning. Several in fact. The first was many months ago when a majority of the people who participated in the first player's poll agreed to support changes that would "drastically alter the rules" in Eorzea.

We had more fair warning several days before the patch.

And this doesn't do anything to new players. They won't be wearing any dated gear.

Itsnot that bad, wear stuff that fits your class and rank as u should anyway. Optimal was a bad idea. Money is too abundant pre 1.19. Theyre rightfully balancing stuff. Give it at least a week before bitching about this kind of stuff.
