Variance in player skill is hurting FFXIV's itemization design.

[RobbieH]

Ofc everything else seems mindless from our raiding Ivory towers. (excluding high end PvP, which is actually A LOT harder than raiding)

I like the PvP in this game now that you bring it up, however everytime they release a new mode it kills the previous ones, this has been happening since the very first content patch, and that's something they still they didn't realize, which is: everytime they release something they kill pretty much everything that exists.

This is a big flaw in design in my opinion, and to make things worse they removed the ilvl restriction that PvP gear had, they killed rank grinding, once again casuals are at it.

I just wish they would stop "casualising" everything because that's what's been happening, i'm seriously suffering from an huge burnout, sadly i can't take GW2 anymore either, same for Black Desert, Blade & Soul and others, this is the game i love and want to keep playing, but it's been very disappointing what they have been doing, i could write more flaws than the ones i wrote here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3749119

There's been very few design changes that were good since 2.0, i'm glad they introduced tokens to Savage, the first SIX weeks i didn't get anything out of A5S thank god i got the tokens for the damn belt, on top of that to get i230 Lore it would require 7 weeks, SEVEN, unless i got the item from Savage.

Two things i'll never understand about raids in this game and it's drops:

- Savage still locked on content, why only lift the restriction when new Savage tier comes? Pretty much nobody is going to bother with it because they will be busy with the new ilvl.
- 24 Man Raid gear is 10 ilvls bellow the cap, and has a weekly limit, can't be upgraded or dyed. What.

^For the 24 man raid they should just add the stats that are not a combination of what already exists in Lore and Savage, for example, let's say Savage chest is Crit+SS, and Lore is Acc+DET, there's still more possible combination of stats, why not make the 24 Man raid item i240 and the stats CRIT+DET for example?

Yes it would probably be bis, so what? It's still one per week. The next content update will make it obsolete, why make it i230, not dyable and not upgradeable? I don't get it.
