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

Where is my new savage gear since my old savage gear is invalidated now? Your argument has holes in it. Mythic raiders always have new mythic gear to chase down once their old gear has been trivialized. We don't have that fair exchange in this game.

Interesting point.
So your issue would be more about the awkward split patch release cadence? (Probably done to speed things up instead of waiting for everything to be ready at once)
Would it be better if the release of a new void ark wing were to coincide with the release of a new savage tier?

Oh boy, oh boy I could post another one.

Lunch time over, o/

Have fun.

making whole sections of the game only approachable for the top 1% is part of the problem here. The devs came to this conclusion when people just ignored even trying the content altogether.
Due to what happened at gordias, the devs need to tap into the crowd that hasn't, or has only limited success with, getting to and clearing the raid tier..

You can't have it both ways.
Either you want super hard exclusive content (then you have to live with recruiting difficulties, low participation etc) or you lower the difficulty so more people can participate but give up the "special status" along the way.

If raiders can clear raid, then they don't need the gear either.

Typically you need the gear to be ready for the next Boss and Raid.

I wish that was the case for this game..but nope lol the raid gear is not required for any other fights..its mostly used to do your dailies or stand in town with. awesome >.>

Hmm?
Won't you need 240s for the next (probably last) Alexander wing? That was what I was referring to.
