1 Materia makes any crafted item better than any NM/Raid/Dungeon item. Why?

[Murugan]

No "etc", just Sentinel. Others (Sorcerer, Sipahi, etc) are R/E.

And btw, coffer or craft, if they can be sold there's not much difference. They still can be bought and everyone can have them, even who never does content.

So? XI was like that. Didn't bother me much as an endgame player, it certainly did not diminish the accomplishment of killing those mobs myself (in fact it made my shell rich so I never had to farm, craft, or much else I didn't want to).

Also Darkhold gear is not best in slot (lol most of it never was), but it is decent starter/filler gear for those at 50 who do not have very good materia/crafted gear in many slots. Maybe it could be made a little better now to compensate (it did get a boost, but not enough), but we all knew it wasn't going to be able to be slotted with materia well before the patch.

Every other MMO dev in the world is ROFLing at ff14 right now. This not only speaks volumes about their lack of common sense, it almost outright proves that they know nothing about designing a balanced mmo.

For gods sake add materia slots to dungeon gear and wake up.

they said they would look into it. but not for this patch. are u forgetting the game is not finished ???

Dungeon drops should be be awesome materia

I like it how it is. It allows crafters to stay competitive with raid gear and not allowing crafting to become obsolete. It also gives people some content with gathering, and converting Materia. The only thing I do not agree with is theirs no Seek Meld. You have to trade the crafter everything for them to meld the materia to the equipment

LOL, I suggest you save this post and keep putting it up under every screw up they make until the year 2020. This isn't a little misunderstanding this is a major screw up and unbelievable lack of common sense. Get real with this, linkshells are not going to spam dungeon content to farm materia.

Anyone that's played that "other" mmo knows that having crafted gear be equal or stronger than dungeon gear was phased out for a reason. They need to buck up and learn from others mistakes instead of thinking they know best when they prove time and time again that they don't. If they make the dungeons a REAL challenge instead of free loot then crafted gear will still be widely used.

The only remedy other than adding materia slots to dungeon gear I can see is maybe making dungeon bosses drop materials to craft the best gear in the game.

Also, don't try to remedy this by making dungeon gear melt down into stronger materia, makes the point of actually getting boss drops seem pointless, k guys lets run this 100 more times so I can go npc it and get materia!

i bow down to your expertise on what every1 will do. now we know that when it comes to the direction a MMO should be headed in. all we need is your sage like advice. i have a question for you old wise one "just how much money did you make off the last successful MMO you brought to market, i wonder if it was more than FF 11 made and is still making" take your trolling a** and got ruin some other forum :P

Make money for what? If you have a linkshell to run the dungeon content you shouldn't NEED to buy crafted gear. Hard bosses should drop a hefty amount of gil as well anyways. If you need extra cash for consumables or w/e then go do leves, or GASP sell some craftables to people that don't or can't do dungeons. I know this is a hard concept for you.

I know it's hard for you to not be a fanboy.

[ZDamned]

You missed his point entirely.... Have you created an mmo before and made more money than square did in 11 with it?

[Eekiki]

The solution would be to have dungeon gear (i.e. rare/ex) have a materia slot. I couldn't tell you why SE didn't do that.
