    Yoshi has made it quite clear he is try to make a game where a person can play anyway he likes in FF14.
    If I want to make an awesome weapon, I can.
    If I want to raid and take a monster's awesome weapon, I can.
    If I want to solo grind to get my gear, I can.
    If I want to join a group to grind/raid for gear, I can.
    and the list goes on.

    But, why should raiders be THE ONLY people entitled to good gear? Maybe someone just doesn't like that particular raid and doesn't find it to be fun. That makes him not worthy of nice gear? What if someone happens to enjoys the other aspects of the game that are not raiding more? Since they don't like raiding, they should never get nice gear?

    What about the DoL and DoH now?

    SE does not support botting and IT IS CHEATING. I know there are botters, but we cannot balance a game for cheating.
    Anyways, is it fair that crafted gear should always be worse than the 'raid' gear? That makes the crafter, which is its own CLASS, a little less worth while. Why shouldn't a craft be able to put hard work and effort into making wonderful weapons with materia. Heck, I'm leveling my goldsmith just so I can have the pride of making my own super weapon.

    Lastly, the current r45 'raid', the gear was made prior to the materia system and new crafting systems. How about we wait to see the new raids and new gear drops before we panic. Besides, all gear will be 'worthless' given a long enough time line.

    No. There is no point in raiding or dungeons anymore because the gear that drops is much worse than crafted gear, because crafted gear alone is as good as the dungeon gear even without Materia. Now If you add Materia its on a completely new level and the items can't even be compared seriously.

    Materia should not give that huge stats as they do now, and the crafted gear shouldnt give that huge amount of stats either.

    The current dungeon/stronghold gear is still A LOT worse than crafted gear. And by a lot I mean the stats materia gives you (which is a lot).

    AND the raid gear is not sockable... why should new one be and the old one not? Vintage gear is sockable, so they didn't only add it to new gear, but to CRAFTED GEAR ONLY.

    Agreed. They need to do something to keep crafting popular so it doesn't become worthless like it was in XI after about two years unless you were looking for bragging rights.

    Either way, you guys are comparing gear that came out before the attribute adjustment. Wait til the next raid comes out to see what changes.
