RIP Diadem again

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Why would hardcore players gear their off classes with anything but 250 crafted? I also am having trouble seeing any casual players managing to find groups for the retuned Diadem when it's inferior.

Because the sheer cost will be absurd. There just isn't really a point unless you occasionally raid on an off class. Besides, no content outside Savage and Sophia EX will require anything above ilvl 220. So... no real point to spending tons of gil.

As opposed to spending gil on what, glamor and minions? The only thing gil has any value for regarding building up your character is progression. Materials for food and potions, and crafted battle gear for until you acquire superior tomestone gear or raid gear. Like you said, non-extreme or savage content can be done with just about any hodgepodge gear. Gil has no purpose otherwise.
