Please, for the love of all that is good in MMOs, put a weapon ilvl requirement on ex

[Raxiaz]

I've never seen anything less than i200 in any content, but I can understand how one could. When Soldiery was here, you only needed enough of it to get an i200 weapon. Now you need the Lore AND an item gained from trading an object from 6 runs of A8 (which nobody wants to run constantly, let's face it). Or you keep running PotD in hopes that you can get +30 on both arms and armor so you can trade it for a 235 weapon. It's more...annoying to get a 200+ weapon now. :/

It is not 6 runs of A8. It was 7 runs but it is NOW 4 runs and you can do them back-to-back unlike before.

When you can literally get a 230 weapon in an afternoon worth of work, there is no excuse for having i160 weapon in a i210 dungeon. No excuse. No reason for it. And SE needs to BAR that behavior from -ever- happening. It's uncanny.

I'm sorry your faceroll content isn't quite faceroll enough for you

Not the point. Dungeons shouldn't be taking upwards of 30+ minutes all because someone is too lazy to upgrade their weapon. And SE shouldn't allow this to even happen. When the weapon is the #1 determining factor in your damage output, it needs to be considered by SE to put restrictions in place like this. Are you really telling me you'd be OK with being paired with 2 DPS that have subpar weapons yet the rest of their gear is decked out? Are you really trying to insinuate this?

The NIN I was stuck with previously was doing around 600 dps. Full 230 , 160 weapon. Literally HALF of his DPS at this point in the game is missing because of his gimp i160 weapon. SE should maybe put a restriction on EX roulette, and even the 60 roulette, where you need to have a weapon of suitable ilvl before entering.

Sorry you didn't understand. (I know now why I don't come here - too many...)

They could just release weapons with the dungeons. Why not an ilv225 weapon dropping from the EX roulettes, to go with the equipment sets? It's green, not meldable and way behind the current tier weapons, so there's no reason not to add it.

I will gladly take this over the current system. It's baffling to me how anyone could walk into a dungeon with a weapon ilvl 50 lower than the dungeon's average requirement. Simply blasphemy, I tell you.
