I280 weapons were a mistake

[ToasterMan]

The fact that SE had to put a i280 in there just to get people to consider doing it really just proves how good the content really is.

Just take a look at PoTD. It only offers 255 weapons, but........people still do Palace. Honestly, Diadem was a failure, It's fundamentally flawed. SE should've just let it rot.

Remember that one time I said this game only caters to casuals and has a tendency to punish you whenever you try and grind for anything and work hard for something in this game only to be disappointed? I'm happy you guys are finally feeling the result of this ridicilous formula where just because someone pays for sub they should have what you have with less effort. Skipping Soar or not the items are just us good. Meaning I don't have to do Zurvan ex I still have a better weapon.

I seen such people in full sets of Augmented scripture gear. Quitting over someone having a PoD weapon tells me he quitter is equally bad at the game as those you making fun of.

Oh, there are players with really good DPS still with a KinnNAH weapon? That red glow is there to warn you about possible low damage.

Kinna weapon was dead on day-one because Sophia already had i255 on 3.4 patch day, and raiders were already on i255, i260 or i270 Shire weapon because of the A10S/A11S drops.

I find it silly that they try to invalidate extreme primal content in the next small patches.

PotD gives out 2 unique models and is partially leveling content. This is not the same as giving out gear with random old models.

PoTD aren't unique models of weapons, they are just re-skinned Heavensward leveling dungeon weapons. Kinna is mostly from The Vault.

I think they will have these same problems with any new endgame content to get add. They can't give anything better than welfare/raid/relic gear since people will rage about it. If they add in something low enough to not make them mad, it's Dead on Arrival.

PotD works because it is easy leveling XP.

It's okay, these players still won't be able to skip soar with an i280 weapon.

I am ded omg

In an alternate reality: "What the hell, SE? Why are the Diadem weapons only i270? That's less than the relic! What is even the point of Diadem??"
In another alternate reality: "What the hell, SE? Why are Diadem weapons i275? That's the same as the relic! Now the relic is pointless!" / "That's the same as the relic! Diadem is pointless!"

In a real reality diadem wouldn't even have incredibly powerful weapons. SE just loves shitting on everything. I guess it is a lesson to not to relic in 4.0.

Considering the 280 weapon is rare as in RARE (wondrous tails plus competent 8x8 parties) to even obtain i really don't see the problem compared to alex and anima, people need to calm down.

It doesn't matter how good content is, in this game players have shown time and again that they will only run content that progresses their gear, even if that means farm spamming content until the point of burnout. The quality of content is irrelevant to far too many players so long as the shineys are better than the shineys they have already.
