I280 weapons were a mistake

[Masekase_Hurricane]

People that have already gotten the 270/275 Anima can get the 280 weapon and glam it to look like the anima they worked so hard to get. Plus they probably get to skip a step in Stormblood's relic questline.

It's ok saying that. But how do you know that in 2/3 weeks or lol 9 days they wont just out date the 280. It's ok to say you are fine with this, but in the bigger picture this could be the worst thing to agree with. I am not annoyed about the gear being outdated that should happen but the timescale is a p*** take.

It was just a bad idea and really doesn't seem to help anyone but, those whom believe they can defy math and percentages. Ha I hate math and in the end this doesn't really seem to be makin very many people happy at all because it just does nothing for anyone at the end of the day. Hec Id rather them have just the 265 gear and thats all than creating an illusion of a dream that you actually have a shot at beating out 71 other people.

Are you just quoting me to say what you feel like saying? You said it benefited no one. I was attempting to correct that. Your replies have been irrelevant to mine.

Then say that next time. And it's certainly not a loss if none of us ever see the weapon drop in our inventory - It's not always about the destination. I'm not delusional about the drop rate.

So, who should get the most powerful weapons in the game? Should it be the most skilled players (raid weapon)? Should it be the ones that put the most effort in (anima)? Or should it be the Anointed Children of RNGesus, fired into crowds by SE employees with T-Shirt launchers? Apparently SE thinks it should be the third. And here I am, silly me, thinking skill and effort should actually matter.

Not me. I unsubbed. Vote with your wallet. If I wanted to have a very good weapon, I would have gone with Warring Triad EX and Script weapons. Instead, I put my blood, sweat and tears into an anima for a full year expecting it to be the best at the end. And it was...for a whopping nine days before we got blindsided by this. Sorry, SE. Slapping raiders and anima makers in the face just to get people in your terrible Diadem is inexcusable.

Putting a valuable weapon in diadem itself isn't that much of an issue, but there are some facts that do make this an issue:
- It's +3 WD for casters.. stat-wise it's more than a 5 ilvl gap. You could say there is a bug with the item level that's displayed on the item, and it actually being ilvl 285. It's not just BiS, it's A LOT better than any other weapon.
- It means that no matter how much effort you put in gearing up, you might NEVER get BiS before stormblood regardless of how much time you spend in the diadem.. getting BiS is for a lot of players a personal goal, which is now gated behind severe RNG instead of predictable grind or challenge. To add even more frustration, people that would farm for this weapon are likely to get it for a job they don't play.

A bit more subjective, but I think that this weapon adds more frustration than satisfaction to the game, and therefore I think it's a bad choice that it has been implemented like it is.

[Kallera]

The grand majority of people are not seeing bis anyway, hell, bis isn't anything that is appreciated even by the game's systems, because it gets replaced with the next patch.

Gear is not to be cherished, and the players insisted on it not being cherished. This is simply the wrong game now to see bis or "enjoy being the best" however the way people even do that sort of thing.
