Sorry Yoshi, but if you award the best weapon in the game by winning the lottery...

]If you didn't know that every single piece of your absolute strongest gear that you've spent weeks on end struggling to obtain will be outgeared by white gear given to you in a sidequest when Stormblood releases, then you know now.

PSA: You will die and everything you do in your life will be meaningless. Your memories will vanish, your bloodline will be diluted, your children die, your works erode and wither in time. One day, you'll be nothing more than the object of fancy for an archaeologist that marvels at how primitive you are. So please take good care of your bones and teeth while you still can - You will make someone happy down the line.

Very true. All of that. Take a thumbs up.

Seriously, what's with you and comparing everything in the game to the deep meaning of life ?

That being "Anything worth getting in this game requires different combinations of time, skill, and effort."

And the Diadem Weapon trumps absolutely everything when it comes to average time requirement.

Would you be motivated to raid Creator Savage if the rewards were i250?

Would you be motivated to takcle critical missions with 3 pick-up alliances if the rewards were lower to what you already have ?

Yes, but the issue here is even the raid weapons are outclassed by Diadem weapons.

Raid weapons are. Yet, all the other pieces from raids are better. So, if you want the perfect full set, you still need to raid.

Consider this as if raids would only drop some items, for example, armor, while weapon and maybe accessories could be dropped by something else...which you more diverse content to tackle instead of putting absolutely everything in only 4 instances. I don't understand how people could still defend that it's better to only have one thing to do over and over...

No, I'm not saying it's better. What happened is there's currently no other option to get i280 weapons but to enter the Diadem over and over and over and over again when they could have just turned it as an alternative way to get i270-275 weapons. Give those who already have i275 weapons an incentive to get it by making it look as unique as possible with glowy effects for glamour.
