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

No A12S gear equipped, no achievement history shown...have you even cleared A12S OP?

Maybe tackle the real content before crying that you can't get welfare gear easy.

Sorry, you may need to do a better search http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...cter/14967415/

FFXIV is catered to casual and fair weather players.

One more reason not to put these weapons at i280.

[Hyrist]

I get what you're saying there, but the fact is, the Diadem weapon completely breaks the formula.

You're assuming you know the formula, and upon which the weapons should be valued. That's the problem. You are not in the developer's position to make that call, therefore you're making a very highly subjective opinion based soley on a narrow viewpoint.

What you are asserting is that Stats are the only determining value of an item. And this is patently false. Weapons signify accomplishments through more than just their statistical means, which EXPIRE every time there is an ilevel jump. However, each item among this chain and beyond it has features that are additional to this base value.

There is a reason why it's said that "Glamour is the true endgame." Because essentially it is. Anima weapons have a reduced statistical lifespan due to when its final form is implemented - but in trade, it has some of the highest glamour work in the game - including partial effects. Same for Alexander and its unique look and moving parts.

Coven weapons are absent of these factors, and have absolutely no lasting value past the expiration point of ilvl 280 stats - which will, to put this to point, expire before you complete Stormblood's storyline.

A quested item, or dungeon item, you will get, during Stormblood's in-game will beat out your Alexander Weapon, your Anima, and this Coven Weapon. But the difference is, you won't be transferring your glamour from the last of these three to over to this quested weapon.

As I said before, those who are legitimately upset by this need to reassess their perspectives. All this is, is enticement for players to play Diadem. The stats gained by these weapons, this late into the game, is irrelevant in the long term, and minor impact in the short term.

Lol what a petty reason to quit a game for...

[xbahax92]

Its easy to make fun of others right? I know that the decision of the OP might be fast and not thoughtful, everyone can decide on his own when to quit a game. But please can you stop adding your two cents with your unnecessary comments? Sometimes I wonder who the real toxic people are when reading some posts. Disgusting

Bye Felicia.

If I had known the anima would only be BiS for nine days, I would never have started one. As a result I look at all the hours I put into grinding, hours I could have spent doing fun things with friends and/or family, as wasted? And for what reason? They knew the new Diadem was still garbage and needed some pretty big bait to get anyone to even step foot in it. Yeah, to me being duped out of all that time is reason enough to unsub.

[Alistaire]

It won't. This isn't '90s era MMOs where that was a norm.

Lol what a petty reason to quit a game for...

Again, back to the point where this was literally advertised as being a taste of what's to come in stormblood.

[ChaoticCookie]

is this a joke

Again, back to the point where this was literally advertised as being a taste of what's to come in stormblood.

More of a taste of what Eureka, and how it will work in relation to the 4.0 version of the relic.
