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

Only wasted if you perceive it to be wasted. Also, an i280 won't always be BiS. I'm done.

Of course it is perceived, because thats how progression in this game works. Let ask you, why do people play this game? Why do people play beyond the story, grinding relics, doing raids? There is no fixed endgame, but there is progression. An i275 for 6 months has represented endgame, a fixed goalpost that says "i have reached the end of progression, i have beaten the gear cycle", stormblood comes out in 3 months yes, but out of the blue Yoshi and the team decided to move the goalpost, right when people were about to reach it, and for some reason that's ok. It doesn't allow for more choice, it doesn't allow for Catchup, it simply "forces" the goalpost to involve diadem in a big way
