The thing is it depends on your motivation for raiding I simply will raid just to prove to myself that I'm skilled enough to do the content the gear isn't any incentive to me at all its a plus. But not why I do the content bis doesn't really hold any weight to me as long as it isnt trash gear. Because bis doesn't even matter in raids itself because if you cleared it before you got the gear from the raid then it obviously wasnt something you needed to beat the content, and everything else doesnt even require such gear. Like for instance if I had all shire 270 now and I get some drops for a tank Im not even gona click need on it more than likely because I dont need it. And whats going on now isnt the norm Its a ton of rng with raiding just as bad as mount drops same reason that once I got the peaguas from diadum the 280 weapon wasnt even a thought in my mind at all and havent been back sense.
Tomes gear is straight forward no rng involved you get your tomes from doing your content and you reap the rewards for it , I mean if its a crime to not be a fan of rng then I guess Im guilty of that because knowing that its a below 50 percent chance of gettin something then I will likely find other means. So raiding to me doesnt mean gear it means testing my skills, I dont have to farm it once I have cleared it when I have a much more straight forward way of obtaining 100 percent gear. And I am 100 percent fine with where my jobs are at now my bard ilvl is 238 which is my lowest atm and will be 260 by stormblood my issue is I have never played the game in a way that I had to prioritize one job and many other players haven't either.
The Ops post is asking for this in stormblood not talking about the current system even tho people keep referring to it. Like I said I play different jobs based on the content not because I am stuck on having a main if I can heal something better than I can tank it then Id rather have the option to change if need be I dont want to be shoehorned and put into a corner. I started maybe a year after hw and have always had the option to have every job around the same ilvl: 50 all jobs could be 120, 60 all jobs could be 230 with lore gear and now all jobs can be above 230. I dont want to be put in a situation where I am gearing up my job with tomes gear and my other job I use just as much is stuck in vendor trash gear because of a 450 cap. So the difference is you speak of raid gear which is rng and tomes gear which is a straight shoot are players bad for just wanting something that is a 100 percent return on investment?
