Lackluster yellow strip gear

The fact that yellow scrips aren't gated weekly should be a big enough hint that this isn't going to be your 4.0 'bestest specialist' gear.

Basically this. It's no longer gated so don't expect it to be best of the best. If you think they should be, well, sucks to be you.

Level 70 crafted gear isn't gated either. By that logic your logic it shouldn't be the best atm either.

...And an entire set of L70 crafted can be acquired in a day, and fully melded if you're willing to throw enough money at it.

And it's not. Full melded crafted gear is currently better than yellow scrips so...

Good job on that one?

I'm wondering why you wouldn't at least meld the 2 free slots into the gear by deault. 70HQ is easy to make and with just the 2 free meld slots using V's, which are easy to obtain now, you outdo the yellow scrip gear.

So yeah good job I'm still correct. 70HQ is eaiser to craft, eaiser to obtain and even "factoring in materia" it's better without needing to overmeld.

And going by your previous post with the math you kindly did, the yellow scrip gear is far more time consuming and expensive to obtain for lower stats. Point still stands. Yellow scrip gear is not for casuals. It's under powered, overpriced and requires far more time/money to obtain. It needs to be reduced in cost if its' meant for casual crafters or stats boosted or stats removed if it's just glamour.
