Okay, great. So why shouldn't those people (who come up with the money from whatever source) not be allowed to have top-level gear?

I think this is an Epeen issue. There's no reason why people shouldn't be able to afford top-level gear by whatever means.

To get back to the original topic,

The current content is great to replay - if you have jobs that aren't at 50 yet. I've had a lot of fun running Shposae and doing other lower-level stuff, with lower-level jobs. And the U/U gear you get at those levels is really good compared to a lot of the other stuff that's available. And people just don't slot materia into r25 stuff; why would you bother? You'll be r30 in a few days and wanting all new gear anyway.

What would REALLY make U/U stuff great, is set bonuses. No materia? Fine, but if I have every piece of Sentinel gear, I ought to have a big overall buff b/c of that.
