You then take these rewards and you take on the next big challenge. Basically the Fantasy ofgrowing power. With BiS I'm sure you definitely feel that you earned it. You got your reward for sure but it's before that where I have a problem. EX Primals don't give you many of the pre-BiS rewards and I wouldn't find this to be a problem if the roulettes you namely get tomestones from were difficult or not even but engaging and I feel like I earned my tomestones. I personally don't feel like I earned my tomestones and I replied to somebody else about this above if you want to know more about what I think of the dungeons and roulette system.

I know I'm not the only one that feels this way and sarcastically call Tomestone gear welfare gear. A few older players, older then me, feel this way as well and while you don't and the newer players that are fueling the success of the game now don't there's a possibility where you may and they will eventually see these systems and wonder what's the point. Will it be 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 if the game makes it to that point (not saying it won't but you never know what will happen from here until then)?

I'm going to sit back an bit and see if somebody who shares my sentiments wants to chime in. I don't want to be the only one harping about this on the forums if I'm not.


TL,DR: My issue or motivation when it comes to engaging in these fights and so on isn't gear for gear's sake but fulfilling the fantasy of growing more powerful through that gear and earning it. While yes you earn your BiS through Omega Savage anything pre-BiS doesn't really have that feeling nowadays. Part of it is tomestones and another is the expert roulettte dungeons you engage in to earn those tomestones doesn't feel engaging and yet they give you access to gear that's better then what you get for EX Primals, which are engaging. Please read above for my thoughts on that.
