We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Sigma-Astra]

I can't answer for her or anyone else but myself. But being someone who doesn't raid alot myself. I want the highest gear I can get cause I like doing more damage. I like bigger numbers, being stronger faster better. Even if all I'm doing is dungeons I STILL want to be the best I can be in any and all content. So that's why I want the higher numbers. D:

But, even in the basic Sigma stuff, you're still doing higher damage and numbers that the dungeon doesn't require you to necessaringly hit to be honest. I like big numbers too and doing high amounts of damage myself, it's part of my class. But, Swallow's Compass has an ilvl minimum of i330 and you're still overkilling (thank you FFX) stuff to smithireens in i350-i360 with simple Carb gear and tome gear, even more so if you're upgrading your mendacity gear.

Honestly, and I tell this to everyone who says "Oh, raiding is too hard or not for me", just try it, literally. If a really bad casual BLM raider can down the train and Chadarnook with a goofy static that is probably the most uncoordinated mess ever, then you can do it as well. Just try. Find some fun and good people and just try. You'll be surprised at yourself. I only raid for 2-3 hours once a week, that's it.

I would but I can't even find people to do rath with so my hopes for anything harder are dead. And as far as gear goes... I'm just used to getting gear and out leveling things in RPGS. I've always done it so doing it here is like me doing it in various other games. It's all about the numbers.
