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

Which is fine. But again: the gear progression options are there for you. You're choosing not to participate in them, so why should gear just be handed to you? You said you enjoy crafting; well, 4.4 will give you sets of i380 gear to make. And they can hopefully later be augmented to i390 green pieces like the i350 gear was this tier. But you will still need to do enough content to get tomes for the upgrade pieces.



i360 is more than enough for doing things like dungeons and even the extreme trials. If you aren't doing Savage, you don't need gear at the cap. But I question why you would want the gear if you aren't going to really put it to use - just based off of your "I don't like duties" comment. Running content occassionaly doesn't seem like it would be even worth putting in the effort for augmented crafted gear. But that's just my opinion.

Logically, I do not need better gear. At the same time, having the same armor rating for months has been a bit boring since I essentially have to play a long waiting game until I can progress my character again.
