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

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Apparently not since previous posters have pointed out that gear doesn't truly matter and the real worth of a player is skill. The reward for raiding could be as simple as getting a shiny new achievement checked off in the log and people would still do it. And it would a paradox if raiders needed the end raid reward to beat the raid. That raid gear is only in effect a participation ribbon, so it's purely superfluous.

And you've prattled on for several pages now lamenting how you can't have it. If it's little beyond a participation ribbon, why do you care so much that raiders have better gear then you do?
