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

[Miste]

Just because a small part of A get put into B, does not turn B into A.

That's...not really the point I made. A problem can occur if B cannot accept A without breaking.

The design of fights will become unbalanced if you make the best gear of the tier easier to obtain and more available. So then that needs to be changed, then another thing needs to be changed because of that and on and on. It has a domino effect.

You seem to be under the impression that you can simply put A into B and the game design will just still work as is. Not likely.

It would break the structure of gear progression which then affects the fights themselves because they will lose depth/difficulty since you can simply get max item level immediately and removes the need to wait for more gear to progress easier, which then affect the longevity of the content, and so on and so on.
