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

[Hamada]

The reason why I don't think this is the whole/real reason is because they actually did fix it... for SB. In SB all accessories are role-locked, as it should be. But for some reason they didn't change the old ARR and HW jewelry. That's why I call it laziness, an oversight, or simply forgotten. Because they could've changed it with the release of SB... but they didn't. It's a common trend they have honestly. It's rare they ever go back and fix old stuff. I don't know why(Looking at you ARR story)

If they fully understood the problems here, it would been all fixed for HW, but it has not, and the ilevel skipping is still an issue. They also have not addressed wearing wrong gear or put a gate of ANY KIND for dungeons you do to level up in, i/e 15-69. So no, they do not understand the situation and clearly out of touch. They only did the jewelry because they got tired of tanks being too hard to heal from wearing str jewelry, has nothing to do with knowing how often the player base outside of japan cheese out DF requirements.

Well, not understanding the issue at all is teeechnically an oversight :P. Oh and high-five for also seeing the clear issue with early leveling, players putting on the wrong gear, wrong melds, and that the devs don't seem to know that it's an issue that needs to be fixed.

I argued the same thing until I fell asleep.
