5.0 Rings

Raiding isn't the end all be all to the game tho.

my point was to weigh the pros and cons of the original question and think how it would affect people unlike yourself, who don't care about a 10 iLvl difference or tome gear in general.

If they just got rid of the 2nd ring slot you would need to rebalance the whole stat system cause you would loose a lot of stats from one ring..

Combine the two stats into one ring stat. No balance adjustments required.

this game needs more gear options not less. it would also give us reason to do more content.

EX primals hasn't been the same since Garuda/Titan/Ifrit EX dropped alternate max iLv accessories. that was better for the game.

but does it really? each job has 2-3 main sub stats to drive their role, i would think any more gear options would just start cluttering everyone's inventory and make certain pieces outdated at a faster rate then they currently are.

If they were to actually do this, I would much prefer that they just remove the "Unique" identifier allowing you to have any number of the item, rather than making two separate items.

This is very much an intentional design choice on SE's part. Much like how you can't get the best weapon without doing Savage or Relic, you can't have the best rings without doing Savage.

You can see from Crafting/Gathering gear that they are willing to remove the Unique status on endgame rings when it makes sense to do so.

If they don't care about tome gear then how would having 2 tome rings in the game affect them?

I saw Rings in the title and instantly wanted to see a spindash in the post. :c

The only "issue" is in your mind. And if a ring bothers you that much I don't know why having other pieces of gear with high ilvl but the wrong stats doesn't bother you nearly as much.

So it wouldn't bother you if SE made the change and allowed people to buy two of the same tome ring, or if it did that's just something in your mind and it doesn't really matter if it bothers you or not.

I'd be ok with that.

Well this shows how much you know about raiding. A lot of best in slot gear for raiding is tome gear. So yea raiders do care about tome gear.
