And in 1.20b we'll have...

I think you misunderstood.

When the ifrit weapons were first previewed, I made the same comment I did here. That is, Why this early?

There is nothing wrong with the weapons themselves, but if this is how gaudy stuff looks at lvl 50, what will things look like at level 70, 90, or 100? MMOs need a proper path for growth in the design of weapons as well as power. The Ifrit weapons and now the crowns seemed to shortcut this.

Its more how and when they are added that causes me alarm.

Honestly, now they are more trinkets for people that don't do materia and what not since you can make weapons that are better. And for the gobbue mounts.. I'm sure this is one of the things they are rewarding us with for staying to pay and play.

It's more about them being there to say "Hey I've dont this" not "Hey I'm so much more powerful than you are".

And quit moving so far into the future. We haven't even had our first raise to cap yet... give it time.

I'm a big-picture thinker and a designer as well~
