This is getting ridiculous. (Endwalker MSQ and post MSQ spoilers)

The level 88 crafted gear is neo ishgard. It's really funny because you can see neo ishgard on the market board, then look up 5-6 places and there's the identical set.

Ah. I haven't looked at it too closely. Then again, I never saw it on males and I'm male now.

What's started to annoy me is that gear is very much reused among the Jobs. Like NIN gear will just be BRD/MCH/DNC gear but with the tail coats from say PLD/DRK/WAR/GNB. It's very lazy and very noticeable. It's bad enough that we have two magic sets, one for caster dps and one for healers and they're basically just one's black and the others white.

Also another set that's pathetic is the ShB PvP set. We got one, ONE god damn set of armor through out the entire expansion and they couldn't even make different looking sets for the dps.

Well it's clear there some problem beyond simple run out of ideas,they can use modern clothes. Then they got lots of good ones from what players made in the past. One problem I see is them going out of they're way to make hear not to crazy. Thing is we don't see me gear set any where. Not much new in lvl be it crafted or dungeon drop ,not from events and not even cash shop. Like when was the last cash shop set? Last event that got a set?

I just hope something changes. I said this in shadowbringers though, and thought the increase of earnings would change things but we actually got less so far this expansion so…i don’t know. Hard to be hopeful when i just constantly see it getting worse and worse.

I do agree with you in all honesty. I've been saying to my FC friends that way too much of this expansion is copy pasted reused assets compared to previous ones. Half of the tome gear is literally just one of the dungeon sets recoloured for example. It is really strange in an expansion that released a whole 5 months later than the usual schedule to be seeing this when it was never really the case before.

If I remember right, wasn't Yoshida and a few of his crew pulled away to work on 16?

Perhaps that along with Covid didn't allow them to put the effort into nice things they wanted while also telling the story they wanted with all the extra cut scenes and whatnot.

So, it's been a thing for a very long time now where lots of dungeon gear gets reused in some way. Either dungeons reuse gear from other places or what have you. However, i had assumed with all the recent money making and player influx SE has had, we'd be seeing improvements on this, however it seems to have gotten beyond worse. The Tower of zot and Ktisis dungeons both reuse gear, but not only that, Ktisis reused gear and STILL didn't even make it dyable. Not only that either, but the 89 dungeon doesn't even give left side gear, only right side, which you could argue is because of the af gear but still, that's an entire gear set missing. I just finally did the two expert dungeons today and realized they also reused an entire music theme as the main theme for the place. Shouldn't we be seeing upgrades as each expansion goes on and not downgrades? The fact we're 4 expansions in and still don't have dyable dungeon gear is pretty appalling by itself but reusing it and not even making it dyable is beyond bad. Not to mention both the Sage and Reaper starter gear can't even be dyed, at least to my knowledge. Their level 70 and 80 af are the exact same and can't be dyed.

100% agreed. If they're going the reuse gear at least make it dyable.

The money to make the really lengthy MSQ had to come from somewhere. /s but not really.

[EverQuest]

Honestly don't see the problem. Game has basically Infinite glamor choices already.

It has some of the best story and music so far and we have a lot of patches to go.

You also have a new pvp thing, islands, housing an ultimate with new stuff likely. Raid tier gear and next tombstone stuff and new crafted sets coming it's really not Doom and gloom with all the choices already on game.

Your already hard pressed to even hold all the stuff anyways.

Man I feel like these forums people make a mountain out of a mole hill. Obviously it got made during a pandemic your going to have some faults.

We have some of the best towns here since ARR.

[Caurcas]

We get less, and that's okay! /s
