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

[Ransu]

At this rate we'll come to accept all future dungeon gear being reskins, tome gear being the only new designs,

This has literally been a thing since the early day's of MMO's where gear outside of end game was mostly recolors with end game being the more unique designs for raiders to wear and show off. I treat dungeon gear the same way I have treated it in every MMO for over a decade. Its gear that I will replace in 3 or 4 levels and care nothing about. On rare occasions there's a chest piece that looks cool, but I never end up keeping it and with the advent of glamours/outfitters/whatever system said MMO uses to replace the look of an outfit, having "unique" gear from leveling dungeons that will most likely get glamoured over from people that stick to specific looks seems like a waste of time and resources for the small number that would legitimately care.

But it’s not even just reskins. They can’t even make the gear dyable. We are in the 4th expansion and we are still getting reused gear that isn’t even role swapped/dyable. How much time and resources does that take? We literally lost a gear set this expansion at the very least that should warrant all the other dungeon gear being dyable but it isn’t. Also it isn’t just dungeon gear mind you. The crafted battle gear, crafter and gatherers gear is also heavily reused.

I agree. The lack of gear diversity was baffling this time around.

[Jirah]

Guess which gear set they recycled this time for crafted, it’s PVP yet again

Ya know, the content that had no weapon selection last expansion and had no selections in general in EW

[Jirah]

Wow give the devs a break, they have to deal with server congestion, getting patches out in time making and developing a content, keeping the game balanced while being in a tight budget, and your problem is reused assets?

Since ARR and HW we’ve gotten:

Less PvP gear
Less to zero optional dungeons
Less Side content like Deep dungeons
Less gear variety

So..what is the trade off here?

Exactly... if it were role swapped, sure, id be happy. But no lets bleed out pvp even more. Yes i realized it dyes differently but still.... how about a role swap? How bout... dunno the Sohm al gear? Or just "rotating" an existig set further... its sad.

Also Covid happened/happens, please understand.

Ocean Fishing, Ishgard Restoration (included several sets of unique glamour alone), Dalriada, Castrum Lacus Litore, Delubrum (normal & savage). If you want to argue neither of these have the same replay value then sure, but to imply these resources haven't been poured elsewhere is just plain ignorant.

Worst thing is, there are people who will defend this mediocrity exactly like that.

I get it, Covid and restriction for sure played a part in a lot of things, but the whole experience in EW (If you have some standards that is and just dont blind fangirl/boy over things) is just a big fat "MAH'
