Gearing Systems need a revamp.

[Nezerius]

BiS means nothing because the developers have made it mean nothing with how quickly it is invalidated. Please re-read the post. I said i like to play the game at a high level. Push numbers to the absolute max on any job. Which includes BIS Gear. If it's confusing please give it another read. And not once in my post did i say, I needed BIS gear to get into savage. Re-read the post. Re-read the post. I've cleared the tier. In less than a month. I find the game extremely punishing to play for how I want to play. If i leave now. They aren't getting the 2 months of subscription that people say it takes to get bis on a character. Those points are mute.

It'd help to structure your post in such a way that makes it clear what you're trying to say, instead of jumping from "The progress is rewarding in itself" to "I want BiS on my alts" to "Books being invalidated too fast" to "Gear gets invalidated too fast" to "Let me get tomes faster because I want BiS faster" (that you wouldn't even be able to augment anyway, because you need coatings/twines/roborants).

Again the post never said. I NEED BIS BEFORE ENTERING SAVAGE. I DONT. . I've cleared the tier.

Exactly. You don't need BiS before entering Savage. Yet you're making it sound like the game is "punishing" you by making gearing "abysmally slow", despite the fact that you're clearly capable of clearing savage wearing a full crafted set. So what's stopping you from learning the fights on other roles using that?

Just make the crafted gear equal to the BIS gear. What is so hard to understand. Who cares if I achieve BIS too quickly. Again. Do you know how fast someone can gear a main character if they do split raids, and have set statics.

So you basically have no solution to make crafted gear not be completely pointless for most players.
I agree that something should be done about making BiS gear meaningful, but all of your solutions range from "Pointless" to "Might work with some adjustments".
