what makes an MMO fell dead

[Atelier-Bagur]

I think part of the problem is being terrified of people being able to quickly get ENTRY LEVEL gear, which is just weird. Like the base tome gear - before you upgrade it - is 10 ilevels lower than the upgraded versions, which are equal (I think?) to the Savage versions. So why are we limited to 450 tomes per week which equates to roughly 1 piece of gear a week? What if you could buy a piece for 500 or 1000 Bicolor Gemstones? Considering how many FATEs that would be, this would hardly be game breaking.

To be honest, the weird part about that point with entry level gear is that we already have it.....with the current craftable gears that you can also further augment them, yet the raiders still act as if gearing other jobs for being able to do savage content is hard? Buddy, what you're actually complaining about here is not being able to obtain multiple BiS pieces for your roles and somehow acting as if its a requirement for raiding!?

Ok I get it, you DO need BiS for Ultimates and Criterion (I think?) and Im not trying to argue that they shouldnt ease up the loot lockout and acquirement for multiple pieces. But at the same time, I cant get behind of the common argument used for it is that its a required grind? Even though the relevancy for BiS is quite short compared to most games. Its all about being the top best in the current time that it somehow matters and to me thats just a sad mentality to have here imo. Especially since like I said, BiS's relevancy is often fleeting due to this game's consistent patch cycles so in perspective its almost pointless.
