Alliance Raid Now iLvl Locked, Why??

[Toutatis]

But adding MSQ progress is not only something they've never done, but it does bypass the ilvl requirement completely. That in essence is removing it. The game shouldn't be catering to the maxed in HW/Stb/etc. exceptions. There is already a viable solution (actually using 90 gear at 90? lmao), and those players are already locking themselves out of content that is technically available at their level.

no, not at all. It doesn’t bypass the requirement since the players can’t unlock the content anyway and the gear would be synched down. Also, what part of iLvl paired with MSQ progress didn’t you get? As explained overleveling isn’t an exception now, definitely not on preferred worlds. There is no point in getting lvl 90 gear when one can’t even access lvl 90 content.

I never said they are playing the MB or crafting? I said they were doing roulettes (which give gil :P). Also purchasing unlocks literally gives you gil and level equivalent gear. You have to be trolling at this point

Atm gils to buy lvl 90 gear are not that big of an issue but it will become one. You also spend when you level up and you may want things that are better than gear that is useless other than to enter a roulette. The gil you get when buying a boost is not nearly enough to buy a new expansion crafted gear unless like now we are at the end of an expansion. Already explained that when Dawntrail comes out that gear will remain expensive for a while. 1st raid is usually released in x.1 when the first crafted gear is still quite expensive.

New Alliance raids launch on the x.1 patch at which point the crafted gear drops in price heavily. There is not going to be a level 100 requirement until there's a new Alliance raid at level 100. Even then, the free gear from being 99/100 should cover 99% of the requirement like it does with this one.

Same answer as above on the price of the crafted gear. It will still be expensive in 7.1. There will be only one set of crafted gear at that point. The free gear is useless if you can’t get to it…
