On the (hypoethehcial for now) removal of aetherial assessories

[Hypnauticon]

Ahem, with 5.3, The ARR dungeons up to Aurum Vale had a rather interesting chnage, the weapons and armor of the Aetherial quality (pink icon, randomized substats) were replaced with more standardized (and better looking) gear. Yet the accessories still remains.

I\\'d like to ask if they can be removed and replaced by new ones as I feel that not only is randomized stat gear an outdated concept,but also because I see a golden opportunity for accessory models locked to Gatherers/Crafters (Two-tone Leather earrings, Manasilver, etc) to be made available to every class, and at a low enough level to warrant storing in the glamour dresser (as certain accessories, such as the Nabaath ones are not universal) and possibly even recolor them for slightly more variety.

What do you think?

I realize this is an old post but I SO vehemently disagree with your assertion that it’s “outdated”.

Variation is nice. It makes the game less uniform. It gives variation, and in the smallest of terms adds a level of uniqueness to individuals.

I wish they’d bring these items back to newer dungeons. It’s BORING seeing everyone at the same level wearing the same equip, regardless of “Glamours”.

Bring back Aetherial items!

Well that's a flaming hot take. Randomized gear is and will continue to be a horrible time sink that does not reward players effort but instead leaves them asking what the point of it is. Some will get lucky and get it fast. So tell me, wheres the skill in that? If you enjoy this try legendary fishing. Maybe that's more up your alley.

After 20 years of monster hunter.. yea you come to despise the desire sensor

People like those pink accessories to farm low level materia while leveling alt jobs, to use in arr relics. If people want accessories for glam purposes, I feel like we should ask for some accessories made specifically to be Glams. Personally I'd like to see a couple modern pieces of jewelry that we can use to glam our current equipped accessories , and maybe they could use that "new tech" that they used for the titania crafted weps to add a little touch if bling to these accessories... And I'm sure there's plenty more ideas to go along with it. Ever since I first picked this game up I've always thought that having some nice looking, modern jewelry would be a nice touch (moreso now that we have more modern outfits)
