>level 5 Gladiator
>wears level 48 gear

And a lvl 48 gladiator wore lvl 5 gear because it took ages to level up a craft..and ages to level up all the secondary crafts you needed..and ages to get the 46 different ingredients you needed for a new set of equipment.

Darksteel Round Knife required a Darksteel Round Knife to make it... Gawd I needed that round knife back then ._.

Priests were healers, elementalists were DD mages, and archers didn't prance around in tights.

Checking retainers randomly was incredibly dumb, what were they thinking with 1.0? I guess they assumed people would use the proper wards, but even then..

Originally they didn't even have proper wards. That was quite possibly the worst idea ever.

No inventory sort! You want an organized inventory? Trade w/ your retainer and trade it back to determine the order of your inventory... I'll never get those hours back.
