It wasn't that long till almost every other person you met either had black belt, ridill, joy toy, kirin osode, ohat, okote, destrorys. etc.
Destroyer's? O Kotes? All those items are jokes. Not every person had a ridill or an E body. Very VERY few people has D ring.

This stuff stayed rare for what? Since RoTZ to went? E body came from Odin but it will still hard to get. They were all good until the level cap went up which took 8 years. That is what made FFXI worth playing. It didn't need to keep spoon feeding people content.

No matter what you did in XI there was always going to be someone on some server with a better set up.
