FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[Req]

Amazing how they take a simple idea, and turn it into an overly complicated poor idea. Who settles for second best?

Thats kind of the whole point I think. No one will be settling for second best BUT if you are unlucky, you can still get good gear while still maintaining the motivation to continue doing the raids. Just look at all the people that do skirmish and run around with skirmish weapons. They are far from being the best but the content rewards you with the items fairly easily and it gives you motivation to keep going and improve your gear in other content.

(atleast I assume thats why people do skirmish I have only done it like twice for shits and giggles)

I also think that this is what they had in mind. A -30% stats of a Darklight piece is still better than most gears out there and you'd glad to wear it until you get the real one.
