Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

Dodore doublet, Crap? since when?

Unfortunately this happens in every MMO, unless of course they eventually offer some kind of 'outfit' system.

WTF? One of FFXIV's best traits was the diversity of gear; both in colour and textures for every different tier. Should we really be throwing that aside so we can have a NM hunt?

Is it seriously such a big problem that you will wear the same gear as someone your level for a few days? In FFXI every freaking Paladin had a Koenig set sooner or later, who cares? No matter what they do there is going to be a certain item that is going to be the best in slot, so everyone will aim to get that. There is nothing you can do to avoid that.

Get over FFXI already. FFXI had the worst selection of gear of any MMO i've played. Well, in any case, it was really bad with everyone ending up wearing the exact same thing. I hate seeing the same thing happen to FFXIV what with Dodore Doublet and Buccaneers Shirt.

Not really :/

I hope so.

Once they redo the battle system, and the metagamers break down what's best for each class... what do you think people are going to use? You'll have an army of clones.

Who decided that exactly? I'm quite curious to see how many people will actually camp those nms to get all the drops. Most people will just kill em when they come across them, given the the low drop rate and the fact that the items aren't be all, end all.

Decided what? That the drops were good? I am just relaying what I heard. People expressed that the drops were better than crafted gear.

If they aren't amazing, then I see no problem with more diversity. But if they are amazing and with a short repop timer, then won't that hurt the economy? I already have like 50 million gil so what do I care? But for players who want to craft but can't sell anything, they might find that NM gear prevents them from that.

But that's why we have dyes right?

NM gear has no diversity of colour.

it is crappy gear that u will replace in a week by crafter gear also everything is untradeable so....
if anything that only looks good, but thats only because we have been staring at old gear for so long. so any new gear looks better lol

I highly doubt the best gear in the game is going to be crafted/dyeable. Just sayin...

ok, let's say overpriced.
perhaps it's a good combi craft piece, but the stats surely don't make it's price fair.
using a velveteen gown or linen coatee gives you the same results.
atleast i haven't had any big differences in crafting using either of those 3 bodys.

They're notorious for a reason.


Notorious for respawning and wiping your party while doing loot that is!

No, i mean who decided that we need an higher drop rate. Seems fine to me. They sure are much more rare than people make up to. 23 kills now, no drop.

So yeah, they're something to kill when you come across them, if you get the drop good, if you don't, move over.

They're a cool diversion, and that's it. The gear is cool, but it's not worth wasting several hours on considering how fast it can be outleveled.
You won't see everyone wearing the same things because of this, for sure.
