Enchanting system is horrible in this game.

OP, go play Aion, get to endgame and enchant and socket your gear, then get back to me on this system they have here.

Oh gods... that was soooo horrible! You get 3 stones in a 4 slot piece of gear.... and then you go for that last stone and BAM!!!!! You lose all of those bastards ; ; I hated AION's enchanting system... oh the rage! THE RAGE! FFXIV:ARR's is so nice and safe! I like the Materia system, I'm sure we'll see more customization out of it the more gear sets we eventually get. But I understand the whole not being able to stack certain stats, it would be nice.... but it's not the way it works.

EDIT:
Here is a video of how bad it was/is in AION hahaha.... THE RAGE!

Dude kept spam socketing like a doofus. I never did that and never had a problem with socketing at all. Imo the Aion socketing/enchanting system is way better.

Sure you didn't

A problem like what they're talking about with it constantly failing? No I haven't. I've socketed multiple sets without ever failing once. And on the sets where I did fail it was maybe 4 times at best. Why? because I don't spam socket ._. Enchanting is when the issue comes in.

Some people in Aion had very very good RNG when it came to socketing and enchanting, then there were the rest of the player base, I knew this one girl in my legion that could socket six slot gear without fail most of the times, I failed 5 manastones on the first slot of my armor, that socketing and enchanting system is one of the main cause of aion's demise, its one of the few games I've seen where you can spend millions and end up worse off than you were.

So you want to start over from zero everytime your socketing fails and have to spend $25 real life money just to get things to socket properly? Because that's how it works now in Aion. Enough for people to rage quit the game and threaten law suits for violation of their own terms of service. No Thanks. You can keep it.

What? Never spent real life money on socketing in Aion and for people to rage over that, they need mental help lol. And it decreases by one when enchanting and like I said previously didn't have that much of a problem with socketing. But how the enchanting/socketing would improve your stats is/was nice. Here you just get a weapon...with boring stats and then that's it. /Yawn

Please. Manastone in aion was crit until 440 for pve, 800 for pvp then socket attack. Magic boost/accuracy for caster and magic boost/magic resist/block for cleric

Also there's no magic secret to improve enchanting/socketing other than spending a fortune in the cash shop or millions in game money to increase the chance by a few %. If you didn't have any trouble doing any of that at high lvl(i still call bullshit) you are insanely lucky and you're the first person i've ever heard who like Aion's socketing/enchanting system. The forum was and probably is still flooded with people complaining about this crap

[Faedden]

Snip

Why one earth would I lie? ._. Every time I would socket, I wouldn't keep spam socketing like everyone does and I would get all of my gear socket just fine. When I first started out and I would spam socket then yeah I would loose all my manastones why? because spam socketing is bad.

The enchantment system there is way better. You can socket all of one stat, there's no restrictions, plus there is socketing AND enchanting there. On ALL gear at ALL levels. I've seen way worse systems than Aion, I've played games where you couldn't enchant or socket +2 without buying another item, then if it failed you're entire weapon broke.
