Why not make event armor and weapons scale with your level?

[BoomerOU]

If it scaled but was below par for level: nobody uses past initial level range.

If it scaled on par/above par with level: I get a level 13 item that I don't replace for 32 levels - or 37 for weapons.

Both would be poor MMO design. Granted with fate spams you can already do the same with lower level gear, but that's a different type of poor MMO design.

nvm didn't read >_>

I just hope they'll not put silly restrictions on vanity slots, like "non-event weapons onry".

[Seig345]

By the time they'd developed, tested, polished, and released the scaling thing, we'd have likely had vanity slots for a couple months.

They could make just these items upgreadable, just like in ff 13. For post 50 ilvl make mats drop from instances.

Gear should only scale down, not up.
Or you would see people in swimsuits doing coil. Why get ilevel 90 gear if a ilevel 1 gear scaled up do the same job?

[KrenianKandos]

That single change would really harm Crafting more than it already does.

I mean, why bother craft when you shove event gear from 1-50 and completely negate the need of gear that an Armorer or Weaponsmith does?

Especially with how easy it is to get said even items?

Nay, I say. Nay.

They made this cool gear/weapons that have stats that will work with every class, but it's only useful for a couple levels at most. It would be cool if they made it scale with your level until 45 when you get your class gear. With the vanity system not being ready (and maybe months and months away), this cool looking event gear and weapons are a complete waste. Playing dress up in an MMO can be entertaining, but only when you can also kick some monster arse at the same time.

But if its not level 13 you wont get that is has to do with FF13, remember Squenix thinks were all dumb.

Usually how it works with this type of gear is this way.... After the level cap is taken off once... or i'd say even a second time.. then that gear is released. But only for it to go from level 1 ~ 50 (aka the initial level cap). After it hits that level it stops, and you have to level the rest of the way without it.
