FFXIV: Different and Unique

[Firon]

You what was awesome about the new expansion.SE: Hey all that gear and stuff we centerd around our 75 cap is about to be useless in a few months! Fuck you everyone who spent their hard time getting relic weapons cause they are gonna suck soon, but you can do another long ass quest to make them better again... that's exactly why i quit XI and never looked back a freaking 80 or 85 cap would have been just fine to make everything people worked for over the past years not seem useless.

Sounds like you couldn't AFK in Jeuno or Whitegate anymore.

1.) Relics were the best weapons in the game for nigh 8 years.

2.) Not Optimal =/= useless (or frankly even bad for that matter, it's not like they nerfed the stats on existing gear, those gearsets are still as good today as they ever were. There are simply better options now.)

3.) You don't give 2 sh!ts about everyone else's gear. The only reason you (or anyone) has a problem with better gear being introduced is because of the time YOU put into YOUR gear. If they nerfed everyone else's XXX Relic and buffed yours, you wouldn't give a single damn about anyone else and their time/effort.

4.) Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING (in the real world or the virtual) ever remains at the very top forever. Things change, better alternatives are created, people move on. The world doesn't stop for you just because you feel cheated that your 8 year old i-pod isn't as good as a brand new i-pod. The same thing applies to your relic gear, no one is entitled to every cent of what they paid back when theirs becomes outdated. If you don't like progress, I suggest you look into Catholicism.

Well said, couldn't agree more. I started playing in December of '03 and gave Abyssea a chance until I canceled my account in April. The game has lost the magic for me. If Abyssea had come a lot earlier in the game life I might have been more open to the change but after 8 years of operation that was a horrible business decision. They could have made a high level playground without raising the cap or only 5 more levels at max.
