Why is allagan not the best?

[Lord_Zlatan]

snip.

agreed. In addition, it would offer players an option in style of play while not limiting them to only using "the best". If you are the type of player that wants to blow their load as fast as possible (draining TP for ex. with ridiculous Skill Speed), I am all in favor of people having a viable option that allows them to do so.

It's a mix and match system.

If you can hit 100% of the time with 461 ACC. Why do you need more ACC?

In all Titan HM content and earlier ACC cap is supper easy to hit. So why do I want gear with ACC if I can get gear with STR or DEX if I'm already hitting 100% of the time.

For now it is not but once 2.2 hits with Turn 6 and higher Allagan will be the best gear in the game if they don't release the 3rd tier tome gears due to the introduction to ilvl 95 armor set or higher in Turn 6 to ???.

Accuracy is really one of those things that needs to stop existing. Stats with hard caps don't do anything meaningful and just make upgrading a headache either through invalidating gear options or making several required to even be an upgrade. Making it scale with content makes it even more obnoxious because excess is entirely wasted on anything lower.

[Pinworms]

Because turn 6 will have Ilvl 95 items.

So the best gear in the game should be able to be soloed?

I'd actually argue that solo content could be the hardest content in the game since it can be tuned so tightly. (If they wanted to make solo content.) The more players involved, the more leeway you have to make for errors. For the competent individual, the only thing holding them back is the bad players who lag or can't perform roles correctly. Group content is a joke for the good players. Solo content would have to be tuned to them, and this would make 90% of the player base spend hours wiping on solo content. Devs don't like to beat their player base over the head with their own incompetence, so group content is the norm. I'm willing to bet most MMO players couldn't even beat the first boss in Demon's Souls.

No content is hard in FFXIV. None. This is an MMO where you press 3-4 buttons and dodge lights on the ground. 8 mans are group content. Not a "raid". The logistics involved are laughable. You should enjoy the cool looking gear showing you did something. Myth gear being the same only affects you positively.
