We can already get item level 90 gear from tomes. I think the sense of self worth and fun you get from running with a group of people you can call friends should trump any item that you get.

Unfortunately everything is "easy" now. Titan extreme -> easy. Turn 5 -> easy. Minfilia's mom -> easy. Everyone sucks and only those with 1337 gear is good. Everyone else is trash <_< People you run with are things you use to an end.

RNG to me, is something extra. A cherry on top of your Sunday. That rare moment when your pet does something special to make you laugh. A random lucky bonus in recognition for a job well done.

What is it now? Something I have to have? If I feel that way about this game, I'm taking a break from it. Because I'm obviously not having fun from doing the content anymore. And why else would I play a game?
