Because we do have a half implemented crafting system. There are a lot of gaps. My example is DoLs 20-30. If it weren't for dated items I wouldn't have been able to gear my MNR/BTN.

This is not true at all, I have geared both my DoL's with new gear, sure its not leather stuff but there are cloth alternatives with pretty good stats on.

There aren't as many holes in gear as people seem to think you just have to look elsewhere, like in the case above not looking at dodoskin jerkin and collutes.

I suggest anyone to use the gear finder on FFXIV-DB, im sure you will see there are plenty of alternatives.

Well then, my statement is a testament to how crapy the ward system is. In spite of all my research -- which was difficult enough because of a lack of an official database -- I didn't know some of those items existed because people weren't selling them on the wards.

I'll agree with you on that one, most of the stuff I had to make myself

Personally, I wish they never did the over haul. But I'd rather have very few choices than have to scroll through our unsortable Market Wards trying to find a half decent piece that I can attach materia to.

Thats true I suppose, I just feel that gear and armour should be high up on their list of things to do, its a big part of why people play these games.

Ugh, really? I just want them to phase out the dated crap already. It's confusing as heck to have two generations of recipes coexisting.

I'm not sure why we lost so many options when it comes to the new equipment in the first place. I struggle to find a relevant item in the new system that corresponds with my class/lvl because they're so sparse. Just copy/paste the old designs or something. Some of my favorite dated gear (leather calot, anyone?) doesn't even exist in the new recipes.

Grr, just frustrating. Was hoping 1.20 would be the end of it.

[Betelgeuzah]

Dated recipes hurt nobody, wtf are you people smoking?

Maybe the itemization overhaul could have come later once they had 'more' recipes and items to implement. Hey, that can be applied to every goddamn change in this game every since 1.18. Maybe they should have waited until 2.0 to implement anything. But that would mean no patches? Another reason to BAAWWW.

I guess this is just another reason to shake my head and sigh.

There are couple other posts by the Rep but it's about the forum usage, some trolls putting unnecessary tags and how some people are bumping threads so it stays in the hot topics so nothing really game related stuff.

[Inaaca]

Alright, well, good to know. Appreciate the response, Reinheart.

[Inaaca]

Out of sheer curiosity, Reinheart, are they talking much about the special mount topic at all over on the jp side? I know it's a hot topic over here, so I was wondering what kind of reception it was getting over on that end.
