I'm not even arguing from my own situation because I'm Rank 26 and don't have even half of the Direwolf gear. Yet I'm arguing in favor of the people who have the i100 gear because I think that they deserve a return for the investment of their time. That's the plain truth about this: people (including myself) who spent their time preparing for Frontlines in order to have a competitive advantage are getting screwed because the gear is now obsolete. Without the morale stat, all PvP gear is inferior to their PvE counterparts. End of story. If Morale is removed then it must be replaced with something that makes PvP gear competitive again. This is not entitlement. It's common sense that when you're presented with an opportunity to work in a video game, then you should have a reasonable expectation that your work will pay off.

I won't even bother with responding to the rest of your insults.

I understand the need for people to jump into a bg and roflstomp everyone with thier pvp weapons and gears, but the designers clearly didn't want that. They want Frontlines to be accessible to ALL.

ilvl 100 pvp isn't useless. It's currently pretty good for Wolf's Den and glamours and bragging rights.

With R40 and ilvl 100 pvp gear, you aren't preparing Frontlines. You're preparing for the future of pvp in FFXIV ARR.

So hold on your crazy amazing pvp gear. I'm pretty sure there will be more usage for pvp gear in the future.

Please look forward to it!

And yes, you seem to be portraying yourself as entitled. wtf

I've gotten slammed by enough high rank, high item level parties in my time. I just feel that if Morale is to be phased out of large scale encounters then there MUST be a replacement stat on the PvP gear that makes it useful in Frontlines (or maybe a set bonus?). Otherwise, a player like myself who hasn't even tried the new Coil Turns for lack of interest will be compelled to complete PvE content that I don't want to in order to play the PvP content that I do. At the moment that isn't a problem because Frontlines will be synced to 80, but in the future that will change.

I'll quote myself here to point out that I am not in favor of having a "roflstomping" kind of competitive advantage. I don't feel the need to go be a god on the battlefield and wag my e-peen in everyone's face. But when I began my grind through the Wolves' Den, I did it with the understanding that my work would pay off in gear much the same way that my trek through the Binding Coil would provide me with gear. If their intent was never to include PvP gear as a part of Frontlines, they simply should have been more up front about it and I frankly wouldn't have bothered with the Wolves' Den at all. Again, the issue here is that PvP gear has been unnecessarily and unceremoniously deprecated to the point that it is useless in what appears to be one of the major focal points of FFXIV's PvP.

Loled hard at having it to edit it from "rage intensifies" to butthurt intensifies. Whoa bro you are so cool, the pinnacle of badassery. Probably still rereading his post to come up with other ways to spit out his insults. And lol at all his posts. You REALLY are cool posting rustled jimmies memes as your responses. No like really, you are cool as fck. Gonna quote my favorite poster's post on these forums in response

"Are you that stupid? Super serious question: are you stupid?"

LMAO

Shake, don't even bother. He speaks of balance, but how is it balance when a certain gear will be completely missing a stat. HAVING 3 STATS VS 4 STATS IS BALANCE AMIRITE
