This x100. I quit after 2.2 launched and only came back in 2.3 to get ready for 2.4. I have an i90 SCH, BRD and WHM and i84+ DRG and WAR. But all of that is worthless for endgame and I don't have the time or patience to grind for the next 3 months to maybe get to i100 or 105 on a single job to do coil. Not to mention, all the PUG coil groups on my server mostly want experienced players which I am currently not.

I really wished we would get at least 2-3 patches of horizontal gear progression so I have the time to build up to BiS for a SINGLE one of my jobs. If not 2 so I have play with some effing variety instead of being locked to a single job despite having 5 or 6 at 50. Almost feels like having more than a single job at 50 is utterly worthless because I can't properly gear more than 1 for coil. Everything else can currently be done with i80 and some skill.
