No names :

Person - "Not much, just haven't played this game long"
Me - "Oh alright, but you've grinded like crazy i'll bet!"
Person - "Nope, bought the game this week, hit level 50 and did hunts for a couple hours. Ilvl 90 now!"
Me - "-facepalm-"

Welcome to the new generation of player, where everything is handed to you, you don't need to work much for that shiny stuff. I see the extremes as a skill gate now more than anything. If a player can get through them, AFTER gearing up quickly like this, THAT's the person I want to run stuff with. Develop the skill, don't make the fights easier.
I tend to agree to this. Now you can take 3 months off the game, going back, in a few you get on par with others - gear-wise until you tackle the Coils.

At the same time, for a new player that is excited about the game, it would be bad to give the advantage to older players that spent their souls grinding, playing, trying to master their skills from their job and dodge skills from 'the LAG' lol

So yeah, I admit content is getting burned in a 3-months timeframe pretty much, and that's.. too fast for me.

Guess we'll have some that are pleased with it.

Can't have it all they say.

Soon, Allied will give iLvl110 gear, so please look forward to it!

Develop the skill, don't make the fights easier.
