Allied Seals Merchant: How does this make sense?

[Edli]

The point is to make certain vanity gear take a while to acquire, thus adding value through rarity. It is not meant to wear as real gear.

But a piece of armor can be both useful and vanity. It doesn't have to be one or the other. They should have made it 95 or even 100.

They're much harder to get than myth and soldiery would still be relevant because of oil.

Another alternative would be to increase the seals cost by 500 a piece and make them Ilvl 110 , it would then give an alternative to weathered set and be high cost enough to cover the logs you would of had to buy to upgrade a 100

It doesn't make sense how many times this question is asked lol! It is vanity gear. You can only get that particular gear if you are a member of that specific GC and it can only be purchased via allied seals, so it is "special" in a sense. Old myth gear is just made easier to buy regardless of gear level.

Everyone has I90 gear. Its basically irrelevant. People also requested more vanity choices, and obviously this is vanity gear (the i70) which they made more seals for people to keep doing hunts. Its not like people are going to need 10000 sands or oils. When you have what you need they needed a reason to keep people doing them.

We know it's just vanity gear, is not like you opened our eyes with this comment.

The question is why are they just vanity. They would have served their glamour purpose just as well if they had useful stats. I mean here you have a whole lot of sets that designers and modelers spent time on which is useless.

The same exact problem the sets of the new HM dungeons have.

That's a good point. I always enjoyed the GC gear levelling up, and how they had synergies with eachother, granting bonuses. They could have easily recreated that for an alternative higher-level armour and weaponry using Sanction. Not sure why they only focused on vanity gear :/

Although there's still several unattainable GC ranks, so here's hoping a future update offers nice upgrades there.

Also I'm glad they cost a lot. I hope there is some even harder glamour gear to get in the future. Its annoying when everyone has the same look. Its nice when there are some longer or tougher choices that people who work for them get and those that dont, dont. Having everything available to everyone immediately gets old.

By that logic, all gear should be harder to obtain since we're all going to look the same anyway (looks at darklight, AF, Soldiery gear)

While they are just vanity, they can be used on alt jobs, or if people want to play with a "challenge" style with minimum item levels for fights they could be used for that as well.

This makes no sense.
