Allied Seals Merchant: How does this make sense?

[Makado]

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.

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)

This makes no sense.

Neither does the idea of "let's make some items harder to get because I don't want everyone looking the same". It's not even the matter of whether or not the items are easy to get. If people want something, they'll get it. I already seen a lot of people wearing augmented gear for that glow effect, despite how difficult getting the materials are, so it's not really special.

Augmented gear is easy to get. All it costs is gil or you craft it. And of course if people want something they will get it. But for example, hunt gear costs a good amount of seals so you actually have to want to put in time for the pieces. Therefore there are less out there instead of having it be 20 seals each and then its trivial like almost every other thing in the game.

This is 100% vanity gear and who ever came up with it knows it.

Hunts also drop tomes and by the time you have the seals you have enough to get i100 tome gear, get sands instead and make it i110. i70 gear that is more expensive than i110 serves no purpose and one does not need to be a player to see that.
(yes, hardcore hunt junkies will face the problem of tome cap)

Maybe they wanted to troll the designer or just used some junk from the scrap box and claim that they added new content.



This is what really bugs me about ARR, so many missed chances. Why is there only 1, well with SCoB 2 (but that is not available to the masses), gear sets? There are so many stats and even more unused stats to play with.

Move some of the secondary stats into set bonus and do crit gear, speed gear, pvp gear, pve gear (in terms like it got some regeneration for example) and start using what is already there: stun resist, elementals etc.
They could give players more means to customize their gear with new materia for these unused stats (+heavy resist anyone *g*)

I really like the Vanity gear. I'm not wasting all my seals on sands. I'd rather just get my 110 in 2nd coil.

They should just make gear that's designed for vanity be level 1. But they don't because making it ilevel 70 makes it useful for alt jobs that just turned 50. That GC gear is meant to be rare, and I guess that's the only way they can achieve that.

Uh, if you have enough allied seals to buy 1 iLvl 70 GC item, you could buy an entire set of iLvl 90 gear. More than once.
