Goodbye Myth

[Devils_Lawyer]

It's kinda odd this announcement doesn't talk how we'll be getting books and that gear henceforth?

Do they really expect every xiv player to keep tabs on the website patch mini-detail announcements?
How about introducing news this big in the game itself in some way!

Based on how they have done things in the past my guess is this:

Myth gear will drop in new dungeons.
Anything still in the game that required myth tomes will require sold tomes instead.
Sold drop ratio thru various dungeons/instances will be increased.

Or.... Myth gear can be gained Via hunts NPC considering it is on there unless they decide to change it and Sol will be increased a little then probably increased more later on.

I agree, maybe an ingame announcement through the mail system, or a small quest that mentions that Rowena has an announcement, and thus to go to talk to her?

although not well known there is a way to see news inside the game (if we eclude the log in part which has all the news there) if you go to the SAPPORT DESK you see a few tabs one of the tabs is NEWS-TOPICS on this tab you can see a more streamlined version of what is on the lodestone, but it is viewable in game all in all if you count the lodestone thats 3 major possibilities of people seeing it 1 its website 2 the log in screen and 3 in game, it should cover everyone in thorey

I would care if this actually meant less grinding for tomes.

When 2.0 gear first became obsolete...me and lots of my friends were saying how silly it is for gear to become obsolete so quickly. On these forums we were told that we are being ridiculous, and 6 months is ~PLENTY OF TIME~ for something to be relevant.

Well...you reap what you sow.

It's not about something being relevant, its just they keep raising the ilvl cap instead of keeping it the same, giving us our 1.0 stats back, and making the game have more depth.

It feels like the same thing over and over and over again, so boring. I said it then and I'll still say it: Gear is going obsolete way too fast. Cap the ilvl and give us plenty more options and more fights, instead of the same copy/paste patch. It is always 1 new instance, hard modes, a primal and either CT/Coil.

To be fair, Yoshida said that they decided this from the start and it will ~change~ for the expansion. Yeah well, I don't think they going to give us any horizontal progression but who knows...I am not resubbing until I see that, if ever.

The real question is: what the hell is Rowena's crew doing with all of these bazillions tomestones?
Are they building another Dalamud again or what?

I guess myth gear would be not a dungeon gear, because you can already get them with allied seals for cheap.

Investing all of this in Rowenas new house to make it more bigger ^^
Rowena started with a street shop during 1.0 (she alone, standing around in Ul'dahs street) and have now the biggest house in the game

I assume, since previous sources of mythology will now be sources of soldiery, that this is a measure to make it easier for new players/classes to obtain relevant endgame gear?

Well, when they removed philosophy tomes I think they didn't really bump up myth any, and kinda made it harder to get gear.
