@GalkaBikin: your Idea and impression on how things shoudl scale or get nerfed, does only work ina horizontal gear progression game. FFXIV is vertical progression constantly, so it wont work here at all, or your playerbase would dwindle faster then you can think. What you are discribing is how FFXI was, horizontal gear progression, everythign stayed relevant for long periods of time, no nerfs happend almost ever to game content. This worked in FFXI because gear almost never got outdated and still had some relevance a niche piece, macro in piece etc. This wont work in FFXIV just because it is a vertical progression based game and 2. because gearswaps dont happen in this game, not to mention 3. gear has its generic stats, there is no unique stat applied to gear at all (why would it, there is no gearswaping involved in this game).
