This is not meant to be a QQ, game is too hard thread, I promise. This is more of tongue in cheek.

I'm curious as to how many other players have resigned to the fact there are certain weapons or gear that they will simply never obtain for one reason or another.

For me, its the Relic weapons for MRD and PLD. I love the look of both weapons and even though I have both jobs to 50 I have come to accept that I'm not good at tanking and honestly don't really care for it. I sometimes switch over to these jobs if I'm bored and wanna run some quests with a different look. I only even leveled these jobs to 50 because I like the AF gear. Plus, I had a hard enough time beating Titan HM as a healer or DPS...lol (don't judge me!)
