The slight chance to loose Rare gear is the GOD DAMN POINT of the system. it adds longevity to existing conent. Don't want to risk your shit? Don't try and force-feed your Verdant Horra 5 materia then. This is such a knee jerk reaction from the Min/Maxers who are afraid that it will take alot of effort to hit the cieling again.

Sounds like people who cried in XI when they got all the materials for the Scorpion harness and it exploded in their faces Claw and all. Wether you know it or not you need some actually punishing but rewarding content, the game needs something that is going to suck up elitists time.

People make it sound like they have better things to do with their time once they have hit 50....
Ill be right up there with the hardcores that spend their resources and time to get the best gear available. However, trying to make out lady luck as content is retarded at best. Instead of bang your head in the wall mechanics as a form of progression, how about some real content instead?

PS: You can't really compare FFXI's crafting to this. You risk failing 5 times over what you would ever risk in FFXI.
