While i have to agree with the op it somewhat useless to gear up so quick when 3 month later hey new gear. While in ffxi you play 6+years later and you still doing sky. But the issue with that was hey you still doing sky because it taking you 6years trying to get one item -.-

I think i'm more happy with new gear every few months i enjoy the new raids added and storyline. It's not all about the gear you know unless that all you care about then cya i guess.
