What do we do now?

[Ecks007]

Dang I don't even.. ...What? Part of me wants to know how the OP has managed to play since 2013 and only have an i87-88 Monk job as your only level 50? I guess they unsubbed for a pretty good period of time or frequently. And you don't see a point to gearing up?

I remember seeing somewhere that it was mentioned that if you were fully geared in in i130 stuff that that gear would still be relevant and useful until you reached level 60 in the expansion as there wouldn't really be any better gear until level 60. I believe this is done so that the gear we have doesn't instantly become useless the moment we pick up a white piece of new expansion gear, as was often the case in World of Warcraft whenever an expansion dropped. That uber epic gear you had instantly became worthless in that game. I'm pretty sure Yoshi and team have taken that into account (considering Yoshida is a former WoW player himself) and they don't want that to happen here at least until the new level cap is reached. So that gear you'd be working towards right now (or already have, as most of us active players do) will still be great while you level up to the new level cap.

That's not even her main, don't always go by peoples characters on the forums.
If you click her profile it shows all her characters.

That's probably her main.

Either way, how's one to know that unless they actually know her/him. And also, whether you are geared or not or are still working on reaching i130 or your BiS combo (if that's your thing), that gear is still going to be relevant for leveling as I mentioned. Wish I could find the links but I'm not really feeling like putting in quite that much effort at the moment.

As for whether that's really her main or an alt, it doesn't matter. I don't link my alts personally because it seems silly, but w/e.
