Rings

[Burningskull]

Would it be possible to make it so we can wear two of the same "Unique" rings? Like two Upgraded Ironworks rings or two Dreadwyrm Rings?

[Ceodore]

The whole point of the "Unique" status on those rings is specifically so that you CAN'T wear two, and are forced to find another kind of ring. Just a small part of the drive for getting both Ironworks and Dreadwyrm.

I thought the point of the Unique trait was to keep people from selling them on the mb. I hate Coils. Like to the point that I boycott them. So being able to get two Ironworks would be great as I'm currently using Upgraded and Regular Ironworks rings. That being said I'm sure some people prefer the stats on Dreadwyrm over the stats on Ironworks and if they put enough time into Coils I think they should be allowed to wear two Dreadwyrm rings.

The point of UNIQUE is so you can have only one. UNTRADEABLE means it can't be sold on MB. You CAN sell UNIQUE things on the MB, such as Icy/Diamond Tears and the like.
Realistically a UNIQUE(2) option wouldn't be bad, but as it stands right now the UNIQUE tag is all we have, and it DOES encourage mixing and matching. In fact, for a few jobs the BiS rings ARE NOT dreadwyrm, but are in fact either a second (non-augmented) ironworks, or a fully melded crafted ring.

Then you already have enought power to deal with everything you'll ever be faced with, you are capped unless you decide to head for coil.

wrong

Unique = can only have 1 in your armory chest / inventory
Untradeable = can't sell it in the MB

What could you possibly need another fully upgraded ring for if you aren't running coil?

Your 2nd i130 ring hates you. Like to the point that it boycotts you

Yeah, reasonable enough... Poetics and FCOB are totally at the same level, aimed just the same way at the entire playerbase... right.

Perhaps, and it's a good idea. I won't knock that, because it would make doing the coils for the first time that much easier. As it stands, "hard core" players are going to play "hard core" content whether serious incentive exists or not. And "casual" players will stick to "casual" content too, despite an incentive to run "hard core" content. But, there's another reason for the unique status too, specifically on gear like dreadwyrm. If someone could just need constantly on a piece of gear, they would just have multiple pieces of gear like the dreadwyrm rings. What's the point? No more benefit beyond just having two, right? It also makes them have to pass on gear they already have so that it can fall to others who might actually need it. Of course, this system could limit certain things to only being allowed to be had twice, and you can actually get around this system by storing your current ring on your retainer and then needing on it again. But the reasons for the system, despite it being restrictive, are there.

Never said they were. Just said that that was a reason for the unique status on them. That's not the only reason for the unique status either, but you can not deny that it is just one of the many reasons for running coils. I'm not saying it's fair to be restrictive of gear. Frankly, fair is all a matter of perspective. But you can not deny that they have their reasons. I have my reasons for not feeding my dogs chocolate and onions. They don't think it's fair, but I have my reasons.
