SE, Please do somthing about the boring gear stats.. Please just read first...

[SonTensei]

The gear customization in this game is utterly pathetic.

No set bonus
No additional effects
nothing unique.

Yoshi P saying that people would shun those who dont have these gears is stupid;.

Make it so flipping rare that it would be impossible to expect someone to have it?

People have been quitting left and right recently, the story / leveling 1 job experience was fun, but after you get max level its pretty boring.

Cant wait for a new game to come out

Sorry i have read only the first post and i agree with it. Hope for change.

At current; the stats on the armor is dull and the design, on pictures it may looks good (due to angels and posses), but in game, it is dull. We're playing a fantasy game, while monster can enfeeble and spike, we can do neither. It's a fantasy game and not a medieval game with only sticks and steels.

Can't say I know what you're talking about, think I left XI before then due to RL matters, but when I referred to Excalibur, I was thinking more in line of NES Final Fantasy. Also, as a lot have posted, it doesn't need to be game changer. Reduce something to increase something.

In regards to CoD; the game is working as intended. i.e. Flamethrower shoots flame, grenade launcher shoots out grenade, rocket launcher shoots out rocket, etc.. Since it is base on reality, people accept it as that. Though I think even CoD has acid shooter that shoots out acid...

I want a 30% chance to do double Fell Cleave on my warrior, thx.

I think this game could use a system like an infinite tower or something. Something so hard that no one can pass it under current gear. Throw something at the masses to run their heads into and give Em something to shoot for other than just a high i level.

I would hope they go down an augmentation and set bonus route instead of having a lot of horizontal progression: main reason space.

People already complain about space as it is you want people to have multiple gear sets for certain fights? what about people who play every class? There just isn't enough space for multiple gear sets that are just side grades when the game promotes you to playing everything on one character.

Make set bonuses something you chose though and do side grade that way so you have a gear set and three different set bonuses you can choose to apply you aren't then adding more gear to store you are just changing the same gear in slightly different ways, dungeon sets should also give bonuses but not give a choice as its just temporary gear.

Agree with OP. Often MMORPGs have multiple gear sets to work towards for. One has better resistances while one has better dps etc... Here it feels always same, now i got these dungeon leg drops and they have + 2 mind/determination more than my old ones. WUHUUU!

I would like something along those lines too, even as people will look for bis. Maybe a way to turn our gear aetherial via soulbinding, to bring in certain boosts not found originally? Right now soulbinding has no purpose in gear that can't be converted, what if we could make new aetherial gear through that?
