AF Gear and alts

[Natashio]

I'm not in a hurry, I'm a multi-classer...

The thing is the comments made by "these players" are mostly from people that only have played mmos that have you restricted to one class only. When presented with an mmo like the Final Fantasy's they can't seem to find the logic in having multiple jobs/classes geared up.

So to them if gearing up fast looks to be bad for the game and throw out those comments that if people gear up fast..then there's be nothing to do.. So I doubt that if tomes where restricted to classes, which I believe was thrown around on some threads years ago, will be a big cause for concern of people unsubbing.

Indeed. And as I said, it's not like you're prevented from doing anything due to not having Esoterics gear. My ability to play and my ability to acquire gear and do content I want to isn't severely hampered by this system. I'll get what I want eventually. It'll just be, for me, less fun in the long term for it because of the rather severe time limitations.

I apologize if I come across as kinda harsh on this in my original post. It's a bit of a sore spot heh.

Weell, currently you have Alexander Savage which gives you tokens and a chance for loot
You have the new tomes
You can also get ilvl 190 from alexander easy

There are lots of ways to gear up alts.
I agree a little bit with you about having multiple classes, but this is how the games been always.
Thats why I have 3 characters, so I can, when I have the time, gear them all up, instead of just one job

Yeah, I really need to stop being lazy and level my alt to get around the cap. I don't expect it to change anytime soon with regards to the gear acquisition because as you said it's how it's been, but I hope in the future they can continue to iterate on the system they created with Law. I really like the way the Law gear is laid out, and I'm happy to have that to work with in the meantime at the very least.

Why are you in such a hurry to gear up?

So we can multi task in Savage? You know in case someone's missing.

[Ultimatecalibur]

Can we scrap this system where we can only gear up one class for many months before gearing alts? Why cant the new tomes be 450 week for each class instead of 1? So say I reach the cap for my main, I can grind my alt/alts to get their caps.

If you want to gear up your alts do it through 5 weeks of Alex HM tokens and Ravana EX until 3.1 is released.

Yup, the armory system and the way they set up gearing your character in this game has contradicted itself since 2.0. Doesn't make sense to me either.

Only if you assume "can play all jobs" to be the same thing as "can play all jobs and have the same best gear for all of them at the same time". They're both very different things. Nothing has contracted itself unless you throw one into it.

It's not like buying a single piece of Esoterics gear locks you out of the other jobs until you finish. You can play all of your jobs whenever you want to: that's what the system is about. It isn't about being the best geared with everything in the space of a few weeks (that's how MMOs keep you going).

You have to make the decision about which jobs you want to focus on. You can either focus on a single one and pour all your time and resources into that or spread yourself out and gear up several at the same time.

I did. In 1.0. So...yeah.
