AF Gear and alts

[Felis]

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

Before or after Darklight gear with the abysmal droprate came ingame? Where it was common to farm Cutters Cry and Aurun Vale 3 times each day for months and not even get the body for just 1 job?

[Miscreant]

I already have i170 on my Alt, I'm not bothered about gearing them up anymore until my main is finished as I don't need any extra gear to clear non raid content. If you get everything at once in this game, your going to run out of things to do, just enjoy having an objective.

Law gear meets the minimum ilevel for all current content and is unrestricted.
Gear that way, and you can play everything with all of your alts. Do people really gear up and play every job in all content? Is this thread just because you want to fashion show all the Job specific gear?



edit: I had Upgraded Law gear meets the minimum ilevel. It does not need to even be upgraded to get you in anywhere.

Ya'll need to slow down and think.

Gearing takes a long time, but it is also your primary goal at this point.

Would you rather accomplish this goal in a week and be done with it, or take a long time to do it, and have something to do for a while.

(also think which one is the better business practice.)

Could a system be added where it makes it more alt friendly? Yes.

You wouldn't be done with it in a week if it was how OP asked for it. And a lot of people wouldn't cap for ALL their classes every week, so it'd still take several months to finish every class.

Yup, which is why I asked for it in the way I did. I doubt people would even achieve the grind required to do them all easily. It will still take time.

I do think the prices for Eso gear needs cut in half. Not anything else though.

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

What your asking for would make every piece of content that is not named Neverreap or Fractal Continuum even more pointless than it already is. I vote no. The shortage of esoteric gear will encourage people to do Ex primals or alexander normal, and it should be that way. Maybe even Alexander savage (let's be honest tho, this is ffxiv and aint nobody got time fo dat!!!)

OP. It is because you have pets and families to look after.

Personally I wish we could be rid of this end game grind mouse wheel so we can go enjoy other parts of the freaking game. I can't even get the time to do the remaining detective quests and moogle deliveries without being forced into the "oh great, while I do this, I could be earning end game seals to keep up with the community." Do the developers even understand they don't need to put all this grind into end game? They could just as easily make end game have glamours or special dyes while leaving functional armor accessible to people without some kind of portable time space bending machine.

It's like we are all playing Final Fantasy Grind Quest thanks to Alexander + this new AF2 stuff.
