High Level Dungeon Gear Is Redundant

Fistfighter's Jackcoat is pretty boss. What you want me to dye an archaeoskin jacket? Ew.

If you don't want the gear, trade it in to your Grand Company and use the seals you get to buy whatever Crafting item you want. This leaves the the gear to still be available for folks who want to obtain it for Glamour purposes.

The system is fine as it is. Want the gear? It's there to have. Crafting drops? They're there, too. Get gear you don't want? trade it in for seals, and use the seals to buy crafting drops. Pretty much everybody wins.

That gear is a useful stepping stone during desynth leveling. I certainly appreciated it when leveling LTW. I didn't run the dungeons just for the gear for desynth, but when I ran roulettes, having drops that gave me desynth experience was more rewarding to me than just getting materials would have been. Even now that I'm way past that point and don't get desynth exp, the ilvl 70+ dungeon drops can still give BC3s, which are still somewhat valuable. Dungeon drops from the level 51-59 dungeons can NOT desynth into BC3s (only BC2s), meaning, that darklight stuff is often more useful for desynthing than stuff 79 ilvls higher from much later dungeons.

tl;dr: There is no reason to remove content, and that content still serves a purpose.

"I don't like it so they have to go"

Why can't people just for a fraction of a second think, they might not be alone an mmo?

No, no, no. You know what's REALLY redundant? Un-dyeable dungeon drops.

What is this crap? Why? What is the point? You're just going to put in a dyeable version after we whine about wanting it, but in red this time, so why not just do it anyway the first time?

The Orthodox set from the Aery is the perfect example. The tank chest looks AMAZING... Except it's teal. A very ugly ass teal that doesn't match with anything else, because it's teal and looks terrible. But I mean, I'll enjoy waiting until 3.2 for it to be added with ridiculous craft requirements so crafters can kick me in the family jewels and take my wallet for more cosmetics (one's that I literally already own the model to), I guess.

Have fun to level up desynthese after ilv 70 without lv50 dungeon gears

Umm... Dungeon gear is actually the old Tome gear after the old tomes were faze out with every other set. Darklight (ilvl 70) was the original Philosophy Tome Gear (now obtainable in Lost City of Amdapor series of dungeons). Antiques (i90 class gear) were the original Mythology tome gear (now obotainable from tokens obtained in Snowcloak series of dungeons), ect. So Dungeon gear is essentially meant as glamor gear from the get go. It's always weaker than the tome gear you were grinding the dungeons for tomes for and usually released that stuff after better gear was in the game for a while.
