CT is dead, please fix

[Anubis_Nephthys]

Of course they are dead. They are really old with near useless rewards.
If you REALLY want pre-55 gear, do some final coil

Well, sometimes you want the gear for the glamour, and sometimes you want to do CT to have done them just once.

It's not all about the stats, you know ^^;

i've had good luck queuing for each of the Crystal Tower raids recently; I've been running them for a friend who wants to gear up his first class by running 2.x content instead of buying the ilvl 115 generics.

On most of our runs we've had other new players and people have commented that they're seeing a lot of newer faces still running CT. Maybe it's just my datacenter (Aether, i think) but these dungeons are still fun and they're really good practice for newer players. Maybe it's been overstated how obsessed this community is with running only the bleeding-edge content cause there seem to be plenty of people in CT just looking for something fun to pass the time..

Glad to know people still do it, I queue as WHM all the time but give up after half an hour as I never know if people are actually doing it or not. Your friend sounds like a sucker for punishment! Just because even if he does do all that work, it will be obsolete by the time he levels up a few more! Maybe I'm bitter though, if you saw Scylla's gear from WoD for a male WHM you'd die laughing.

Male Roegadyn Scholar. That i100 robe from ST was the reason I used my first ever Fantasia! It... Was horrible to look at.

Today took too long almost 4 hours for I manage to enter in Labyrinth of the Ancients. Well, with patch 3.1 around, still is admirable to have people doing.

WOD doesn't drop weapons as does any of the ct dungeons.Either way you'd have to do coil or some other stuff if you ant glamor weapons.It's more effective to grind wod just for armor spots.

What? I never said anything about weapons O.o I said gear, as in... equippable items.

I like the idea of a daily for a random CT raid that would grant substantial XP + Poetics for level 50s (and Esoterics/Laws for 60) or a weekly for an item to upgrade esoterics.

Not so sure about using CT for Relics though, doesn't feel right to force players to spam dated content for a new/top tier weapon. Maybe its ok if they only need to do it once..

Honestly, I wouldn't mind revamped gear/content. XI has done it time and time again. They have always managed to make things stay relevant. Sure, it'd be silly if old content gave gear that was max: for example 210. But if they gave us revamped lv60 trials to these things to obtain the old sets of gear within our item level range like 200 or 205 I think that'd be way cooler than the current- what? 3 sets? Maybe it's just me but I want variety of choices. Even if it's recycled content, it'd be nice to have a mixture of content to do so I'm not burning myself out on a single group of 2 raids when there is so much content this game has. Yeah sure, you can glamour your weapon or armor but at the end of the day everyone is still wearing the same armor as each other.

Recycled content doesn't bother me, what bothers me is useless content that isn't even used or worth doing. Even when primals were a huge deal, at least we have three primals plus tons of other content! HW has ever limited trials, even with the addition of the new 205 weapon one. Bismarck isn't worth doing, there is no quest that even needs bismarck or ravana. At least in 2.0 they had 3 primals, and reasons to do those trials. They have all these cool weapons in the game no one uses, and just rots and maybe occasionally used for glamour. I don't understand why increasing difficulty of scaling it to the current content and giving it something worthwhile is a bad thing. It doesn't have to be max raid gear, but it is nice to have options and viable options.

Sorry Bismarck weapons were never a viable option, at least when 2.0 was out ifrit/garuda/titan weapons were considered upgrades because to get relic and a weapon that was considered "good" you actually had to do them, and progress in them. Here, you get 60, spam a few dungeons. Bam 180 weapon. They need to stop shoving silly "gear progression" down our throats when it's not even a progression when at 60, do a few hunts and you can be full 180 in a day or so and not do a single bit of "raid/duty" content they have for the "gear progression" pre-180.
