Expansions should be for "catch-up" - not update patches (solution proposed)

[Fevelle]

I only completed my Alexander normal set after 3.1, also only bought the esoteric weapon yesterday (because I was freaking tired of that Masakaki Kai and there are NO learning parties for anything on Exodus, so I can't get my Thordan weapon) and now I feel like I wasted all the Esos on something I won't use because relic drops december 16th.

For someone who plays only 2-hours a day, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to gear more than one class, and that's what I think SQEX should look up into. This game is supposed to be about changing jobs when you need, but you can't do that because lockouts and constant ilv changes don't let you gear all your alts in relevant gearsets.

Absolutely agree. You my friend are the average player I am talking about. Very much like myself. You begin to ask yourself, "what is the point of gearing up?" I feel like the average player is tied to an endless cycle of grinding less challenging content.
