That's why we can't have nice things with people who add tags like this.

Favoured class/optimal level is a legitimate thing to discuss. There are many situation where required level and class for certain items are more a pain and bothersome. I still believe required class and level should be reserved for rare items, items that truly bring you guys on another level of prestige. But a yellow linen shirt (for example), really? "Hey look, I'm finaly high level enough to wear my yellow linen shirt! Whoo!" ...not really prestigious is it? Those crafted items should be optimal level and favoured class, not required. Keep the required for the Iffrit loots or the dungeon loot or the NMs' loot. Items that truly mean something, not items crafted by crafters trying to level up.

P.S.: Yes, since the majority of items are crafted, that means the majority of items would be favoured class and optimal level, not required. Just do what a nice player should do, educate your fellow linkshell friends if they are always wearing things beyond their current reach. I, for one, don't want to be restricted because a few players feel like they don't need to read the Lodestone and the tutorials.

Keep required Class for weapons only.

And keep Required Rank for starter gear.

Hmm.

Required Class for gear and Required Level for gear works well though.

Much like the optimal rank system "failed", or else Square wouldn't have changed it, no?

Logical fallacy.

Just because they change something doesn't mean they had good reason to.

That's the whole premise of this thread; questioning their reason. Or lack thereof.

They don't have to give you a reason. It's pretty simple. "Drastic changes" mean just that.
