Required Class/Rank failed - Can we have Optimal Rank and Favoured Class back?

Why not just wear the dated stuff if you liked it?

Not sure if troll.

Why not just wear the dated stuff? Um maybe because...

A) theyre all crap now
B) Cant be slotted with materia
C)All of the above and why make all new gear restrictive when that doesnt need to be the case?

The only person even bothering to form an argument is Aenarion, and his argument is that it's bad for the economy, but at the same time he recognises that an optimal system could be good for the economy too.

The optimal system is flexible, and with more information from the UI, it is self-explanatory which gear is bad and which is good. There's no need to place an artificial restriction ontop of the suggestive one, except for AF gear (at which point it becomes an issue oh job distinctiveness).

Why is it so hard for people to explain why something is bad/good?

Just saying "you shouldnt wear R50 gear at R1" or (my favourite) "not sure if troll" aren't exactly arguments. They're just statements about nothing.

All I ask is that you explain why you think something is good/bad so I at least have something to work with when I reply/correct you.
