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

"Restrictions are fine and encourage gear orientated drive" This is exactly it Bongeh.

Everyone needs to accept that this is the way it is and is going to be. Every game does it. It's there for a valid reason. Maybe it will change in the future if they add level sync but at this point, it is the current design of the game. Just accept it and move on. It really does make sense, and is for the best.

I'm in favor of the new system of how optimal gear works, simply because it offers the benefits of required level restrictions such as market stimulation and gear oriented goals, as well as keeping the flexibility of wearing what you want for aesthetic purposes all the while knowing your taking a massive stat hit in doing so. I think required levels for gear should remain for higher tier weapons and class/job specific pieces while the new optimal system remains for generic pieces. Decent compromise, no? Why can't we just have both!?
