Speed of Relics and New iLVL Gear Patches

[KeluBehemoth]

Remove weekly tome cap and increase reward/lower cost to that of current Eso and Law tomes.

Problem solved.

People argue that this will kill the game. It absolutely will not.

It will encourage raising and encourage levelling more than one class.

People are content with time gear because it\\'s almost as good as raid gear and it takes a long time to get.

Tome gear should ONLY be meant as a starter set to get you into raiding. It should NOT be a main set.

Keep the weekly lockouts on raids.

Lower the requirements for relics OR make them stay relevant longer through means of horizontal progression.

OR

keep the current system and add more ways of obtaining multiple pieces/sets of tome quality gear in a reasonable amount of time.

I haven\\'t raided in HW 1 because Alex is boring compared to Coil and primal a are more interesting now. 2. Because I\\'m gearing 3 jobs

Tbh im against alts as it breeds sucky players because they dont focus on mastering one job first, instead they become jack of all trade master of none and you really dont want them in your party.

The current relic system would have been TOTALLY acceptable and a reasonable goal had it been released along side heavensward

Also forgive that I'm not editing posts. Mobile version of forum has no edit option.

I really hope they change the way gear is obtained and the way gear is used.

As another poster said, there were multiple sets of gear in WoW and even the best sets weren't much better than the others. There were multiple raids that were relevant at a given time (people were still running Naxx and ICC normal when ICC heroic was released)

The problem with this game isn't even vertical progression. The problem is that the game retroactively nullifies all of its previous tiers every patch.

This is NOT how vertical progression is supposed to work.

Back in FF11 people wanted vertical progression. Because it meant having to clear one stage to get to another to get to another.

Lastly, back in ARR right at its release with Darklight... I saw it as something great.

I saw "here work a few weeks to unlock this decent gear so you can raid. Then after you beat the raid, you'll have better gear for being another raid!"

I mean there's no point in raiding even because even the raid gear becomes useless after the patch.

In other games, you clear raids... TO CLEAR MORE RAIDS.

Just waiting on them to add the materia fusion to the relic.

[MistyMew]

Would actually like them to slow the introduction of new gear down somewhat yup.

What's your opinion? Here's my 50 gil: I hate it.

RELIC
The Relic weapon hardly seems worth it if it's only the strongest weapon for maybe a month. The updates with new content and gear come way too fast and make the relic weapon obsolete until weeks later they add a new quest to bring the Relic up to the current max ilvl and then repeat the loop. It's holding me back knowing that soon a patch comes where I can buy, craft or farm a better weapon easier.

I don't know about you, but I do the relic for glamour. (And sometimes just the grinding process itself -- it gives me something to do.)
