So, all the hardwork and time you put into getting that gear: farming the mats to get the hq version, farming for hours to buy the materia you wanted to attach to it, and trying to get it attached, finally was all for NOTHING. Exactly why I want some sort of "compromise" w/ U/U gear, to offset some of this stupid crap. It's bad enough that most craftable gear is better than all the dropped gear (Faction Drops, Ifrit Wpns, Raid Gear, etc.). Now, to make things worse, HQ gear is going to become obselete, almost, b/c it's not worth the risk to push for forbidden materia.
