So call me crazy, but I've noticed with this patch that despite the fact we can now get 220 armor much more easily due to a lack of lock out, people are still stuck with 210 ESO weapons unless they mastered Sephirot EX, who has now been rendered redundant by the coming of Nidhogg EX and probably takes just as much effort to defeat as Nidhogg EX.

Is there some reason that weapon level for everyday players is stuck at 210 for multiple patches? Yes, we can get the 230 weapon from gears, but the gears are still on lock out as well, so if someone is trying to gear multiple roles for end game it's basically impossible to do so before next patch hits since it would take at minimum 20 weeks to get both, and they are necessary for damage dealers to help ease the difficulty of the end game fights.
