Need to handle weapon tiers better at end game...

This issue won't go away until SE stops coddling the fragile egos of raiders who fancy themselves "pros" (Don't even try to argue this point. The posts here practically scream it out). The expense and time required for an i210 relic was absurd once Gobdip became available for farthings. At this point, the item requirement should really have been cut by half or more.

To those saying that people should just join raid groups, take a look at your average Party Finder comments and ask yourself if you're willing to put up with a 13-year-old with a Napoleon complex. Moreover, would you be willing to put up with potential verbal abuse if certain groups require voice chat?

I could say the same thing about yourself, why should they coddle to YOUR fragile ego at not having an easy powerful weapon. Why do YOU need it? clear Drex faster? do Primals? (oh wait, you don't)
I help people who are willing to help themselves but what you are saying is basically entitlement.

I wonder what people in this thread who support the "i210 is fine, you don't need higher" would say if they were to do a PF for Nidhogg Ex and half of the people joining their team were to have a i210 weapon, especially DPS and healers.

Many of us did do these primals early on with crappy weapons, put up with the badders, dealt with the toxicity. It can be done if one is determined.
Like I said, I really don't mind/care about a person's gear with regards to helping them along if they want to help themselves.
Plus, Sephirot has now been nerfed and echoed, a progression path still exists.
