Variance in player skill is hurting FFXIV's itemization design.

Typically you need the gear to be ready for the next Boss and Raid.

I wish that was the case for this game..but nope lol the raid gear is not required for any other fights..its mostly used to do your dailies or stand in town with. awesome >.>

^ And while I agree, making raid gear somewhat unique compare to tomestone gear or dungeon gear would make raid maybe more appealing as well? Dunno. They should make more raid tiers as well so we can gear up different with different bonus stats or whatever as well.

If raiders can clear raid, then they don't need the gear either.

If a person with ilvl 240 gear cant do more than 1k dps in primal fights or dungeons, they don't need the gear either. It's just status for them, might as well be glamour. Just proves even higher gear wont even save their soul for being bad right?

Also we all know there will mostlikely be some new crafter gear in next patch, so maybe 250 or something and raid will be 270? I dunno. Maybe 240 crafter gear then new cap is 260 at max. Then again crafter gear will be bis until they clear the content. Most raiders usually go for the gear that gives them most benefit than anything.

So again. I'm going to blame the playerbase but also the fact SE is being ''greedy'' on battle content. We all know, well most here knows that money from sub and mogstation goes to other projects, but why? Why not put more investments into this game and make it better. 2 years worth of same pattern of gear and raiding isn't going to make the game better. Yeah sure you have glamour and stuff, but how is that going to make the game better. More subs doesnt mean the game is better, just means more people like that this game is close to sim city or some sort of ''waifu simulator'' that some one act is is. Many FF games and I'm a true hardcore fan one, is ff games had amazing story on top of epic fights and battles. This game leans towards more dress up simulator than anything.

Before anyone gonna judge me because I'm a raider, I look at the way you play as ''casual''. I was more than happy you guys get more glamour and stuff, but how is the game going to be any game changer if they add more gear setups and things?`It wont hurt you, unless you gonna cry about they actually adding more content thats valid than you getting fancy stuff that everyone is going to wear the first 2-3 weeks then change to the next set of bandewagon glamour setup.

Wish people could actually see that this won't make the game any different, it will only make it more exiciting. Just because you get less 1 glamour, doesn't mean the game is less appealing to you, because if it is, then this game was never for you in the first place.
