I guess it's time

Quick question for the person who said they want their weapons and equipment to remain relevant "longer than one month before being replaced by a tome weapon." So if Alexander Midas 4 Savage was cleared on March 10th, and it drops an i240 weapon, and it is now July..... Did the max ilvl change and I'm completely oblivious to it??? Oh wait, it didn't. Which would mean *gasp* that people have had a weapon that's lasted them for three months so far! And if the next weapon ilvl increase is, say, 3.4, would that mean that the effective longevity of these items is actually relevant? How long do you really want to use the same sword. Really. Honestly.

I'll sum up what I've seen about weapons so far in this thread:

Lore: Too much Grinding!

Midan: Too much Work!

Anima: Too much Grinding, too much Work!

So the effective solution that the majority has been clamouring for here is to add Notorious Monsters from FFXI, and make them drop an RNG based weapon. Which is just more grinding or more work. At worst, you'd have people camping it and creating a toxic environment like they did in XI. At best, everyone gets credit and the new endgame is standing around in the woods until X monster pops and killing it. What a diverse endgame content solution you have, pure genius. These ideas suck.
