    It is all so ....useless

    For about a month I did Ravana EX until I got good at it and knew every mechanic while I wiped with groups that had no clue or were new. For about 2 months I did the grind to get the 10 totems to get my wep since the drops were not in my favor and not every run ended in completion. I finally got my PLD weps and started grinding again to get the bow. I finally gave up after about a total of 4 months investing (not all) some of my limited time because I like the way the weps look. I eventually try again and finally get my Hive Bow. So thrilling, such a satisfying moment.....and then.....the new freakin patch comes out and.........you can just BUY them from the MB....WTH was all the grind about? it just seems to all be for nothing since now every Tom Dick and Harry with a couple mil can simply buy or have a friend craft the same items that took MONTHS to obtain.....IT HONESTLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I was happy when the replicas came out but these are not even replicas they are the exact same weapons from Ravana extreme....what's the point!

    Do it with friends that aren't terrible at the game? I mean, if I had to do the same primal for 4 months to get a glamour I'd probably kill myself.

    For those weeks and months that others did not have them but you did, it gave you the edge. You earned those weeks and months of extra dps.

    ...

    Did you even bother checking the iLV as well as the stats of the new MB versions?

    They're i180, they're less effective than the actual non-glowing versions. They're literally there just for glamour.

    And if you got them for glamour, then all you're missing out on is a really average-looking orange glow, honestly I prefer the way the older Ravana weapons look, the glow just looks out of place for me.

    Baby, tell me, what's your motive?

    Congratulations, you've just realized you're playing a MMO and every single piece of gear will become obsolete more than 8 months after the release of its patch. Plus they've done the exact same thing for 2.x primals with garuda, ifrit, titan and mog weapons being craftable using ex-only materials. Leviathan and shiva were the only primals who didn't get crafted versions of their weapons.

    ...why the hell did it took you so long to get tokens from Ravana, literally the easiest EX-Primal in HW? The fight can be done in about 4-5 minutes, skipping all the (complicated) mechanics while just burning that giant bug. I'm sorry, but I just dont get how getting 10 tokens in 60 days feel like a huge grind for you, when you literally can get that many in 60 minutes...

    You, Sir, are doing something wrong

    Sad but true. Games always get easier to obtain anything, this game is just a bit faster at doing it than others. Its no different in say something like WoW where you used to have druids who hit cap in the current expansion go back and solo previous expansion dungeons/raids.

    But that's sophex. On ravana you actually needed people to know what they were doing, on sophex you just need to follow someone that knows what they're doing.

    Nah, she makes you do stuff - with the current ilvl Ravana is nothing but a dummy anymore... If you do his mechanics properly he might be harder than her, dont know, havent done that in ages because on my server we're doing farms killing him within 4 minutes for hakf a year now

    Well OP, I hate to break it to you but this is how everything is in this game. Gear and weapons become obsolete in every patch.
