Ifirit, how it could have been done better.

So reading this few last posts, if the loot is the problem why dont we get a common mat and combined with other difficult mats you can make the weapon of your choice, i really dont like how the loot is atm at first with first NM's it was a lot more interesting system there, in order to get a drop you had to incapacitate the mob for a sure craft material, then you had to get a few more items mostly sold, others gotten in the same way like the dodore doublet, so at the end you would end up needing a crafter to get your armor or weapon, whats wrong with that?

I think those gears lasted a lot more than the ones that we are getting now, even now after 1 year theres a lot of people using those, so in a few words i prefer by far the system we had and not the WoW style, where you have the extreme easy way to get all and for that everything becomes outdated sooner because even casual players find that boring after a while, back in XI i was more like a casual player so i never got the best of the best but i got good enough gear and was happy about it and i always focused on getting the best gear, so i never got bored.

This is an MMO, so everything should take more effort to get so other players may focus on something and you may be able to enjoy those items longer.

This was already explained... the crafters make the best items in the game already, why should they have control over the second best as well?

Multi Materia Gear/Weps > Ex/Rare NM drops > Single Materia Gear/Weps > No Materia Gear/Weps

So you want crafters to have control over all gear in the entire game? That's the problem.
