GC items Fail = SE Fail

[DyskoFox]

I have read every single post in this thread and think many posters are just being plain silly. Ok, please explain to me how any of the Grand Company's are currently balanced item wise? I mean currently as well I don't mean down the road I mean at 8pm est when the patch is finished and people log on to the game how is it balanced? Also posters have mentioned picking Grand Companys. I am not sure how long each poster has been playing for but I chose my Grand Company when that content was released. So, if I want gear from the Ul'dahn Grand Company how am I supposed to join that grand Company when I joined Gridania previously? I was previously told that it would not matter what Grand Company I joined because they would all be balanced. Which brings me back to what I previously stated how is this balanced content? As for Licont Ashontear being a competent tank, troll, and elitest pig. Yes, he is elitest he wants the best gear he can obtain. I have played with him and he is that. As for being a competent tank yes he is exactly that I have played with many people on the Melmond server and he does a fantastic job tanking. I have yet to play a better tank on Melmond that still plays. As for being a troll. Yes, he is a troll lol. But he only trolls in response to trolling. He brought up a subject that is valid. This is not a balanced patch for Grand Companys. He did not bring it up in the best of ways but he still brought it up. Yes, some of you may be sick of everyone having simular or the same gear. Ok, well if you don't want the same gear then don't use the same gear. But there are people out there who strive to attain the best gear they can so they can do what they enjoy doing as best as they can. Yes, you can ifrit with level 1 gear. But why would you make some thing harder on yourself if you don't need to? Feel free to flame me I don't care the slightest the fact is the Grand Company's are not balanced and this is not fair for those of us whom don't currently like what is offered at our grand Company. Especially when we were told it would be balanced.

Exactly my point. They are not the best gear in the game. If he is so elitist, he will realize crafted/melded gear are better than any of those GC items.

He only cares about the shield, and is raging as such because he is under the delusion that block rate is the only stat on a shield that matters. He may end up having a point, if Outmaneuver tested after the patch is useless - but at this point there is no other point to his post than utter nerd rage.

I do not think you understood my post at all. I was talking about how the Grand Company's were not balanced. I was talking about how I was told by the SE staff that the Grand Company's would be balanced. I only told players about Licont's character because many posters were trolling him to a large effect and questioning his ability as a gladiator tank. I did not once mention meldable gear or materia. I did not once mention the shield that is available in Gridania. I did comment on how he brought the subject up and yes it could of been done in a better. The point I am trying to make is that the Grand Company's are currently unbalanced and that they should not be when we were told they would not be. So, now we do not have the availability to get every item we would like to get and we are not able to leave the Grand Company we are in to join the one we would like to. Oh, I also forgot to mention how Ul'dah got the only crafting shoes/pants in 1.19. Balanced much?
