GC items Fail = SE Fail

[LicontAshontear]

you think its relevant now

but what happens when what company has the best gear changes next patch
then the patch after
and so on and so forth

its an endless cycle, each guild can NOT have the same exact gear or else you have no incentive to choose one over the other


so this patch lets say uldah has the shield thats best
next patch its grid
then its uldah again
then limsa

and so on, its not unfair to any 1 group in specific, its just that during any specific timeframe the best item for each slot will be obtainable from somewhere different

everyone will have their best in slots during those times obtainable and during other times itl be another countries turn

Remember the good old days...when the best gear in the game was raid gear...and everyone was able to get it...no one was left out...yah....just like every other MMO on the market...SE has backwards fundamentals on core game design

whenever a game releases an aspect of the game that makes you choose you can run into these issues though

look at other games where you have to choose "light vs dark" or "villian vs hero" or "hoard vs alliance"
one side will always have some advantage in some areas while the other has it in others
and the balance will tip back and forth depending on the day of the week and what is released

in the end, again, its a game and some people take that 1 point of stat someone else may be able to get over them WAY WAY too seriously the way you are doing right now

ya know, i do understand that the best gear is not needed to complete the current content. i can see where the op is coming from though. the goal of each character on the game is to get the best possible item in every spot they can. sure i don't need that felt robe(red) +3 with 5 healing hands equipped on it, but that won't stop me from trying to get it.

i don't think the issue is that the item is in another city. the problem is they are trying to get the best gear for the gear setup and tanking style he prefers to use and due to being part of one company instead of another it is impossible. in every mmo i have touched people are always trying to get the best gear. if they weren't then items like relics would have never had a reason to be put in game. they were by far the best items, but they took a long time to get. they were hard to get, but with the companies those certain items are impossible.

did the op go too far on his rant? yes, because we know each company will get stuff in the future. the thing is the future could be after this patch or it could be a year down the road and nobody knows which.

another hugely valid point, and the fact that i am agreeing with you in specific says alot cuz i generaly hate your posts

I am calm. I can be upset over something and voice my opinion. And no you are right, if the shield was in my GC I would not be here, but then someone else would be here posting what I am posting. The fact of the matter is there are currently 2 sides to the debate.

1: GC's are unbalanced

2: just wait SE will fix it

the problem is we shouldnt have to wait for SE to fix it. They should not break things in the first place.

I'm fine with GCs getting certain gear that's better than the others, I think they should just not make it untradable or make it available at 2x the seal cost for other GCs.

btw Licont is a noob.

yah this whole thing could be avoided if they would make all GC items available just at a higher cost.
