Why only one way to upgrade gear?

I think its good people dont get the best stuff for facerolling easymode content. I would welcome more exclusivity in gear. 24s are just AFKing for 45 mins through a zergfest, so shouldnt be rewarded.

AFKing through Ozma was not an option when it came out. If you were doing that you were a jerk. It's not faceroll till enough people get enough pieces that the carries begin to happen.

Well you had to move and hit 1-2-3, but when Mhach, the IMO best 24 so far, came out our main chars still had tomestone gear outgearing it already. Only the 2nd and 3rd jobs of randoms turned this into anything more than a faceroll. Personally, I think there is too much content introduced into this game that is outdated at its release.
