What is a 'bad player'?

[Betelgeuzah]

Wrong. In FFXI I distinctly remember if your gear wasn't up to par, your accuracy and magic accuracy would without a doubt reflect it. I don't know if you play XIV or not, but accuracy is so good that there is almost no need to supplement it at all. It's the same with all the stats. They need to matter more than what they currently do.

Acc stat could have more utility although I'd rather remove the stat altogether than leave it to random chance that I will miss a lot without heavy investment. Missing sucks.

Either way acc wasn't a dealbreaker if you had, once again, enough skill. And a Bard.

I agree with you.

But at what point do your investments start to become trivial?

I remember when Armada Haubergeons cursed part -1 sold for what, 50mil? NQ was like 2 mils.

What you got out of it was something like +1 str, acc, dex, att. And e-peen +2000. i can honestly say that people craved to get their hands on that thing (although most knew they had no chance to get one).
