A Modest Thought

Snip

It was never made to be reflective of the system that we're currently using, it is actually a proposed change that would fit within your own desired gearing structure, which is to me more beneficial to the topic at hand, we're discussing (at least it seems) of what problems the current core is encountering, I'm sure you can built something out of what you've said by adding to what I've said.

Secondly, no matter what kind of feelings you're getting out of beating one of those secret boss, in a game like FFXIV or any MMO-RPG for that matters, you're indeed getting more gear to be able to do more of them, if gear wasn't a point that you seemed so adamant to (in first the place) you would not have much problems with the current structure, don't you ? (On that matter, being able to defeat a boss is actually a progression in itself and that's what you could count as reward, what you need to do to get there is what I effectively call "artificial" stairs.)

Lastly, I never said that I was ok by getting rewarded for barely anything, in fact it would be the opposite, I would be ok with not getting rewarded even by doing my best, which is what I aim to be most of the time and this is what I get satisfaction from (Personal improvement).

I feel a little bit "saddened" that what you took of my post were invalided as soon as they were not concording to the current design since you're in for a change and that's what I'm trying to talk about here, what would be the cons/pros about it instead of comparing apple to orange.
