Can we maybe slow the power creep down a bit

[Dzian]

The jumps between levels are getting bigger and bigger all the time. And it's going to make alt classes miles behind mains or such.

The difference between a 370 tome weapon and a 360 one is +2 damage. Instead of the usual +1.

And the stat jumps are slowly increasing as well. Getting to a point where a 360 alt job is going to be miles behind a 370 main one.

In terms of weapons damage the i370 weapons are effectively i390

[RiyahArp]

Considering too a lot of people aren't able to get the weapon that close in ilvl, it will be worse than you think. Many will be 350 or even 340 on alts.

My main is i315 with an i310 Ala Mhigan weapon because I don't raid & haven't had the incentive to do Omega, yet. I'll probably craft or make an i350 weapon but I was really waiting for the Relic as that's what I enjoy working on. I do worry that I'm a detriment to the rest of a team because of it.

I wish the level cap raises in expansions was 5 levels instead of 10.

[Bongaboi]

I am not even at i300 to do Skalla. I am three short and need some buyers to get the gear I need.

If you run Ala Mhigo a few times, you'll get more 300 gear. also can't you buy ala mhigan gear with poetics now? (310)

Ala mhigan gear was moved to centurio seals vendor.

They said Run Ala Mhigo, to get the i300 Arhat gear, not the Ala Mhigan gear that use to be from tomes.


Anywho! I don't really mind the way they progress things. I mean, if I'm going to be gearing up, I want to feel the power from it. What's the point otherwise.

I see some people say to keep old content fun, but like... I want to do the new stuff, and gear up and get stronger from it. It's not worth it otherwise IMO.

[Nezerius]

The damage increase from tomestone weapon, to the upgraded version, isn't really a good indication of a power creep, as it isn't always the same. Looking at the WAR tomestone weapons over the course of ARR, HW and up to 4.2 in SB:

Augmented Ironworks Magitek Axe (Poetics) and Kintoki Kai (Law) have a +3 increase.
Conquerer (Soldiery), Parashu (Esoterics), and Mikazuki Kai (Mendacity) have a +2 damage increase.
Augmented Hellfire Battleaxe (Lore), Augmented Shire Bhuj (Scripture), and Augmented Lost Allagan Battleaxe (Creation) have a +1 damage increase.

They said Run Ala Mhigo, to get the i300 Arhat gear, not the Ala Mhigan gear that use to be from tomes.

The person you quoted was simply pointing out that the Ala Mhigan gear has been moved to the Centurio seal vendor, not the poetics one.

I agree with all this, and it's not even about alts..it's about keeping content fun. If ilevels increase too much past content loses the little bit of challenge/fun it had too fast.
