Yeah, I am at a loss as to why all the gear that's the best now is just soooo easy to obtain. It cannot be that hard for them to make the old drops from the NMs used in other synths, or make new NMs for us to tackle and get drops for our gear.

I'm also a bit iffy on how quickly everything repops now. It's like instant gratification for everyone, but then a month later you wonder why you are so bored. They need to fix this quickly, and not cater so much for casual (they can be just fine with materia gear and the easily crafted stuff)

(On the topic of rentry into fights, I'd much rather it be something like 2-4 hours to re-enter. So you can't just breeze through it. I have a feeling it would have taken people a lot longer to figure out the strategies for these fights... Just make sure you put em near a stronghold or something so we can do something while we wait )
