Duty Recorder Forgotten?

Would also allow players to keep multiple jobs geared to to higher standard rather all your gear being trash before you've even finished gearing 2 or 3 jobs..

How does it auto become trash if the new tome is locked? It is still useful if you want to do the normals or casual content. There is going to be a couple weeks where people doing savage are still going to be wearing old tier gear if they don't opt for crafted. A complete set of last tier gear gets you through the story and allows you to do all the new casual content (330-335) even 3-5 months later on any job you want. Even Rido is 335. I don't get the logic here.

If you make the new normal and crafted gear the same ilvl as last tier doesn't it automatically become trash per that definition? Normal would be dead really quick.

I remember when games were about PLAYING them, who cares if the gear is trash if the fights themselves are still fun?

They aren't. The harder the fights get, the less people who find them fun. That's why there really isn't a lot of people doing the harder endgames.

It's the game's achilles heel. You don't have to go in, watch a walkthrough video, then practice a stage in a video game over and over if its fun.

I feel like I say it at least once a week at this point but just because you don't find something fun doesn't mean it isn't fun for others.

If SE wasn't seeing the participation in Savage required for them to keep putting it out at the same rate they wouldn't be. I think it's very clear at this point they have a focus on making a profit. Savage draws people in and gives them something to strive for. Just because it doesn't do that for you doesn't mean it doesn't do that for a lot of other players.

I just stepped foot in God Kefka for the very first time last night. We wiped up a storm. Everyone was talking about where we could try standing and baiting mechanics, I was getting advice on what healing I could use to meet the healcheck at the start without ripping off the tank.. it was awesome. I don't think we saw much more than a minute of the fight at a time and it was exhilarating.

Stop trying to further derail this thread with your casual elitism.

Is that why people play games like Dark Souls and DMC?
Believe it or not people do find challenge fun.

I wish my gear could stay relevant for more than a few weeks at a time. I get depressed at reaching a "good enough" pinnacle of gearsets, only to have it all become obsolete and starting the same old round of gathering gil, tomes, tokens, et cetera, over again... I feel beat down more by the vicious gear cycle than by any of the fights I've chosen to do through the years.

Topic pretty much derailed. Feel sorry for the OP.
