Duty Recorder Forgotten?

Rewards this, rewards that...
I remember when games were about PLAYING them, who cares if the gear is trash if the fights themselves are still fun? Ultimate's rewards are worthless outside of vanity yet people still do the fight, I wonder why...

Based on replies in other threads, Dzian wants the prestige attached to the items. When players can go back an expansion later and unsync for the same rewards, he feels the prestige is lost. In my opinion, it's all about materialistic value and status.

The only one who can devalue an accomplishment is oneself, and if anyone's achievements are devalued the minute someone gets it via "an easier way", then the achievement only mattered when one could hold it over the head of others in the first place. It wasn't about them having fun or proving to themselves "I can do this", and I disagree with pursuing things only so you can brag about "being better". I do harder content for the challenge and the fun, and when I clear, I've proven to myself that I can do it. Someone doing the fight two years later at 10 levels higher doesn't take that away, nor should it.

I'm not the one you asked this to but there are things I'd definitely take.

• Weapon Glamours
• Armor Glamours
• Mounts
• Minions
• Furniture
• Music

Basically non-gear items, themed to the raid and bosses of course. Items that aren't thrown away last because of item level. If those kinds of things were added I'd probably have more interest. Like the Field Commander boots from Seal Rock. I tried extra hard just to get those lol.

No matter how long of a break I take, the boots will still be here waiting for me while raid gear would be trash!

To be fair, Savage already has the glamours and the mounts (Coil has the music but Alexander's were made obtainable via story mode; minions were made available in both story mode and Savage). The stats on Midan gear are useless now, same with Coil or Alexandrian gear or even UCoB weapons, but people still use the pieces for Glamour. Unless you're meaning level 1 Glamour pieces...which, in my opinion wouldn't be much different than the actual gear. The NIN savage body for Sigmascape is hot garbage stat-wise, but gorgeous for glamour, so I know a several of my NIN friends/acquaintances that rolled on it just for Glamour.

And I believe Gordias dropped items that you could use for a few craftable housing items.
