SE, for the love of what is sacred to you, bring back aetherial gear as end-game rewards!

I'm already tired of being a carbon copy of every other player in game.
The only things that are customizable are character appearance and glamour.

I barely have interest in extreme/savage content, mostly because the gear is insignificant compared to its "casual" same iLv counterparts and the amount of effort required to clear said content.

Aetherial equipment drops for this type of content would be just perfect to keep players interested in getting a better gear.

As of now I have zero interest on keep playing, I log in, do random stuff with a few FC members whenever they need help and then log out.
Every patch adds more of the same stuff we've been seeing since 2.5-ish... It's getting harder for me to keep paying a sub to do a week worth of content.

I kind of appreciate the amount of effort from the devs on designing dungeons, boss arenas and new mechanics (when they happen), but that spark only lasts for a couple of days.
