The current formula of gear progression NEED CHANGE

[Dav2017]

After 3.5months, you know your Eureka weapon will be junk again, you can simply get a better weapon from market board.

Spent months just for a GLAMOUR? Why bother doing it then? What's the point of playing this game?
Pls give us a reason to do it!

Or give us a better glamour system:
You can not only change the appearance of a weapon, you can also add special effect to it,
for example :Add 5% Regen potency, or shorten 0.5sec Raise cast time, or heal 3000HP when casting Esuna, by using a old relic glamour

Yes, Eureka weapons are primarily for glamour. If you're going for stats, it's far easier to get token weapon, crafted or Savage/extreme.

And the "junk after 3.5 months" is true for pretty much everything. That's how MMOs work. Gear will become obsolete, and then you chase the next set of gear.

You'd be suprised what lengths people will go for JUST glamour

Stats last for a tier. Glam is forever.

this complaint is just stage 1 in the cycle of a problem. Because oh, go 6 months between updates. plenty of time to grind the gear and get use out of it, but now we have content drouts. or they could release content with non upgrade rewards, but then where's the intensive to do it? this argument is a loose loose situation where there are going to be some people that are not happy and i think how they do it now is probably the least offensive of the three options.

This is a themepark mmo, thats how themepark mmos operate, vertical progression, bigger ilevels, bigger HP pools, bigger everything. If you want something that has horizontal progression instead, you need to go and find another game.

Welcome to vertical progression MMO's. This is nothing new to the genre.

How does a horizontal progression MMO works? I've heard people talk about it but nobody's spelled out exactly how that works beyond saying you sometimes get to keep the same item useful for longer.

Ok, You know farming Blue Magic spells? Now imagine that for gear with a much, much lower drop rate.

And people wont let you into groups unless you have certain pieces.

Have fun.

Look at FFXI and its gear as a model for horizontal progression, at least mostly. It has had its Vertical moments as it went from a 75 cap game to eventually a 99 cap, eventually capping out with ilvl gear of 119 currently. There is some vertical with some of the 119 gear but mostly back on the horizontal path. You have multiple pieces of gear for each slot that you swap out based on the ability or spell that you are using.
