This is one of the few occasions that I am actually not angry at our reps. This sort of thing is not in their hands. The development team is a bunch of n00bs for this, though. To be honest, it should have never been considered to bring the required Totems down to 5 because Ifrit weapons are STILL basically BiS for group play. However, the fact that SE was dumb enough to even make that kind of announcement in the first place without completely considering everything is idiotic.
