Most of what is in Yoshi's favor has nothing to do with some item being placed in game right now. It's how he is modding this horrid world into something much better than Tanaka left behind. The long wait is finally paying off.

Epeen/Competition only matters at endgame. So you camped for 100 hours just to receive an item slightly better for a job you will level and then never look back at the item again. That's is nothing to boast about to anyone.
Again you completely miss the entire topic. It's not for some low-mid level gear to satisfy you until endgame content. It's substance. Things other than powerful gear. That's what makes an MMO a fun place to be. Options, choices, shared experiences. It doesn't all have to be PL pt's so you can make laps around AV/CC/lolmoogle/loliffy for gear, that i'll remind you will be rendered more obsolete with every patch. That's the nature of the beast. Can't you people ever just enjoy content for the sake of doing something, without having to have +120 in all the most OP stats you can to enjoy it. Gear grind =/= a game. It's a niche part. Only important as a whole experience.
