Your right im a soloer, up to 40+, and even more, or i wont say no to power lvl. so why should i care about gear? And i dont know in whatparty you've been on, but for Experience Party the kills goes generally so fast cause a lack of real difficulty in this game, thati dont know why i should care. I do care at 50 for Donjon, moogle, ifrit or any End-game cause this is the place its matter. Before that its not affecting things enough to be essential.
