They're bozjan resistance weapons bruh they have a direct impact and association with the story of the zone and particularly the bosses in the new dungeon. This isn't a false association with the content, it's the only association that matters.

Also I don't really think people banging their heads against a wall and not using the resources the zone gives you is entirely on square enix's fault. If I give you food and you don't eat it and starve to death, that's only my responsibility if you didn't understand it was food and I didn't explain it, y'know? So basically what I'm saying is, pop an essence. Try to pick one that isn't platebringer.
