    Shiny is good. Shiny is like.

    I looked over the general process (haven't actually done it) and I like how at least the first two stages we're not just sitting around waiting for timed nodes. I absolutely hate timed nodes.

    I'm however in the camp that the reward could be better.

    Maybe the crafted HQ could have a tool+3pc or tool+4pc set bonus, to make it always the better choice with quad/penta-melding, but without the gear parts to activate the bonus the relic becomes better than a penta-melded crafted HQ tool (when comparing only the tool). This should make the relic the go-to for casual players, and the penta-melded crafted set the ultimate end-game gear. Maybe even make the crafted tool untradable to give it that end-game prestige.

    But shiny is good. Yeah. Shiny is nice.

    Or. . . Y'know. . . Freaking MATERIA SLOTS? 2 would be nice, 5 would be ideal.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
