new items are counter productive?

This seems like a weird way to justify it to me. Meets and fulfills all types of needs for adventurers. You know, except those ones who like using their jobs. They have to be content with their AF or wait for different gear to be added.

You do realise there are players who DON'T have AF, much less avatar drop weapons, and probably never will because they dislike the content XIV has which makes it available?

People like me, whose only other option is crafted gear? So I'm glad to see SE is thinking about players like me as well as those fixated on glowy phat lewt.
