Gearing Systems need a revamp.

Crafted gear wouldn't be useless even if you geared faster.
It's still pre-Savage BiS.
I don't really think there's necessarily '' alts '', one of the core features of this game is supposed to be that you can play all Jobs on one character and the way gearing works does contradict that.

Except OP wants crafted gear to be the same iLvl as the previous tier's BiS. That would also make it the same iLvl as gear bought with Astronomy tomestones (uncapped with the new tier). Like I had already explained, people pushing for week 1/2 clears wouldn't bother with crafted gear, while people not doing savage would just get the Astronomy gear.

And i still want this. Crafted gear was meant as a catchup mechanic of gear, if you didn't clear the previous tier. No? So you could start the new tier fresh. It should not be out doing the previous tier bis so fast. You know who would bother with the crafted gear? Those who didn't get the tier cleared. You know who else. Those who have BIS so they can mix and match for better stat pools.
