Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Stasya]

I wouldn't call DRS dead on arrival - people run and do it still to this day if not solely for the glams and the mount. I believe the same appeal is still existing for Baldesion Arsenal. The difference is, DRS has replayability because you have to go back to finish everything (glams, in this case) whereas such incentive doesn't really apply for Criterion. If they had glams with the books, people would run it again. That being said, I liked Criterion. I wish it had more incentive, but this was more fun than any savage tier in the recent years (I've done every raid tier week1 since Promise fully blind), nearly comparing enjoyment to a Ultimate. I hope we get more of them.

I just believe the rewards were added to pad the listings. Hunt Trains is and will be the most efficient materia farmer, and I don't think they want to create another Anemos situation what completely crashed materia market.
