Please make getting gear faster in Dawntrail

[Orinori]

FFXIV: We want to be able to gear faster!
SE: OK, fine. For a start we'll make relics just take 1500 mid grade tomes to complete each step. That will make it so people can get multiple jobs their weapons quickly.
FFXIV player base: No, not like that.

Seriously, make up your godsdamned minds.

You don't understand this game at all lmao.

Relic weapons are not BiS, nor have they ever been BiS, other than for the final few months of an expansion.
Those 1,500 tomes is not what we're talking about lmfao, everyone is clearly talking about lockouts.

I've got this sinking feeling that pretty much all of the people opposed to faster gearing are people who don't actually try to gear more than one job (in separate armor classes) if even that.

You're feeling is basically correct. Collecting different styles of gear is what should take time more than getting to max iLvL for the patch, especially with how certain roles need completely different sets of gear.

All the people I'm reading in this thread seem to completely ignore the stat crunch and how it changed basically everything. Those arguments about overgearing had way more merit in shadowbringers, but with how it works now, time to kill does not improve anywhere near as much per point.
