Can we please

There are other ways to catch up without the need to go into dungeons for dungeon gear. Gear dropping from battles or chests being untradable makes total sense. Compared to other games that have a good chunk of tradable gear, this game doesn't hand that much out in comparison. Tell me another MMO where only 6-9 pieces of gear drops in total from all bosses and trash pulls. Not that many. Usually tradable gear drops in droves and is cheap, in most games that has this feature. And guess what? Most of the time, the tradable gear is junk and gives randomized stats that would usually be useless and only the good stat gear sells about as much if not more than crafted gear.

I'm all for it, but please realize the issues that would come up if dungeons gear was tradable. It is quite easy to see how it plays out with other games. Desirable dungeons drops won't be cheap.

Okay, so once again let me just be super clear. As someone who has played the game since stormblood, I know there are other ways to get gear. I FEEL like when people answer this way, they think that all of us in the said group have unlimited time together. We wanted to accomplish a goal right then and there. The other ways would have killed the time we had available even more, to the point where we wouldn't have been able to do what we wanted to do.

On top of that, I have played plenty of other MMO's and dungeon gear drops aren't a problem. Dungeon gear in this game is always weaker. To be able to trade them breaks absolutely nothing.


- You made three different points in that last little bit so I will address them.

1. "Most of the time, the tradable gear is junk" - Dungeon gear in this game currently is junk. Like 99% of the time you either desynth it or go back to your home nation and trade it in.
2. "and gives randomized stats" - This game doesn't do randomized stats and neither do TONS of other MMO's, including SE's other MMO FFXI, where there is free trading.
3. "only the good stat gear sells about as much if not more than crafted gear." - We have already established that dungeon gear in this game is always a weaker gear, so this is a non issue as long as they continue the trend.
