Will there be progression in 2.0?

Because i believe there should be an even distribution.

EG: 20 Crafted / 20 Questing / 20 Dungeon Chest / 20 Primal Fight / 20 Other

My opinion on it as I enjoying focusing on as many aspects of the game as possible, as opposed to spending vast time in town.

I don't use any primal gear because I'm a Garuda loser. XD

But I have good gear because I'm good at everything else. Your idea doesn't give primal losers like me any recourse but to have sucky gear. No one should have to do ALL the content to have gear. Your way forces YOUR progression desires on other players. Yoshi's way of progression allows us to CHOOSE what content we WANT to do.

Theres a balance of slots for sure, but to get the BEST gear in the game, you are forced to go crafted most of the way.

Crafters are and will continue to be needed. That's how it should be. Get over it.

Right I think this thread entered the twilight zone a long time ago... Gil selling leads to crafting... what a load of drivel.

It doesn't? I know several people that have triple melds +1 because they earn 6 figure salaries in real life. They are rich bitch friends.

OH OH OH! Abolish crafting!

In response to the dev post, doesn't that just mean equipment will make even less of a difference than it does now? Are they talking about the base stats in particular? Or the extra stats like attack and enmity, which are also available from materia?

It means pure stat stacking melding won't be as powerful, which is what you're talking about yes?

That was my first problem, my second being that gear needs to be more important than it is now so that there's a sense of gear progression. I believe I found this video on these forums, but I'll post it again for people to see because I feel it really gets the point across, especially with how they're handling 2.0 in comparison to WoW and XI:

Why does there need to be a "sense of gear progression." I would rather not have the problem WoW faced when it went from vanilla -> bc (when my 6 months worth of raiding went down the drain with a few greens)
