FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[Shougun]

It wasn't a direct statement at you it was just just a general post to everyone that is so against tokenizing lesser gear. And yeah, it happens in every game, but the job of an mmo developer is to develop a game that will prevent this from happening for a long enough time period that it will keep people playing from patch to patch so they aren't losing out on revenue.

As far as your suggestion goes, I would be fine with that. If people want to spam the content an absurd amount of times thats up to them. I would probably end up doing it too but I am not necessarily in it for the gear as I am to just have fun playing a game.

I just wanted to point out that people don't seem to realize that if SE catered entitled mentality the players have it would be the death of the game.

If they gave the gear out for free I can understand - that's a matter of getting the right token costs. If they are making it so each week (cant remember the specifics) you get 3 tokens to spend gambling for the full version out right, and if you fail you get a token to spend at the npc. Then all you have to do is go "how long do I want them to work for a full version at maximum" if they say I want 10 runs max for 1 item, then make the cost of the full version 10 tokens.

I think the lesser gear would be interesting if it is a lower level. Then you can go run a high level dungeon for really good lower level gear for another class/job.

Then it would be even cooler:

Gamble for gear out right, if you fail get any gear.
Spend token on cheaper good lower level gear,
(though there should still be an option for decent same level cheap gear),
Spend more tokens on good higher level gear.

But as someone else said - you dont run a dungeon for the shitty gear, people are always shooting for the primal weapon, not the primal weapon -1.
