FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

So you're proposing we need to run something like Sky for the next 4 years? I think six months is an acceptable amount of time to design new content to replace your older gear. A year at MOST.

One to a max of 2 years

When you put a ton of time to obtain a rare piece of gear trust me your not gonna enjoy seeing something replace that slot in just 6months

and like I said SE will probably not have updates out every 6months

This always makes me puzzled to talk about.

Gear that takes a long time to get, and isnt replaced because the new content isnt competitive enough or just doesn't happen.

Or gear that takes less time to obtain but is then replaced by better gear not so long afterwards because new competitive gear is created as new content is being created.


That isnt to say you cant create new content and have gear that takes a long time - but it is more doubtful of an operation.

While some people are annoyed I think a year to half a year cycle is long enough.

FFXI seemed to run in the first way for a long time as the grinds for things where = insane =, but then development teams changed or something as level cap went to 99 in a hurry.

Prior to the lettered 1.23 patches, SE has been pushing a new patch out within every three months.

I agree that some things need to hold their value as something totally badass (D. Ring, Kraken Club, etc.) but we don't need another situation where people were level 75 for 7 years, then all of a sudden, "Hey we're increasing the cap and putting in brand new gear! " invalidating almost all the work you did for that period of time. SE needs to keep things changing at a pace that's acceptable enough that you don't feel you wasted nearly a decade of your life. At least this is one of the common complaints I hear about Abyssea. I stopped playing FFXI long before that happened.
