FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[sharazisspecial]

i don't think you really know what rare items are. they are rare because they don't drop often and not everyone has them.

I used normal , rare , epic as tier list of gear quality.
Normal -average and entry level
rare-mid level- above average
epic-exclusive and very rare.

I prefer items be earned by skill not by being lucky by rng . Or repeating an easy instance 1000x times. But it does seeem that ffxi/current ffxiv fans are content with doing that.

I personally do not understand why people want items to have terrible drop rates rather have a skill level requirements instead. Because only the elite skill level should the best gear rather then gil buyers or encouraging people to waste their lives away grinding to beat that 0.01% drop rate.

When i see someone with armor they got from getting lucky i dont really care. They wasted xxx hours just grinding. Honestly i feel sorry them. They could be terrible players who got lucky.

But when i see someone who has exclusive armor from doing hard modes/high ranked pvp reward i have more respect for them because they have a high skill level and would be a like them to be in my group.

In ffxi i had alot of useless party members with really good gear probally obtained from skilless grinding/buying gil

I am one of those players that doesnt care much about having superior gear to everyone else. I just prefer not grinding . I would like in mmo to have my skill tested rather then waste my time grinding.

whats really the difference between a Ridil obtained by 0.01% drop versus making ridil only availible if you beat a really hard hardmode fight .Both would be just as rare.
