What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Andrien]

so there shouldn't be HNM with elite drops at level 50, but elite gear like darklight and relic is okay? elite triple/quad melds are ok? people with those pieces will somehow be less upset about a level cap raise than people who got their gear from HNM?

again, your logic doesn't compute. you really didn't think this through, did you?

so i guess there just shouldn't be any elite gear in the game, period, so nobody will have anything to bitch about when the level cap is raised in a year or three?

help me understand, aristotle.

Relic weapon will be upgradable. Darklight gear is something for us players to pass the time until ARR.
