[Dreamer]

XIV needs to begin requiring ranks for class specific, "top-of-the-line" gear. For now, there is no incentive to level into gear. If I buy Mosshorn Scalemail, I can wear it at level 1. In my opinion, that is broken. The satisfaction of hitting the required rank for my Haubergeon way back in the day kept me up until 5AM playing my character. Now, as long as I can buy, I can wear. Where is the achievement?

What are your thoughts?

You realize that until you reach about level 40, that item will do absolutely nothing for you, right? You can wear it, but you'll receive zero benefit.

I'd like to see some class-specific gear, but I actually like the rank flexibility. It gives you more option about what's available to wear when you're doing non-leveling stuffs.
