And just comparing this game to FFXI I think it's going to be a game where you actually have to bust your tail to get the best stuff. But when you do, it's a great feeling when you acquire them. Like acquiring Kraken's Club in FFXI, Matt's Cap, Dalmaticus, etc etc.
Yeah, like some of us busted our tails in 1.0 to get the White Raven earrings and we felt great after the work we put in to get them and then SE turned them into crap as we found out when we got our 1.0 chars back in phase 3.
The gear will be worth it so long as SE doesn't pull that on us again.
