So it seems 1.17 patch will bring class specific gear and twenty new NMs.
What do you guys think? I love the new Conjurer's weapon.

Hopefully the "Requirements" are only on new non-crafted gear.

I really hope the generic crafted gear that doesn't come from NM drops doesn't get a Rank or Class/Job Requirements. But all the Special Gear does, or if you equip materia with a rank requirement it locks it then.

Am sorry but all new gear should be rank and class requirements we talk about this here. Main reason some players does not want it just to show off there kitty cat chars. The reason i want it is to give a reason for me to level up a class to a level to get the item. Not just get it and i can just put it on if i like no i want to use it when i get the level and set a goal to reach that level to put on the item.

I agree and also believe that the gear should only be for that class and rank. If you want it then rank up the appropriate class to earn it.

No thanks, the last thing this game needs is more restrictions imo.

I think some armor should be restricted to certain classes and some should be open season.

Sarcasm? As Gear is currently meaningless and doesn't mend well for upcoming job changes. Dress up is cool and all, but we need requirements to work towards which in turn creates goals.

Well i mean...you can get the armor using another class and just equip it at level 1 because its using optimal rank instead of required. I don't see how it'd suddenly stop being a goal when every class can wear it (even though i dont think every class should be able to wear it for different reasons).

Okay, I've seen this argument floating around for a while now. It's seriously kind of bugging me. If you can't look at the gear that's out there and see that it works for you and work towards it as a goal because it makes you better at your job... then I dunno what's going on. I'm trying to communicate this as tactfully as possible. It's just weird and strange to hear this kind of reasoning. Is it just that you guys want something more "special" that no one else can have but you?

I don't get that. So what if everyone can wear it? So what if others are playing dress up with it? What makes it any less of a goal if it's a great piece of gear you need in order to get things done? Why would you need a requirement to want that piece of gear? I didn't want to say so up front, but it really feels like people aren't capable of thinking for themselves, like they need to be controlled or herded in some way to get things done, and that bothers me. I'm asking these questions seriously btw and I'd like a serious answer if possible.

Shot in the dark...you're an RPer aren't you? As every MMO has a type of class/rank/race/gender restriction on gear...
