"Monsters drop weapons and armor!? RAAAAAAAAGE."

I know, right? Who would want to play a game like that?

Not the hardcore players because they're too hardcore.

I don't see a problem with these NM's dropping this special new gear. If they dropped mats to make special gear instead, then they really couldn't have made them untradeable. And the fact that they are untradeable makes it so people (esp. higher ranked ones) won't just camp them to get things to sell. IMHO it is a good way to let everyone have a chance at these NM's and their gear. ^^

But I don't really get why they drop regular gear that can be crafted. I guess it is so even if you don't get the special item, you still get something nice, but surely they could have come up with a better consolation prize. My LS went out and killed a bunch of the new NM's last night and we got a load of random gear. Rings, bracelets, actons, cowls, footwear, jackets . . . that were mostly unwanted. So guess where all that gear is probably going to show up? The market wards.

Who knows. Maybe there would be an incentive to keep these gears, and an incentive to craft more. Like... Taking that Flametounge or Ice Brand and reforging them into awesome R45/50 weapons using your blacksmithing skills.

I recommend that path.

Edit: expect anti-crafter complaints from that of course....

this thread is stupid.

I can not believe any smart person would think there would never be drops from NMs..... stupid.....

You obvious don't know how this game works before the 1.17 patch. NMs sure drop things, but it should be materials that are required to be crafted not finished product like beret, slops, cowl, and etc.

What equipments can be sold for 100 mil gil? Every crafted equipments can now be bought at reasonable price because of competition. Please don't say a number that you can't even referring to. If you want to say "Dodore Doublet" for example, crafters need dodore wing to make dodore doublet. You think that fighters who have dodore wing selling it cheap? Think again, don't write something like ONLY crafters can make gils. Every player in this game already has tons of money.

i believe people need multiple incentives to battle, obtaining armour through battling has been an MMO staple since the dawn of time, this game needed something for non crafters to fight for since we are the majority in any MMO, not crafters.

Omg stop complaining about everything..! The drops are good the way they are.. they're not gonna screw up anyone hey..!
Full drops are in every game besides.. <<

OP is crying b/c he can't do anything in the game other than craft. The new gear isn't better in every way than the old crap so crafters still have a place...just not as big of a place. I, personally, want FFXIV - Adventure RPG. I don't want FFXIV - CraftbotFarmvilleRPG Fantasy with good graphics.
