Economy Lacks "Wow" Factor Items

[OrionInerghem]

Because DoW/DoM get everything handed to them, or just grind it out for a bit, bam best armor in game; there's nothing you can buy that's interesting.


XI had a lot of problems in it's economy, But even now I can sign on and say "there's something I'd like to save up and buy!"
There was always some HQ rare item that was yes very expensive, but it gave you something to look forward to. And this is a different topic but also something that made a difference! Item with +5% haste gave a very noticeable increase in battle speed, Skill/spell speed is a joke in this game.

I felt that way in XIV for a second; like I'm going to make HQ Vanya robe and Meld it up! It'll be so cool...

Oh wait... I can grind AK for a few days and get something better? And I can't resell the old item?
Oh; so there's absolutely no point to go through the massive work, time, and money?

I can't think of one thing on the markets that's actually exciting.
Sorry to be negative but it just really bothers me.
