Nonsensical endgame gear system

[Judge Lazar]

Yes, I want to spend 6 months running the high end raids to get my high end gear because getting the gear takes multiple tokens of which you can only get 4 per week and have to rely on RNG rolls to get said tokens. That way when I finally get my gear I am completely burned out on the game and there is no more content to even play. I love to spend 6 months getting my gear and then just standing around looking at it because there's literally no reason to even play. This weekly RNG lockout ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't be that bad if it just gave the actual gear, not dumb ass tokens I need 2-7 of for one piece of gear.

Savage tier is BIS, yes, and will be needed for ultimates, if you plan on doing neither, you don't even need it.

But you can get 650 tome gear pretty lazily just by doing dailies with a 90. And that is literally the gear that FF14 has that is the endgame set, if you don't plan on doing savage raids.

Yes, BIS is better, because its, well BIS. But you don't have to obtain it. The 650 Tome set/augmented set when it releases is more than usable for anything endgame that isn't... aka.. savage and ultimates

[Judge Lazar]

The 650 tome gear takes too long as well. 1 piece per week for ears, neck, wrist and 2 rings. Then 2 weeks each for chest and legs and 2 weeks each for boots gloves and head, plus another 4 weeks for the ultralight tomestone and another 2 weeks for the tomestones to get the weapon. You only get 450 tomestones a week, the body gear costs 495 and 825 a piece, the weapon costs 500. That's totally ridiculous. Obnoxious time sink. Like I understand they want to slow the process down some because goons like me will just sit at our computer for 40 hours and grind it all out in one go but it's WAAAAAAAY too slow.

BIS gear only matters if you're interested in end game optional content. I don't see an issue here, you don't even need 650 tome gear to pass all the raid dps checks.

aren't you glad you boosted through 80 levels of gameplay and story to get here?

[FreshMint]

Honestly you can just do your dailies and weekly raid and skip the rest if you're not that deep into high end raiding.
Heck, you can just get away with 640 from crafted/normal raids, and you'll still contribute well enough to everything (though it helps to have a relic on top of that- weapons contribute a lot to your stats/damage).

[Drakzen]

BiS is only important for absolute peak numbers. You don't need or have to go for it to do end game content (Maybe for ultimate).

Tome gear and or crafted gear could be enough.

And if you have cleared the content that drops said BiS then of course there is no more content to do apart from ultimate xD imagine complaining about completing content and realising you have no content left to done once you complete it O_O

[A Random Canadian]

BiS is only needed if you're doing high-end raiding. You can get your 650 tome by doing one expert a day which is usually 20 minutes if you get a slow group and IIRC it gives you around 90 tomes (40 roulette reward + 50 from the dungeon itself). That's spending 20 minutes a day 5 days a week if you want to go for the laziest route for tomes.

Also it sounds like you're complaining about nraid as "high end content" since you just roll on the loot in Savage raids and if your rolls are good you can sweep all the loot from a fight, the "4 tokens a week" is for normal raids.

The entire point of endgame gear grind is to give players something that they can do in the months between updates. If it's not fun, just level a different class or wait for the next update to come out. Gear becomes obsolete every two updates anyway.

[hagare]

oh, I thought this was about savage

[MOSLEY]

The tier is balanced for 640 crafted gear. Giving everyone guaranteed 660 drops week 1 would be busted.

You can completely remove the RNG from the gearing process by joining a static.

[TrioAngelamVA.WliaAlfaD.A.S]

The end game would be ok to slowly farm out if there was any use for it... the game will dumb down (stats vise) for anything under 90 anyway unless you do it for the style and looks but half the time the sets are far from my liking..i think most ppl will settle with 640 gears from crafting since as said the RNG in raids and weekly limits are somewhat boring/chore ? but its also true its something to do on end game.
But i doubt anything will change to be fair i dont really see many ppl with the raid gears anyway its mostly 650 gears.

Why waste all this time when every single set of gear that you're aiming for will be rendered completely useless next year?

...Yes, next year. When Dawntrail releases. We're not getting another ilvl increase until then, Savage and augmented tome gear will remain the BiS items in 6.5 since the araid gear will be ilvl 650. Am I missing the joke here or something?

...So what, your gear should be infinitely useful???
