First of all, I want to say this is not a rant and I sincerely apologize if at any point it sounds like one. I'm not a veteran player of this game since I only started playing a few months ago. I played on Aeria many years ago but they went under shortly after I got to Nemesis. I currently have a lvl 47 WH and I need a Zeta bangle and helm. I was lucky enough to get a Zeta suit in the consignment.
So here's the dilemma. The Spaceship is listed as a lv 45 dungeon. I need to get in there and hopefully get a bangle and helm to drop from one of the bosses. The problem is, I can't survive in that dungeon with the mix of Delta and Zeta I have even though everything is +9 or +10. With the exception of my trinket, all my jewelry is Uni, thanks to the Christmas event.
So if I need a bangle and helm in order to survive that dungeon, what's the point of running the dungeon since my only alternative is to buy the gear in the consignment? So far, I've found this to be true with all the dungeons in this game. For example, if you go into IV as a lvl 35 with the hopes of finding the gear you need, you get creamed. Let's not even talk about AT.
Now it's very possible I suck as a player and if that's the case, I'll work hard on getting better, but I don't think I'm alone here. I'm starting to think the game is set up to force you into buying what you need in the consignment FIRST and then you farm a dungeon to get your gold back. That makes no sense to me since I would think the entire purpose of a dungeon is to give players the opportunity to get the gear they need to progress. Anything extra would then go in the consignment. I hope I made myself clear.
