Just got to level 3000 and had a look at some of the elite and optimal weapons that I have recently unlocked and what do you know they are absolutely worthless as their stats are lower than what I currently have equipped. I think by the time anyone gets to this level they will find exactly the same. It is bad enough that jobs give worthless drops as you go up the levels, but the elites and optimals should at least have some value.
Hey Friendly, I'm sorry to hear you feel the Elite and Optimal weapons are useless. If you have an idea that you feel would make them more useful, feel free to post in the Ideas section about it and discuss it with your fellow players.
