I had a plus 7 totem and some standard avatars bought from the shop, but clearing dungeons alone wasn't that bad. Ancient dungeons were pretty hard, but you could go in parties and slowly try to upgrade your stuff. Imo the way dfo did it made it so you didn't need to have everything upgraded out the ass to enjoy it, since half the fun is also combos. ./monk point of view
Upgrading stuff wasn't cheap if you wanted full +13s, but it was pretty accessible to everyone, and +7's could suffice for awhile, couldn't they? [/COLOR]
+7/+8 stuff is fine for leveling. However, when you have to run dungeons over and over because that's all there was for end-game content, a faster killing speed can actually save you a lot of time. There's also a pretty big jump from regular dungeons to Ancients/Outerverse. It's kind of like you were initially punching down brick walls, and then you start having to punch down titanium walls that are also on fire. It takes so much longer to do an Ancient/Outerverse dungeon with even +10 equipment, and dying is easy and/or painful (most Ancient/Outerverse dungeons can kill you in 1-2 hits/gimmicks if you're really reckless). +12/+13s/+14s essentially upgraded your fists from brass knuckles to Vi style gauntlets, and those lucky enough to get the godliest of the godly gear, you're like this guy:
