All potential bonuses

Equipment has to be level 121+. And yes. I don't understand why people are still using WGs.

Because they are there?

I can only speak for myself. I don't have infinite resources for Making, Scrolling, Potentialling, and especially Cubing.
In order to replace my 16 att BWG, I would need to Make Reverse gloves, potential for 3 lines (no point wasting cubes on 2), scroll some attack onto them, and then cube for 6-12% str (depending on how daring and successful the scrolling was). And that's just to get the same damage I already have with those level 10 bwg. If I want to improve my damage I will have to cube further or scroll more aggressively, all of which is expensive.

So, I preferred to start by working on my skirt, earrings, and (non-attack) shoes - on which even 3% str is a vast improvement.


If the question was: "Why do people bother to scroll new WG?", the answer is: very few people are 4th job.
There are a lot of funded low-level players, who feel they have to have at least a 10-att glove at level 10, a 20-stat bathrobe at 20, and zhelm+pac at 50. The demand is there, the meso are there, so the supply continues to flow.
If and when these people make it to third job, then potentialled class equips become more interesting.
