Not entirely true in some situations. Take... the Android armor is Level 70, Even the stats of a fully single stated Visitor Helmet outperform the Scarlion, Targus, Oni (I forgot the name of that darn boss from the China area event) and Zakum Helmets. The only one's they don't beat are the stats from the Android Helmet w/ all the gear and usage of Crystals when forging and the Chaos Zakum helmet, but even then gear added to the these 50+ must be potentialed and those are 70+ and even the best potential gear has to have stats of 50+.
Even the best armor with potential has some drawbacks and limits as to what it can do. There aren't many pieces of armor that can give +35 STR/DEX/INT/LUK even when scrolled and maybe barely with some potential.
If anything the visitor suit has good stats even without potential. It's just if you can get potential items, get the right bonuses without cubing it to death, and using scrolls to hell and back. And even still most people don't have these items. I only have 1 potential item (a pair of +5 all stats and +5 dex sword earrings) and a ton of potential gear I can't even wear or use because they belong to another class.
And getting the right gear right now isn't easy with all the little aliens roaming around everywhere stirring up mischief.
But I'll say within a few months, the visitor gear won't be as useful, but people who have it will still be using parts of it, if not all of it.
