Markets After Nov. 1st

[Issachar]

I'm relatively positive the level cap will NOT increase. The biggest issue with ffxiv right now is lack of content, specifically endgame.

The Devs have a ton of development to do, and the last thing they need is to make the current content they DO have become irrelevant. not to mention all the people that will be joining new come ARR that they want current endgame content to still be new and relevant for.

Lastly, while materia will have reforms, I still highly doubt SE is going to make some of the best gear (triple melds/etc) worthless, since it would be a big middle finger to the people that worked hard/paid a lot of gil for some of these items. In the last letter, i believe yoshi-p specifically stated they are "doing there best" to maintain relevancy for materia'd gear.

I think it will fall into the category where heavily melded gear will remain "upper tier" gear, but will not be the endall, be all gear.

You underestimate Yoshida. There will be a level cap increase eventually, and there will be gear being rendered invalid. Has happened many times since the Sept 21, 2010 launch of this game.

Weapons are cycled through pretty quickly, but armor remains relevant for much longer, at level cap anyway. The only time something became completely useless was Darkhold armor after materia was introduced.

It's a given that we'll have a level cap increase at some point, but in all honesty, do we REALLY want to hold onto the same equipment for 3+ years at a time again though? I know I don't. I don't want stuff to become obsolete every two months but I sure as hell don't want to be running the same content years from now for the same drops.

Things will get really stale after having the same level cap for too long. People have to just accept that their stuff will become obsolete at some point.

They already said they aren't raising the level cap...

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Level cap will raise with the first AAR expansion pack.
Which I don't see happening for at least a year after relaunch.

[PSxpert2011]

i'll admit to be a lil bit curious... who, what and how thing will be going down after the world of Eorzea is Zombified.

I didn't mean immediately. I meant when they do.

Not only is all of this, including its categorisation as fact or speculation, correctly stated, it made me laugh.
