    99 cap is the final cap, so the fight has to be special and impressive.

    As for the new ws, the fact that a fully merited new ws can compete with relic/mythic/empyrean is exactly why they are only allowing 3 fully merited ws, because if you could fully merit all of them it would be more messed up than it already is to players with empyreans/woe/mythic/relic. If more ws were allowed to be fully capped, then the power of these new ws would have to be nerfed, is that what you would want?

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    That is a terrible reasoning. you are saying then that the only way to keep all your desired jobs at respectable performance is to merit 3 WS and for any other job that does not share a weapon, they HAVE to do mythic relic or empy? that is rather asinine form a development stand point. The simple fact is, players have multiple jobs, they skilled them up and leveled them, and you are saying the last WS you are given is going to end at lv 80?(skill 300) and most cases then not will be stuck using even lower lvl weaponskills. In fact most of the new WS are still falling short against most relic/mythic/empy counterparts so really that is a bad example as a whole. being able to merit them all would mean nothing short of someone who is willing to work towards them all. Was it messed up you can unlock all mythic WS? i saw no one complaining back them.
