No, this is what happens when you remove weekly raid lockouts. People spam till they get the gear they want and never return. If we didn't have a weekly loot lockout, CT would be a barren wasteland right now. You've got it flipped backwards.

How does this make any sense at all? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you're saying that if people got locked out completely after a single run, there would be more people running the content than the current system? There are constantly more CT runs in the Party Finder on Cactuar than there are Coil runs so please explain your logic to me because it makes absolutely no sense.

If you're trying to say people would have all the gear from CT already then you clearly have been getting very lucky in CT. I have friends that have ran it 20+ times in a single week and not gotten the drop they wanted. Not to mention, without the lockout you would not win every greed roll and there would also be a lot less opportunities for greed rolls unless you run exclusively with your FC which a lot of people don't do.

Who do you think is still running with your friends 20+ times a week? People with extremely goodwill?

For how long?

Once we are saturated, who will help the newer players 6 weeks from now? These days, people don't run CT at goodwill. If their isn't something to be gained people don't do it.

I think it depends on your job as well. Even if I randomly decide to run one on Sunday, I still get in via DF within minutes if I run it on War.

im pretty sure 60-70% of the population aren't that hardcore.

I did all the CTs I wanted on the first day of reset(aka monday). Most of my FC does. I'm sure we are not alone in that practice.

Aside from spiritbonding and tomes that will become obsolete (to a degree) in march there is no reason to run this raid (lol) more times than it takes to get your piece of gear. Not only that but the dungeon is extremely easy and not very gratifying because there is no challenge, in my opinion. That said, as the week goes on past Monday there will gradually be less and less people doing CT due to lack of incentive. Additionally, when Coil 1-5 gets nerfed and becomes available in DF, and if the loot lockout is removed like they hinted it would be, then you can pretty much expect people to stop running CT all together.

CT gear could be good for Mirage Prism

I have no issues with CT.. Did it all morning
