I'm a fanboy of people being smart. You aren't forced to run AK over and over. You force yourself to run AK over and over.

You claim to be good, go to Coil. i90 gear drops in Coil. Don't raid the forums.

/goodbye

"Hot fix to raise cap drops on the 14th"
"Patch 2.1 drops"
"Patch 2.2. drops"

Yeah myth cap is > 300, philo is easier to obtain, people are IL 80+ pugging Crystal Tower in the DF and BC Turn 5 goes down all over the place.

"You come back"
"LFG Blah"

/"No way, your still in DL, go gear up"

Oh wait, Game designers already address this problem in the HOTFIX coming in less then 24 hour time

So lets make 1000000 threads about how AK is the only place to get myth tome, the cap is too low and it takes 4 months, and everything else evolved around it.

I don't really get how people sub for a month, then quit 30 days before the end game patch comes out.

Imma go way out on a limb here and claim that you're severely overestimating the amount of people that are running Coil at this time.

this game released end of August. In November (less then 3 months after release) a major update is already arriving with new content and new ways of obtaining tomes. Maybe a cap increase is around the corner soon after the update and we don't know yet. Most probably trash mobs will be used to increase the number of tomes dropped per instance with the fix implemented today. I mean, let's be honest, I don't think there is much room for complaining.

Of course if you want an AF+1/Allagan set for every job NOW, MMORPG not the right place for you. And, OP, think for one second, EVEN if you actually GOT all your equip by tomorrow, what would you do with it? I'll tell you what I think you would do: come here and say you're gonna quit cause not enough content to be done.

heh. even if the forum might make it sound differently, I highly doubt most of the playerbase is even anywhere near lvl 50 yet. the level-curve of this game is obviously a little higher because of the majority of legacy players having at least 2-3 classes/jobs at 50, but even if htey act that way, they aren't the actual majority of players. even the majority of 1.0 players probably aren't lvl 50 yet. and obviously the people who are 50 on the new servers aren't the majority, either, even though it may feel that way (when you are 50 yourself you naturally mostly do what lvl 50s do, so you get a slightly distorded view of the grand scheme)

skimmed thread, might have already been posted, but. ..

They have already said they will raise myth cap and increase tome drops as more content is introduced.

Also you can get ilevel 90 gear from coil. soon you will be able to get ilevel 80 gear from crystal Tower too, which will be fine for coil. You need l literally never Farm tomes again.

welcome to MMO gaming

What a poor attempt at being sarcastic. I'm not going to even bother explaining why your points make no sense. instead i'll give you the numbers:

An original game design with an endgame currency that can be gained from one single source only at a rate of 12 ish% of the weekly cap per hour (factory the DF queues), while said weekly cap is about 5% of the total currency needed to complete the gear set is suicidal game design.
