So everyone better to be ready to see ilvl90 only for everything.

Until the next set of Coil is released with even higher tier gears in probably 2.4 since they're going by 2.2 coil, 2.3 CT, 2.4 Coil, 2.5 CT, and so on.

but with 2 year per expansion plan we will probably see CT finished before 1st expansion is released which would be around 2.5 or 2.6.

So every new tier we're just going to get more tomes? Are we ever going to have RNG?

Coil/CT RNG not enough for you?
Tomes allows you to gear up even if RNG screws you over every time.

SE stated that there won't be RNG besides the lots on items. RNG at end game on EVERY mmo using it is just a 0.01% grind fest and is plainly boring. The actual community of mmos don't want that anymore

I never ever want to see RNG in an MMO ever again, had enough of it. Being able to get tomes to work up to getting different armour/weapons is a lot better than 0.01 drop rate, coil drops are perfectly fine too, I love the way SE has gone with this and I really hope they keep this up.

I would prefer they make these tomes for highest tier items a bit harder to get if RNG will never be a part of this game. Instead of limiting the amount you can get per week. Make it harder to farm.

I would prefer them not adding more and more new tomes...

I'm up for all new tomes until we eventually get the Allagan Tomestones of Yoshida they mentioned.. haha we'll have 10 kinds of tomes I wonder how long the screen would look like~

Have you NEVER played an MMO in your life ever? Old gear gets invalidated or replaced with new gear when new content is released. That's what happens. Oh my god, how hard is this for people to understand?

People have been running around with iLvl90 Myth gear for six months, it's not unfeasible for Square to implement new gear and make the old gear easier to get. I'm sorry, but fresh players (Especially PS4 players and new hardcore players that join the player base) aren't going to want to have to sit on their hands for months to obtain all the Myth Tomes they need for a full set of iLvl 90 gear. Getting rid of the myth cap is good for the player base. New, better gear and harder dungeons for hardcore players that will have to be done in a weekly grind, easier to obtain old gear for casuals and new hardcore players that can be snatched in a week or so from Roulette runs.

Think about it, if you came into an established MMO and then had to grind out restricted weekly items in low level dungeons just to be able to even access *some* of the harder end game content (not even the newest content), you'd probably be pretty annoyed at the game.

Welcome to the life cycle of non-expansion content patches. Be glad SE is doing non-expansion content patches *at all.* We could have just had Vanilla ARR until the first expansion came out and everyone would be bored.

Square can't win in this situation. Either they're catering too much to casuals, or they're making the game boring and the endgame content inaccessible to hardcore players without pointless grinding that no one wants to do. Pick a side and stick with it.

Can't hardly wait!
