Get over yourself the game isn't built around those who have hours and hours to play the game loot lockouts are there to instill a sense of progression into a game. Before you start hating LOTS of successful MMOs who have have loot lockouts take WoW for example you only have one shot in normal/heroic to get a piece of loot to drop and you cannot repeat it at all over the next week, although Flex/LFR you have a shot on your first kill to get even a piece of loot but you can repeat it as many times as you want.
Those arguing that it's a lower ilvl then max level content also aren't in the right either as such CT is there for progression for the casual player base, CT is WoW's LFR/Flex equivalent in FFXIV to allow those not in coil static groups to be able to queue up in the time they can play.
This is all a great thing CT allows extra lore and fun into the game for everyone to experience and enjoy. If there was no loot lockout CT would be farmed ENDLESSLY by people in the first week of release and they'd all be geared and wouldn't step foot into the content ever again.
Loot lockouts are there to extend the life of a piece of content and forces players to spend less time in the game and more on their lives in general by avoiding the opportunity to farm the gear all together, in which your friends/family are grateful for.
To all those ANTI loot lockout people I say this.

I'm pretty sure since we're all paying to play this game.
Folks don't wanna log on only a few days a month. -
12-07-2013, 03:32 PMDjeseritFunny, didn't realize the game logged you out and prevented you from logging back in once you get a piece of gear/run coil for the week.Quote:

Not everything has to be a carrot on a stick, and those that know that they are chasing carrots on sticks and refuse to play unless there is one in front of them are not right in the head.
Because Myth and Coil are the only things to do. Obviously the game is just 1 giant lobby with 1 door labeled "Coil" and another labeled "Myth Grind", and those are your only two options.Quote:

Log out.
Whine on the forums.
Because that's fun.
See? I can do it too!
Variety is the spice of life, you may want to try diversifying.
The fact is lockouts are an extremely common MMO mechanic. If you don't like it then this genre is not for you.
Alternatively, get a job in MMO design and make a game that has a better system. Show them how it's done. -
12-07-2013, 03:34 PMGenesis88Tbh I don't speed run myths and still hit the cap, and coil you can do once a week so... I would do crafting like I did 1.0, but guess what it's useless.Quote:

12-07-2013, 04:19 PMshikarinDon't you know? If you're not leveling all your dow dom doh dol classes, gathering all your own mats, running every dungeon once before repeating a dungeon, running every guildhest, then you're playing this game wrong and you should quit.Quote:
