Gearing up is bad

I am watching Xenosys and I agree. I think gearing up takes way to long. 450 tome cap is weak and stupid. Should be able to get 900 tomes a week or just let it hit 2k anytime.

They just need to standardize the amount of books needed for gear at four books per piece.

It doesn't make sense to timegate players who've cleared savage so heavily when they don't necessarily even have something harder to use their shiny new gear on if there's no new ultimate releasing.

Gotta figure out a way to make players stay subscribed for the longest period of time. Can't have players getting their gear too quickly then unsubbing till the next content patch.

Here you go: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...eekly-Cap-Gear

Tomes should be removed. Can't believe in 2022 still using the same formula from 2007 mmos .

Introduce a new system for gear and progression already. 1 decade using the same method.

Why tho'? The progression naturally supports an uplift of simplifying content over months and it's not like you REALLY need it.
Here is something that is truly bad about the system, people that genuinely enjoy the game at a slow pace are being punished each week because the lack of storing mechanics.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Gearing is fine with a combination of raid/crafted and tome gear. the 450 cap works although 600 tomes might be a better cap per week in my view. its designed to be a weekly thing people do and i doubt they'll change it.

They at least reduced the tome weapon number from 1000 to 500 and that was long overdue.

Gearing isn't bad, people are just impatient.

Anyways, i think people have been talking about this for years and the devs aren't ever gonna change this game's formula.

Well you say that but just this savage tier we had the cost of the tome weapon reduced down to 500. Clearly they are capable of adjusting tome prices.
