First off, not sure if someone already brought this up in the past (too many posts to care to look for it). this is just my thoughts and feelings twords, what i call SE's cop out to the hype of multi-week resets, and doing nothing with it.

I read there reasoning, and on there side, sounds valid. Try to keep the game from rifting and tearing the public into factions. SADLY, and they don't seem to realize that this is/has always been here since launch day. If you look at shouts and what not, in any key end game areas, all you see are 2 sides to what people are trying to do event/instance wise
1 Elitist, these people are not bad people, they just think differently then most, they love the game, they also love the fact they can make things easier and faster, threw experimenting. Leading to the fact, that they want nothing to do with casual gamers.
2 Casual, these people ALSO love the game, but don't play nearly as much as us hardcore players (not saying I'm an elitist, i just play the living crap outta FFXIV). So they tend to just play at there own pace, and mostly just do things they know work and get the job done. Most of the casual players, will have nothing to do with the elitists, cause they dont blend well with game styles.
Not sure what you're trying to say, but I'm guessing you're making multiple posts to fit it all in? It's just easier to type all of what you want before hand, type "Editing......." to meet the lol/10char thing and then just copy/paste it into the edit and voila! You can now haz your entire post in one post.
EDIT: Wow! 15 posts lol... not consolidated at all XD

Kudos for Yoshi-P the dev team, and also SE (if applicable) for trying to make this not happen, but its like a guy trying to put up a caution sign for a wet floor, and slips and falls 200 feet before they get to the point. By having a weekly cap limit, would ensure that elitist wont blow the casuals out of the water gear wise. Looks great on paper (I'm all for equality) BUT horribly fails in function.
A) There are NOT only 2 types of players. Their is in fact a 3rd, i call us (cause i am one) a hybrid. Hybrids are hardcore players, that strife to have the best, and be the best at what we do, BUT we also help out the casual or new players. Reference, a couple times, I would just be in Reverent Toll, doing nothing, or not seeing anything that catch's my eye.
THEN low and behold, someone is shouting for help for there relic quests. I look at the shout, and think, shrug my shoulders and respond to help them. These people know NOTHING of what they are about to encounter. I give the low-down, inform them, and am praised for the knowledge. THAT right there, made my helping them already acknowledged as a good deed, and the rest is like icing on the cake.
Beat Chimera, then help 3 in AK, then reform, kill Hydra and then mow down Ifirit and Garuda (not quite special enough to 100% win titan). When I leave the party, either due to RL events, or realizing, that that group can't win, i would leave. Head held up high, for the fact that i helped 5-7 people get something, and im sure some people had to bride with game money for FREE. So to Yoshi-P and the dev team. RECOGNIZE that we 3rd class of players exist. Not every hardcore player is just out for ourselves.
B) By having a weekly cap for Myth tomes, sure does slow our progress, DOES NOT fix your cop out. IF there were to be no cap? Sure would divide the community (which is already horribly divided anyways) but your also hurting us hardcore and hybrid players.
Guess I'll pop some popcorn while waiting for this to finish.
We HAVE to have the best of the best we can get our hands on. Waiting 16-19 weeks (if relic +1 is in the picture) for AWESOME gear for 1, that's right "1" job? I LOVE my 3 classes i have, MNK WAR and BRD, so in turn, i have to wait 48-57 weeks to have them all geared? WOW, that righ there is so disheartening, makes me wanna rip my hair out, trying to figure out what i want to try and pimp out first.
C) IF weekly cap was taken away permanently. Would NOT divide the community (AS stated before, it already is) BUT in turn strengthen it. This would happen in 2 ways. 1) Would encourage EVERYONE to get ALL the gear for ALL there classes. 2) would also make it easier for the casual gamer to acquire said items. IF there was no cap limit, and they keep the rates of Myth tomes from the areas right now.
Would take someone approximately 187 RUNS to fully gear 1, just ONE, job class, in AF1+1 and Hero accessories (this also does not include the 900 myth tomes you need for +1 relic weapon). NOW I'm sure your thinking how in the hell would causal gamers, that are not geared appropriately to run the places, to access this marvelous gear, and acquire it in time faster then weekly caps, NOT all casual gamers only play for a couple hours a day, maybe, just MAYBE they only play for a couple hours 5 days out of the week means they work too much, or have something going to were they cant. This doesn't mean, they don't have access to a FULL day of the game, and if that was the case, and they put the nose to the grind stone, and burn it up with the hybrids, or elitists, would gain tomes in a VERY fast manner, just like we do, though maybe more carried, but still getting them none the less (I have a few casual friends, I try and help out whenever I can, if needed).
edit your first post to get pass the 1000 words limit
can't you edit first post to put everything you want to say at once (remove character limit)?
D) This is my selfish side (We all have one, if you say you don't, your lying to yourself). I WANT THE BEST DAMN GEAR I CAN GET MY HANDS ON DAMN IT! By saying this, im more talking about the tear we all face. Most of us player, that have been here since launch, have leveled multi-jobs, and most like me love all the ones that we have leveled. The weekly cap, only does one thing for us, tear us apart trying to figure out just what jobs to max out, gear wise, first. IF this cap wasn't the bane of our existence, we would freely choose what items to get, WHENEVER we feel like.
Ending comments.
I feel that the weekly cap for Myth tomes is only a hindrance in my job loving progression. I have multiple jobs that I love to death. Wish like hell I don't have to pick ONE to gear out before others. I feel that to us players that want NOTHING but the best for what we do? We are penalized, for the sake of a cheap and cop out, and weakness showing management. The fact WE 2/3 the people that PAY MONEY! to play this game, are held back on the notion that "It will divide the community" that is and will always be, DIVIDED, is just absurd. SURE and yes, MOST of the casual gamers will be effected, BUT they already are segregated.
I myself, am standing in protest to this "Weekly Cap" and wish nothing more then to cast it aside and say "FREEDOM!" cause after all, in the end, are we not supposed to be happy playing this game? Are we not paying for a service? "I" say we banned together, and PROTEST this cap. WE all are thinking this, and want this, even the casual gamer, will red this and more then likely nod there head, cause this. EVEN they don't/have the time to hit cap. Not trying to be that guy, but some people that play this game don't have the time WE "hardcore" (insert Hybrid) players do. So why penalize EVERYONE?
This is me just thinking at work, and now putting it to the forums. -bows out and waves-
Actually it seems like post 15. I feel this has been a waste now. *eats popcorn in sadness*
this is just me ranting and raving about there being a Myth tme weekly cap. Sorry if its long winded, and not gonne :Bite sized it, that all there so have "Fun Sized" with it lmao
Can you just edit your first post and put that in there then? It will make everything much easier to understand and people will know your purpose straight away.Quote:

As much time and effort as you've put into the posts we've read it all a hundred times before, and the simple answer is "2.1".
I feel like it's September all over again. All the classic complaints are back in this new compilation by K-TEL!
It's like he's tweeting.
