Why do Beast Tribe quest from ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood affect daily?

Moderator gods move this if needed but I did not see a section for Beast Tribes!

So whenever a new currency comes out the cap is raised but somehow trying to catch up on ARR or prior expansion Beast Tribe rep for the mounts is somehow goes against your daily total?

Is there any reason this is a thing? The only reason you would grind these is for the mounts or is someone at Square worried about people farming these for super old materia?!?!?

Suggestion:
Make only the most current expansion Beast Tribes count toward the dailies or create separate caps for each expansion like 12 per. It is artificial time gating for older mounts that has no reason to really exist.

Lockouts help prolong your play time and thus help prolong your subscription time.

well they also make the beast tribe mounts available via the irregular moggle tome event they have once a year as well.

I do think we're a bit overdue for an increase in daily allowances for these quests, to be honest. It used to be 6 per day but was increased to 12 back in HW, if I recall.


Post-ARR tribes only let you spend 3 allowances per tribe per day anyway, so IMO that's already enough of a bottleneck on rep grinding.

Why put a daily limit on it at all? Just let people do 3 quests from each tribe each day if they want.

Same reason old treasure maps are on the timer and the dungeons aren't unsyncable.

Artificial gating.

Yep, also the same reason levequests aren't unlimited even though SE has moved away from them this expansion.

The limit made sense initially, back in ARR when each tribe had a lot more quests available every day. Starting in HW there were only three quests per tribe per day though. The reason for the limit has LONG since passed. Keep the 6 per day limit on the ARR tribes if you want keep the duration of the grind intact, but free up everyone else. I feel bad for new players who need 6 months of dailies to max everything at this point.

There is a lot more than mounts.

I’m not against removing or raising the limit. Each tribe besides ARR has a 3 quest (6 when you gain a level) limit anyways.

Since they don’t sell gear there is little basis for people pretending they are “required”.

"It is artificial time gating for older mounts that has no reason to really exist"

Mounts you could easily obtain with a handful of moggle tomes if you wanted.

What makes you think the mounts are the only reason to do the Beast tribes? If you only these quests for the rewards, then you deserve all the grind you get..
Why should the older beast tribes be treated differently than the newer ones?

Honestly I wish they would up the reward for ARR tribes to match HW and others... as it it just takes WAY too long to get the ARR tribes to max... I’m not even going to bother with them since the only thing they offer of interest is the mounts. Even then the mounts are not particularly interesting unlike some of the other beast race mounts.

Like, I was maxed when dwarves came out,but if you’re saying I can have a tank in a matter of weeks..I’m all in!

A goobue after a month of grind...ehh...Or I could just grind Mogtomes when it pops.

Ideally the lockouts should have been just an cap that is the same for everyone and increases daily, so that latecomers and people with limited days possible to play the game don't get shafted.
