Why does it take a minimum of 2 weeks to get 1 piece of Myth Tome gear?

[Johnist]

but c'mon, 2 weeks to get 1 accessory piece is a little insane.

Sorry to only now get to this, Gaust, but I was a bit busy IRL. My theory is that since they have already stated that it will be eased (Dev Post), and that tonight's maintenance increases the amount that can be acquired, that means the Cap might go up as high as 400 so that you can get 1 Accessory per week. I honestly didn't expect it to rise until 2.1 and the 2 Hard Mode dungeons, 2 Extreme Primals, GKMMXII's Return, and the Crystal Tower were released.

Actually, it's not insane, it's time management. You don't actively need any of that iLevel90 stuff unless you're trying to fight the Coil, which is meant to be faced with an Item Level 80+ to be on par with it.

Edit... Yes, I did have to do that... After all, I'm C'mohn Nunh... Close enough to C'mon... and it is how you non-Miqo'te would pronounce it

artificial padding to the game to prevent you from canceling your sub because they want to extend your game play because obvious lack of content in the game.

I do not see your point if you are saying I'm one of those people?

You are implying that people who want to be able to work *more* to get their gear are asking for welfare. Think about that. The cap serves no other purpose than to block progression. Which is completely understandable, because the game is new. But wanting to be allowed to grind beyond the allotted amount is not welfare.

I thinking slowing progression is fine, but I get really annoyed by people completely misusing words because it's a catchphrase coined by forumites of another game and now applies to "Not doing it the way I think it should be done."

The only person up to this point that "gets it."

Yes, why dont we just give you all the best gear in a couple months... Casual players wanting welfare have ruined mmo's.

And "people" not understanding what constitutes a casual player nor welfare gear isn't helping matters. The tokens still have to be obtained, whether it takes X months because of an artificial cap or X days because of the lack of one, doesn't mean anything about the level of play nor the playtime of a player.

As well, it's not casuals that are ruining MMORPGs, it's idiots.

I'm Sorry, Next time they will just give you the gear and make this game even more casual than it already is. Their mistake.

It's not about lack of content, every MMO does this regardless of quantity of content.

Not quite - you can get gear the hard way by doing coil or the easy way by grinding tomes. Asking for easy way to be made even more convenient is asking for welfare.

Actually its you who doesn't "get it". By slowing the ability to get myth gear it gives an incentive to tackle actual hard content like Coil. If you could just grind out myth gear (equivalent of best gear) quickly by doing a easy content like AK then it is welfare because you are circumventing hard content to get the best gear.

They did this in 1.0 too. It took months to get your Relic... NOT because it was any 'harder', but just because it was more time consuming. It took my linkshell a full month to get everyone their Hamlet seals alone -- and that's just the FIRST step. They gave you a superlong Relic quest to 'keep you busy'.

This is exactly why I think the cap will be increased/changed over time... Because more stuff will be added and the restriction won't be needed anymore. Using my earlier example: getting a relic in 2.0 isn't necessarily 'easier', but it is NOT as much of a time sink as it used to be.

Don't you think it's a little insane that you have to wait 2 weeks to get a ring or a necklace?

No. If you got everything you wanted, you'd unsub. That's the bottom line and I'm not going to hear any nonsense to the contrary.

But I do think that it's boring that there's a point system at all. And only 2 dungeons worth doing, for a total of MAYBE a few hours of repetitive content a week.
