Suggestion: replace weekly caps with weekly increases to lifetime caps.

#1) Would you, personally, be better off, worse off, or unchanged with a lifetime rather than weekly currency cap?

#2) Would the game population as a whole be better off, worse off, or unchanged with a lifetime rather than weekly currency cap?

#1 is a loaded question. Sounds more rhetorical than anything. Who wouldn't be 'better off' with increasing the tomes as you state.

#2 I believe worse off. Essentially someone could FATE their way to 50 job after job, get carried and be fully geared simply based on the fact that they waited for awhile, instead of start grinding for tomes right away. You could also be away for awhile for whatever reason and gain this seniority for cap increase, but did nothing to earn it. You could then spam dungeons and next thing you know, you are fully geared like the guy who has been working and grinding from the very beginning. You would also most likely be carried through content with other people who have been grinding since the beginning. You shouldn't be carried and should always pull your weight. Might as well go to CM and afk for awhile.

Someone who already has max tomes and every intention of gaining 300 more per week, every week, would not be better off with the increase that I suggest.

#2 I believe worse off. Essentially someone could FATE their way to 50 job after job, get carried and be fully geared simply based on the fact that they waited for awhile, instead of start grinding for tomes right away.

I don't quite grasp the logical leap from a higher tome cap later in the game to being "carried" and "doing nothing to earn" gear from the tomes. One would still have to do just as many dungeon runs to get the same number of tomes, one simply now has the opportunity to actually do them, rather than having that opportunity lost.

I'm especially amused when you say: "You could then spam dungeons and next thing you know, you are fully geared like the guy who has been working and grinding (read: spamming dungeons) from the very beginning." Yes, I think people should be able to do the same thing and end up just be like each other.
