That isn't dedication or spending time, that's just waiting for the event to become available again.
    Why should people be forced to do something other than the event they enjoy? If they want to do coil every 24 hours and they have time to gear 7 jobs they should be able to do that. Being forced to either not play at all or do something you do not enjoy is poor design. The solution on the player end is to level 7 characters. But if that is what is required, why even have the ability to change jobs?

    And dynamis and limbus gear was good and useful for years and years, not six months when it became obsolete. Different thing entirely. Eventually XI at 75 cap had so many events, almost all of them worthwhile due to the horizontal gear progression, the lockouts were irrelevant. In this game the lockouts ruin you, because you can only collect so much gear before it is obsoleted by the next patch.

    Oh right. I'm sorry, i forgot SE locks your account out of the game the instant you have 300 Myth Tomes and a Coil Lockout.

    Nope, just doesn't allow you to do anything. Same thing, different presentation.

    It's a pretty arbitrary lock-out put in place to entice players to pay the higher subscription fee as I see no other reason as it just gives the game less content to partake in.

    And how could i forget that everything prior to reaching Coil simply ceases to exist. I must have been imagining those crafting and gathering classes, those other Jobs i haven't leveled and other such things. Totally all in my head.

    Oh, so we finally come out of the closet eh? Took you long enough.

    If you *only* play MMOs for raid content, find an established MMO with a long list of content patches/expansions. We haven't even had our first major content patch.

    Just because you only want to do Bahamuts Coil to the exclusion of all else, doesn't mean the rest of the playerbase needs to suffer stupid changes such as forcing me to play a specific class to get Tomes for it.
    The option to have multiple characters exists. Just as the option to Gather or Craft exists. Just because you don't like the options, doesn't mean they're bad options.

    The system as it is works perfectly fine. It requires you to dedicate your Myth Tomes to one class until it's full geared in Myth stuff. Though you can 100% gear it in Darklight/Relic and still clear Coil.
