Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

Yes, so people can spam it 50 times in the first week, have all the gear, then rage about "nothing to do".

Award-winning idea, this one.

better than people quitting because they can only play the game one day a week. i would rather gear be like the original in 1.0 with a short 15 min lockout after completion and a low drop rate than the current design.

No, its not better than ppl getting all the gear in 2 days then quitting because they have nothing to do, not just one thing to do per X time.

The gap between content updates is going to be smaller form here on out, so forced pacing won't be as necessary (hence no lockout on the dungeon runs).

EVERY MMO UNDER THE SUN has some kind of lockouts or limits on content to prevent the content from being "used up" faster than they can develop it. It is useless to complain about it as if it's only something that happens in this game and that people quit because of it, because it just isn't true. If you don't like it here, you won't like it in any other MMO in existence.

For end game content? Many of them actually. Even WoW does. Many major raids/end game content in mmo's have a week long lockout. In a fact a week is standard and usually the lockout ends on the weekly maintenance day.

Except we don't have a normal weekly maintenance, we have maintenance whenever the Japanese have problems, and then SE says the heck to Na/Eu players we have to cater to our people and make the game appealing to them. :c

That doesn't really matter, the point is that a week long lockout is rather common.

Besides WoW, what else? I've been playing mmos for 13 years. Never played wow and never seen a week long lockout.

24hrs, 48hrs yes.
