Communal outcry against sub-prime gear lockouts

[zaldana]

OP I am sorry but what is locking anyone from attaining level 70 DL gear? The only gear "locked out" weekly is Coil and Ilvl90 tome gear . . . All other gear can be attained with only the input of time and effort . . .

Nothing, OP would rather skip i70 and head to i80 even though i70 only takes 4-9 runs per item no lockout. He thinks that if they remove the lockout from CT, he will want to run CT 4-9 times per item.

And what's the point of putting a lockout on gear that is not the best? I can understand coil having the bs weekly lockout, but why CT? Who would want to do CT more than once if they're not going to get rewarded after they get their item for the week?

There is no point. I'm just stating the obvious. OP wants to skip plain and simple. SE doesn't want you to skip. I imagine i80 being = i70 craft 5x meld. There is nothing stopping people from getting i70 craft 5x meld except time and effort. No lockout. If you look at the 'hardcore' players they most are not in DL, they are in 5x i70 melds if not i90 in the slot. Heck most i70 5x meld jewels are better than i90. No such lockout. In 2.1, all recipes will be 9 philosophy items = 1125 tomes. So 12 runs (15 min run = 3 hours) and 5x meld you can have a jewel better than i90. No lockout, just time and effort.

Like others have stated you can do 99.9% of all content in full DL (- Coil turn 5)
