CT loot lockout and the direction of this game will probably cause our FC to quit

[Bizniztyme]

What the white knights fail to include:

CT IS NOT TOP TIER GEAR

The 1-week restriction is too harsh for sub-prime gear. As it is, you have 2 ways to obtain ilvl 90 gear, tomestones and coil drops. You will only have 1 way to obtain ilvl80 gear, 1 piece a week. So, assuming no ilvl80 goes to your main job, and you have 2 alternate jobs, you're looking at 20 weeks just get them geared in 2nd teir gear. Now what if you have 5 alts? A year.

The problem is the length of the lockout, not that there is a lockout.

inb4 Noahlimits makes another troll attempt.

Another people don't agree with me so they're all white knights, never fails. How about having a civil forum conversation with people that don't agree with you instead of name calling. Isn't that the point of discussion? Unless you expect everyone to agree with you then you sir gots problems.

Loot Lockouts =

You know I just thought about another thing.

Crystal Tower is useable in duty finder and we are allowed to make an 8 man party server side. With the week lockout on loot who is going to want to run it as a static?

It makes running CT as a static nearly impossible (unless 8 people have nothing else better to do). Its not like CoB when you finish if you don't get gear better luck next week. And everyone meets up again.

Crystal Tower isn't going to be static friendly. Once people start getting gear and they cap out on (myth) there isn't an incentive to keep going. Yah they may want to help their other friends get a piece of gear, But are people really going to run Crystal tower over and over and over all week long to get their last member a piece of gear? what if it takes 15-20 runs to get a piece of gear to drop that the last few people need?

And I though Crystal Tower was suppose to be content for FCs to do... Can't make 24 man alliance until after 2.2, Have to run Crystal Tower countless times without any rewards after your piece for the week.


If this isn't a valid argument on why Crystal Tower shouldn't have a lockout then I don't know what is...................

I've got to disagree with this. The loot lockout won't effect static 8 mans in any way unless they wish it to. I personally don't have a problem with running this once a week with our coil group even if I don't need the gear. SOMEONE will need something and I, as well as a huge number of others I would imagine, just want group content to enjoy.

Our FC will do something like CoB 2 nights a week and CT one night a week. People are more than welcome to duty finder CT all day long but why wouldn't you run this as an 8 man every opportunity you got?

Lastly I'm fully supportive of a loot lockout. I personally think its silly to allow someone to run CT literally 24/7 and get an entire i80 set in a day if RNG is on their side. If that was allowed can you imagine how quickly people are going to start clearing Coil?

Week 1: level to 50
week 2: full darklight
week 3: full i80
week 4 and 5: clear turn 5 cause i80 will make it WAY easier.

I'm not interested in seeing the pve content "beatable" in a months time.

I am a hardcore casual who hates every other type of MMO player

Seriously people, before you get in a debate with someone Lodestone them. Majority of these people have zero experience to back up what they are talking about.

The entire point that everyone misses is THIS GAME ADVERTISED and CENTERED itself around the ARMORY SYSTEM.

If this was a game that did not ENCOURAGE multi role/class use on a SINGLE character, then lockouts and abysmal myth tome limits would be a NON issue.

There is NO logical reason to limit play so harshly when you encourage players to play multiple roles/classes on the SAME character.

I am sorry you have no ground to stand on if you think other wise.

I miss the 1.0 community. Not sure why people think you have to be getting better gear every second you're logged on to have fun. This game might not be for you, I hope you find something more your speed. Please stop making these threads.

I wasn't here for 1.0 but I share your sentiment. Imho it all started with badges of WoW. People want gear for doing nothing and they want it now. Its ruining MMO's.

Exactly. The armory system is a major mechanic of the game but they keep adding things that make that mechanic pointless.

you see, it's all about the gear....

[neoreturn]

people wanted content they could play more than once per week and content that lasts

ideally all forms of content fit both of those categories.

currently all ffxiv content falls into one of those categories at most, with a lot of content falling into neither.

I can guarantee you want to play more than once per week on CT since the gear you want will not easy to drop with time.
For example you may want to gear up your tank with full 80. First after 2 run, you may get one piece, second week you may need do 3 run to get the piece you want, more gear you get , less chance you will get the one you real need.
