How exactly does no lockout help people who don't run CT 100 times a week?
The hardcores are already on level 90 gear... giving them level 80 gear for side jobs won't make a difference.

I think I'm an odd example of this. I have four jobs in DL + relic, the CT lockout hurts me badly because I'm so far behind the hardcores and level 80 is all I'd be able to get. I've been done Coil for three weeks and I've made it past T2 only one time, and got two pieces (one for main job and another for DRG, lol).
