To all those ANTI loot lockout people I say this.

[Sapphic]

Exactly what else is there to do? Because I don't see anything to do besides leveling other classes (which you won't be able to play/gear up due the lockouts, so it's redundant) and running the same two dungeons for the 100th time.

Last time I checked, CT wasn't the only content coming with 2.1.

You'll have Beastman dailies, Crystal Tower, 1 new dungeon + 2 HM dungeons. FC housing, dungeon roulette, PvP plus 3 extreme primals.

Ok, lets look at if they removed loot locks.

Week 1
Monday clear Coil, cap Myth
rest of the week farm CT for drops.

Week 2.
Monday: Clear coil, cap Myth
Tuesday: Whine on the forums because they got all the drops they wanted from CT the week before "and theres nothing to do".

BRILLIANT! (sarcasm)

In regards to the poster about WoW. None of that was in for months after release, ya know, it took time to create. Molten core was turned off for a while at launch because it was exploitable, very limited dungeon options at "end game" and only PvP was crossroads, Hillsbrad zergs. Also levelling to cap in WoW at launch took time, lot longer than FFXIV.

I'm sure The devs would love to be able to make massive amounts of content in a minute. Reality doesn't work that way tho.

I've been MMOing since EQs launch and many Ive played have been at launch and practically none of them have launched with massive amounts of content. Generally with the older MMOs everything took a huge investment of time to achieve thus giving the team a lot more time to implement more content before the present one was consumed.

Now with the general MMO players attitude, especially amongst the so called hardcore, they want everything now! Yet complain that when they have it in such a short time that new content isn't added yet, they complain.

Content is consumed at a over accelerated rate as it is now, yet people want to be able to consume it even faster whilst complaining theres nothing to do. Sad thing is, they can't see the problems that would cause past the "I want it NOW!" attitude.

only CT (with only one floor for now ) and Primals ( also weekly loot locked out -_- ) + Ultima arma are worth it ..... it won"t last for 2 month .....

ps: i don't think we don't want evrything now, we want to play the pace we want to , with spicier content ,not easy to clear and without a super long lockout to keep us entertained...., everyday .

I know they mentioned the weapon quest, but the accessories too?

In your opinion.

I'm looking forward to all of it, all of it is "worth it" if it's fun to do.

they have just talked about weekly lockout loot, that mean every loot i guess .
we still have one week before the next Q&A.

@sapphic and ye in my opinion ^^'.

ps: for me it's fun to do when i had to give all my will and reflexes into it due the difficulty or/and boss mechanics with a possible super great reward at the end of the tunnel .

[Nihility]

the only thing that bothers me about it is, there's 3 bosses so you can assume it's probably 2 chests per boss per group.
And since people will just be duty finder'ing it what is keeping people from just going "seeya!" when they get a piece of a loot?

an organized team won't do that but randoms most certainly will

Between Myth, XM Primals, and CT, You'll be able to fully gear an alt in (mostly) i90 in 4 weeks. Are you telling me that said content won't last long enough for people to gear 2 alts?

If there was no lockout, then you would be right, it wouldn't last 2 months, because everyone would gear an alt a week and have all 8 alt classes in mostly i90s in 8 weeks.

ps: i don't think we don't want evrything now, we want to play the pace we want to , with spicier content ,not easy to clear and without a super long lockout to keep us entertained...., everyday .

If you want to play every day, then don't clear everything as quickly as possible on Monday.

[Reyki]

it wont last because we will be bored about caps ...........
paying for only few hours per week ......
we're not dupe....
it not my fault if we can clear BCOB t1 => t4 in less than hour ....we are actully on try on t5 ( with some gear issue) , but when we will down it (soon), what shall we do to end the week ?

[Babydoll]

I don't mind cool downs on content..if it is time consuming and such.

I remember not that long ago, in 1.0 days Yoshida said we would have 24 man content that would take 3~4 hours to complete. Is this CT? o.O

At least in FFXI when Dynamis was on CD we could do Limbus...when that was on CD we could do ZNM..etc. In this game there isn't much to do yet. However most MMO are pretty bad when they first come out. Not sure if I am a fan the direction this game is going but like I kept saying..gonna give it a year and see how it turns out.

The only way I can see them circumventing this problem is if the loots dropped only after the dungeon ends. If that isn't the case, I'm prepared to stay out of CT. What you just said is definitely going to happen. The chances of a full CT clear is going to never happen. Especially with the fact that you will need to depend on AT LEAST 16 other uncontrolled variables to not just get loot and bail as well.
