We already complain now, so people that say "we'll complain anyway" - that isn't a suitable argument. I'm excited to do the extreme primals and Crystal Tower (I guess..) but I can see both and Coils being finished in a few hours after it's "farmed".

I white knighted the **** out of this game before it came out. I'm just let down feeling like I have a wonderful game, with WoW raiding structure that the class system isn't suited for, and it's annoying, sickening. I quit WoW for a reason.
I mean... no... I don't agree with you at all. Your arguing for the short term over the long term. If the Coil didn't have a lock out, then yeah sure.... you would of course play more.... for a week. You would spam T1 over and over and over until you got the pieces you needed. Rinse repeat for T2. T4. Ect. You would do it enough to get yourself and your FC all the gear you wanted and then you would be done, with nothing to do. That is the truth of the matter. Changing the lockout doesn't change the content, it just speeds it up and the more FC members you gear up completely the less they log in anyway. Same results really just more of a cliff than a gradual slope that we have now.

Then yeah, it's working.
I don't feel alienated in FCs. Yes, static groups are currently the norm for Coil, but my FC is made up of people that like to game with me, not just that run coil. If you can't have a FC that sticks it out together because you all like playing, then really they are just playing for Gear anyway and do you really want that kind of person in a FC?

And it IS possible to gear more than one job, even in coil if you are gaming with selfless people. When something drops and no one needs it, you should be good to get that piece. I have more gear than just Monk gear from coil because I have been running with mostly the same group since we started doing Coil. CT will make it even better with i80 gear. Yes it will only be one piece a week, but its there. You can run CT as many times as you want to get that one piece you are looking for. That is how I plan on doing it on MNK. Going again and again to replace those last few pieces of DL until I can get BIS gear.
