FFXIV: The 1 Job at 50 Monday night raiding 8 man FC game.

Ok, here's the thing.

The lockouts are a temporary and artificial way to gate progress and extend content.

Yeah, they suck, and I understand why you're frustrated.

However, if the lockouts weren't there, most of you wouldn't even be logging in on Monday's anymore. You'd have gathered all of the gear you wanted and ditched the game until the next patch.

It's temporary. It sucks, but it's their artificial way of extending the 'content' until they have time to build up a decent amount of real content.

If there was no lockout, I would be logging in still to help people who didn't rush it in the first month.

In the scenario where there is a lockout, I play Monday's and not at all for Tuesday-Sunday.

You can still help people, just not in coil right now.

B-b-but I don't get a chance to gear my classes out in BiS gear then!!!

[Azurus]

B-b-but I don't get a chance to play with anyone else at all in this content without screwing over the 7 I have been running it with!!!

fixed that for you

We created a Linkshell and invited nice and helpful people. We always have someone that are whiling to help or to just play together, because it happens sometimes that most of us are busy already or aren't online. We create some nice in-game friendships and possible alliances for progression and pretty much everything. If you don't want to think out the box, then you will still have trouble with almost in games.

once all those nice and helpful people are staticed up with the odd men out from your fc you will still be stuck to your own individual cliques...i dont see how that solves the problem. All it does is make the problem on a larger scale. A lot of us dont care about gearr!!!!!!! We want to play with other people without screwing over those we have been running with! sure I can just quit my static and start a new one every once in a while, but i happen to enjoy playing with my group a lot. Why should I have to choose who to run with and not be able to help them all equally?

Not quite so with a gear lockout. But let's be honest, SE is simply not capable of creating a gear-locked loot system that would work with coil such that you can't just spam turn 1 over and over until you get what you want.

Who cares if people do?

Does it really break FFXIV if people have a bunch of jobs in Allagan instead of just one?

No, it definitely doesn't. I'm on your side lol. I'd take any other system over a content lockout, whether it's a gear lockout or no lockout at all. This game is boring as ^#&%.

yes we want to get more drg gear from turn 1 that loves to already drop drg gear lol.

Or I could be, you know, gearing up other jobs, since we have this whole "armoury system" thing that's supposed to allow us to play multiple jobs on one character and all. Please don't presume to tell me what I would or should do with my time.
