I planned on gearing alt jobs with CT, but in the end I will get them geared faster and to higher gear levels from just myth grinding in the new higher cap and from continuing to run coil after main jobs are geared.

CT has no purpose with this kind of lockout other than to do a quest. It's disappointing, but luckily a lot of other cool stuff is added in 2.1. I am safely able to ignore CT and Housing and continue to enjoy the game at the moment.

Call me back when CT doesn't have stupid lockout rules.
