Artifically extended content via arbitrary limits is the bane of every MMO player ever to reach "end-game".

We all hate it, we'll all continue to complain about it, and they'll continue to do it because they'd rather you log in every Monday for 3 hours before you've finished all the content you can benefit from for the week than have you log in every patch for a week or two, you might skip a few months that way.

But yes, I agree the CT/Coil lockout and the Mytho caps are both rather annoying and wish they'd be removed entirely.
