There shouldn't be a Myth cap because.....

How did you folks survive in previous MMOs?

The majority of previous generation MMOs had raid lockout timers and you also had to deal with RNG while playing with 20-30 people all looking for similar drops.

If anything, you can make more guaranteed progress in this game than you can in the vast majority of prior MMOs. Not only that, but now that EX Primals are out you have more options for being able to gear up your characters as well with multiple i90 items.

I do agree that a full week lockout is a bit much, but when you consider that the Coil lockout is for an eight man group it kind of makes sense. You're that much more likely to get an upgrade that week as opposed to in a previous MMO's full raid with a three day lockout.

It's a balancing act and obviously the developers aren't going to be able to satisfy everyone while ensuring the longevity of their game.

Those lockouts have nothing to do with legacy players and entirely with pacing of the end-game so that people don't just cap at each 2.x patch and then leave for a couple of months. Every MMO has this to some effect or another.

It isn't? Oh I must have misread the info from Yoshi when he said that it was set up for casuals to not get left behind.
