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

[ScummyGuy]

You lost all your credibility with this statement right here.

Oh no! Take it as you want. 90% of all the Garuda EX fails have been due to tanks. I'm sorry I use the term dodge. Dodge, avoid, burn CDs, whatever you want to call it, it is usually the tanks fault. I understand fails do happen, but when the MT dies repeatedly to WW, who else is there to blame for the fail?

Fixed that for you.

Who is the majority then?

If you feel that way then I'm sorry. I'm not asking for anything free, but I do want gear progression. I could level every other job to 50, grind out dailies for Philosophy tomes, and gear up everything in Darklight, but that isn't going to help me get any further into end game. Every other game I've played, you can control how fast you gear up. I've never seen game mechanics that prevent you from obtaining gear.

I would, if I had the Myths to gear it up. Not going to waste my precision Coil loot on a third job.

Myths to gear it up? So, you just want to skip right over DL armor and jump right to being top tier once you hit 50? Other people have done this, and they seem to not know how to dodge wheel on Garuda Ex. But really, what is the point of all the elitists here crying cause they cant max their gear in a week? Seriously, this would be the worst thing for the game as a whole. There is already a significant enough gap between casual decent players and those who seem to fill up party finder. If you get your way, it would be nothing but min req of ilvl 90 for all parties, because if you played well, you would already have full myth gear. Plus these ilvl90 parties would do nothing but wipe anyways, cause spamming speed runs and capping gear would not magically gain the skill needed to dodge extreme primal mechanics.

[Pylfer]

if there was no cap there would be no players as everyone would have had everything in the game from 2.0 in a month and then would have had everything from 2.1 in about two weeks.

You are crazy. Caps are there so that you don't blow your load and then just leave cause you played yourself into boredom. Yes it artificially extends the life of end game but seeing how the game isn't even 6 months old yet you can't be serious about wanting everything already.

How does a lockout make you work more for the gear?

WoW. Another game, and quite popular still from what I understand. They also put a cap on how quick you can earn the top level gear. So, now the crying can stop. FFXIV is NOT the only game that feels that people should not be able to gear up quickly just because they have no life.

Every other game I've played, you can control how fast you gear up. I've never seen game mechanics that prevent you from obtaining gear.

Really? Every game I've played has had gating mechanics of one kind or another at end-game (real end-game, not group based stuff we have here) that prevented you from ensuring you could get your absolute best gear as fast as you wanted.

Raid dungeons and raid bosses had lockout timers (not as long as here usually, but at least twenty four hours) and they also dropped a limited amount of gear while requiring many more people than we need here for i90. And a lot of games are still RNG based while offering tokens to ease the RNG pain but not alleviate it completely.

Again, a three day lockout to have a fight that ends up dropping ~4 pieces of gear with maybe 1-2 of those being a potential upgrade and having to RNG/DKP it out amongst 24 people means you can potentially go much longer without seeing an upgrade than we have here.

You are guaranteed an upgrade every week here.

The games I played to end-game in in the past I could go a month without an upgrade if I was unlucky. But I kept going anyway because I was helping other people catch up.

I would if 75% of the tanks would learn how to dodge wicked wheel.

dodge WW as tank?

Yeah, this DPS has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
A tank attempting to get away from ww equates to kiting, as it is not consistently x seconds after friction.
Opening the window to unforunate facing slipstreams, etc.
That's like saying a main tank in T5 needs to "dodge" death sentence. Hah.
Yes, i know it is ideal to avoid via conflag, the point stands.
