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

[aray0002]

without myth cap, the whole endgame content will become worthless.

Come on man are you serious ? Every paying customer has the option to create alternate characters. If everyone created a new character for each job class they could run CT and BC on each toon every week allowing them to get every item drop. SE way of allowing you to change your job class by changing your weapon slot.. causes a weekly lock out on CT and BC.

Do you see how asinine your comment is? The game don't end based on having the highest level gear.. it ends with people quitting their subscriptions because they are freaking tired of having to wait 7 days for the next week to reset.

Been saying this the whole time.

Every player is more than welcomed to create an alternative character, the armory system does not make it so that you have multiple characters under a single IGN, it merely allows you to have multiple classes under a single IGN, as such, weekly lockouts naturally applies to the character and not the class. If you're impatient or indecisive and would like to gear up all 8 classes simultaneously, you're always welcomed to create different characters as you've mentioned but it ultimately does not change the purpose and design of the armory system.

There is absolutely no indication to believe that players are quitting because they can't gear up with Myth gear fast enough.

Even if there was no Myth cap, players will still quit, players will still complain that there is 'nothing to do' it doesn't solve anything.

Myth gears are an alternative form of end-game gear, they're not an entry-level gear and by having players able to attain full iLvl90 within 1 single day of playing is utterly ridiculous IMO, I'm not sure who would want such a thing other than the stereotypical american kids who wants everything right now.

If the intent of the Armory system wasn't to gear up all classes at your own rate then why did SE make it so you can't mule items to an alt?

The intent of the armory system is so that players can experience playing all the classes but ultimately, players will still need to decide on a class that they're gonna "main" and gear up first; the armory system is certainly not to circumvent the weekly lockout in place

In other words, the armory system allows you to experience playing multiple classes but players should still decide on a main class or a class they prioritize gearing, it should not be looked upon as having multiple characters with their individual lockouts under 1 IGN, the reason muling to an alt wasn't allowed is in part to discourage RMT and make it more difficult for RMTs to co-ordinate multiple "gil banks" and it has nothing to do with the armory system.

So if I have all crafters at level 50 I can't craft the best gear for an alt, but you expect people to create alts to get a second main character. Why would I want to grind through the whole story again, then grind out enough Philos to get Darklight just to get to the beginning of endgame, when I can do that on my original character?

Well, its a choice you have to make, early end-game gear (iLvl 70) are relatively accessible and players are able to easily gear all of their armory classes in iLvl70 to get up to speed with early end-game content but this obviously comes with the drawback of sharing a single lockout for higher end gear as part of the armory system.

If you primary objective is to defeat the weekly lockout for higher end content, you'll have to put in the effort and time to level an alt character

Its really not that difficult to understand unless what you want is simply to get the best gear right now

p.s. if you're mainly interested in gearing your secondary class fast, you could get a static coil party and establish loot distribution so that you can get the pieces you need for your secondary class even when you aren't running coil with that class.
