Dear SE, Yoshi, etc, remove Coil lock outs. Right now.

[Synestra]

That is, when you clear a turn, no matter what loot drops and whether you win the loot, only your first weekly clear is allowed loot.

No, lockouts are staying for the ten pages worth of reasons already stated.

With above suggestion everything would be pretty much how it is now except you could spam turns to help FC members or just for fun. I would do alot coil2 even if i have been lootlocked as there really aint that much else to do atm besides Novus grind, hell i would propably do some turns with my dragoon for a change.

I think it's funny how in earlier pages of this thread, people complain that removing the lock out would suddenly make people log in less.
News flash, I know several people and linkshells who log in to do their Coil 6-8, bang around at 9 one evening, and not log in at all for the rest of the week for any other purpose. Not even to socialise.

Yep, pretty much. The game right now is pretty much dead, social-wise. Most people are AFK and log to do DL or dailies and then log out.

Truly an immersive experience this mmorpg, eh.

I find this to be completely untrue.

[KenzieLynch]

Okay, I'll get straight to the point. snip.

I would tell you to look for a different MMO...but guess what? Most of them have caps on new raids. If you can't find anything else to do in this game then the problem most probably lies with you.

Sure there is kinda lots to do specially if you dont play that much, but for those whose main focus is raiding there aint that much to do. Our FC is pretty much filled with raiders and nolifers only, some of them have leveled all classes and other half just focus on 1-2 jobs because whats the point in leveling if you dont ever use said classes? crafting is also kinda pointless besides culinary so again whats the point in leveling those. So in the end there are not many players online besides animus/novus grinders in our FC after weekly reset because everyone has done things that intrest them already

Everyone likes diffirent things, things you might like might bore me to death an vice versa.

Yup. This is what my GF and I have been doing lately...as well as all of our friends/FC/LS mates. There isn't anything to do.

At least they should allow you to run it again with a different class. Got the loot with my tank? I'll run it now as a healer.

Lockout in this game is much more severe then in other MMOs because classes are tied to the one character you have. On WoW I would run it as a tank, then switch to the healer character and run it again. 4 classes, 4 runs and I would keep all my week busy. It would be like other MMOs locking your entire account for the week. SE can't see this big flaw in their design. The way FFXIV handles classes is different from how others handle it so the same system doesn't work on here.

I can't believe they're discouraging the very thing I liked most about this game, changing classes on the fly.

Well, then I have to ask: if your primary interest is raiding, then why on earth would you choose FFXIV as your MMO?

Personally I adore the game, but lets face it every MMO has it's strengths and it's weaknesses and raiding was never going to be one of FFXIV's main selling points. Choosing to subscribe to an MMO in which your primary interest is one of the game's weakest features, and then complaining that there is nothing for you to do, is borderline idiocy.

Says who? I don't recall the game being advertised as a fishing simulator or MMO crafter?

I think you missed the memo where Yoshi stated the game begins at 50. You'd have to be an idiot, borderline or otherwise, to translate that as something other than raiding/dungeon-bashing.

It's a Final Fantasy MMO. It was always going to be fairly casual with an emphasis on grinding over raiding.

It would be like me subscribing to Guild Wars 2 for it's story, then complaining on the forums about how much the levelling sucked and that I had no interest in WvsWvsW PVP.
