Level cap increase every 1-2 years.

i want some long term goals and knowing cap will increase soon that makes the only goal getting as many classes to that cap as i can. cap increases should be done on a case by case basis not on a set time frame.

See, here's the problem with long-term goals in MMOs these days. If you've been keeping up with FFXI lately, you'd know how a lot of people are complaining about relic and mythic weapons being not as effective as empyrean weapons, yet relic and mythic weapons take a lot longer to obtain and upgrade. If something takes way too much time to obtain, raising a cap and losing it's effectiveness is much more infuriating. Not the other way around. It's best to avoid replaceable achievements as long-term goals. Levels in classes are not replaceable achievements, but equipment is always replaceable.

that's because people enjoyed questing to get that rare and hard to obtain gear. if the new gear was another long time gear to acquire there would be more hype for it. it was looked down upon because they met the long term goals and then it took no time to get the replacement. see people loved the long term goal/ hard to get item, but didn't like the anybody can get bs ones that replaced them. that is where the problem lied. it wasn't that they were replaced, but how they were replaced.

not rly most ppl i asked before quiting they said the plain fact that they would raise the cap to 99 and make everything before it useless was what rly irked them

but lets just face it SE purposly fucked up 11 just to get ppl to try 14

I know lots of people disappointed with the lvl cap raise too.

I quit long before that, but im sure if I still played I would dislike it.

i asked the same question from people i got basically the same answer except it was they made it to where gear they took forever getting was replaced by something that took basically no time getting. in other words the people that were willing to work hard to get things were forgotten. that's also why people say they will not go back to xi because it is not the same game. it no longer rewards hard work and rewards lazy play.
