    They have the cap so you can't hoard the tomes.
    I think most of us get that. I still don't think there would be much harm in at least bumping the cap up by another 1k or so.

    With the whole 1500 tome books (75% of the maximum capacity) being a frequent buy + how much easier it is to get myth now since 2.3 (particularly with potential bonus myths as a first-timer bonus from duties that you might not necessarily be able to anticipate, like with trials roulette which must be queued solo), it's quite a lot easier to overshoot the cap by accident and waste myth.

    Yeah, I don't think an extra 1k would ruin things. On the plus side now though if you overshoot your myth, once you spend it it's easier to get more. Honestly I am not against a cap increase, I just don't think SE will be budging on it.

    On another note even if someone could save up 13.5k myths, the atma book system still only lets you do one at a time at any point.

    Maybe there will be a chance of the cap being removed once SE determines that myth gear is mostly outdated.

    I'd fully expect that, once 2.4 comes in Myth will no longer exist, just like Philosophy no longer exists. So the new "unlimited" tomes will be Soldiery, capped at 2000, and a new 450 per week tomes to collect for the next tier of gear. Any myth that you do have will likely convert to Soldiery, so sitting on more than 2000 myth at any time will let people purchase a lot of Soldiery immediately. If they did increase the Myth storage cap, they'd have to make the conversion higher than it was for Phil to Myth.

    That's the reason why they probably won't raise the cap. Keeping it fairly low (2000 is easy to get in the current game), means that those who don't have the time to do their duties every day and have much less Myth aren't put too far back when the new patch comes in.
