When you have 5-6+ pieces of content dropping BIS gear. It does not matter anymore. Because yes Monday has lockout, but you still have valid content for T, W, TH, F and so on.

We have 1 event dropping BIS gear in XIV, and it is behind a lockout that is the problem. If SE is going to keep all BIS gear in 1 piece of content they cannot have a 1 week lockout.
Yeah, this is primarily the problem. There is literally only one thing to do once you are nearing or near BIS (which thanks to soldiery and hunts, isn't hard to do). After that it's just "do this one raid". SE needs to stop this fast vertical progression crap and spread stuff out along a bigger variety of content.
