Increase DF speeds by setting weekly lockouts per role

[Alukah]

A great example of unintended consequences.

Example listed in the post you only quoted the last line.

" The question is if people are willing to give up the freedom of gear alt classes without actually setting a foot in any content with them (and with a terrible 450 lockout that means you will only gear 2-3 classes max) or people having to earn their gear on different jobs by actually playing them, speeding up the queues AND gear time of different roles."

Congrats you just lost a tank. I frequently cue up as war to farm tomes for my dps jobs. Now I have to cue on mnk or nin to gear those jobs.

This whole idea makes no sense. If you separate the tomes into tank heal dps and must cue on that job then ALL the dps people still cue as dps. Why would a dps guy level a tank to get tank tomes? They want dps tomes. Why would a dps cue as healer when they want dps tomes? All this does is stop people from using their at tanks/heals to farm dps tomes and they now come dps.

You are assuming people who play DPS don't play tanks or healers, with the current system you are extremely limited on how many classes you can play/gear up, which is ironic when the armory system is one of the main attractions of this game.

Besides, people don't play tanks and healers because they DON'T want to play as one, not because they "don't have gear for it". Right now you have ST with ilv100/110 rewards and SCoB is free to farm for 110/115 weapon. The "tank/healer isn't equiped" is a weak argument to begin with. And yeah, like @Izsha said, that is one consequence of different tome types.

The topic is poetic gear, not ST gear.
