Patch 2.57 please?

[Ditto]

The Poetic cap really does need to be removed. There isn't a point in keeping it when everything will be irrelevant 5 or so levels into the expansion. And as others have said, all it's doing is acting as an annoyance to those who still want poetic pieces, especially those who have just returned from a break and haven't been there to cap every week since poetics came out. If not removed, it needs to be at least doubled, or just increased to 1300 a week so that someone can get a weapon a week if they wish. Right now, it's not doing anything for the game or it's players other than acting as a pointless block. So what if the gear will last up to level 55? People will level a bit faster than if they were using weaker gear sure, but for many people, end game is their scene, and I'm more than sure none of this will be relevant at Heavensward end game, which is where everyone will be at, at some point in time no matter how much they play.

Not really, they made World Of Darkness Uncapped too, along with Final Coil. If you don't want to do coil for whatever reason, you can gear your alts with demon gear.

Dreadwyrm gear is hard to obtain, Poetic gear is easy to obtain but your limited to 1 piece a week. That's the tradeoff. Seems fair to me.

Dreadwyrm gear is not that hard to obtain at all. The only parts that can be hard are T12 and T13 if you're pugging, but that's because you're pugging. A lot have 10 through 13 on farm weekly, and they can go at it as many times as they want, as long as they like, until they get what they want. The only real block to getting dreadwyrm gear is RNG. Players lack of ability to do certain things is not a block the game itself is forcing on you, capping the poetics on the other hand, is. And what tradeoff? A lot of the Dread gear is BiS, especially the weapons if you do not have a Zeta. If you throw nothing but Ironworks on yourself, your stats are going to be terribly optimized, whether you're wearing full i130 or not.

The difficulty is not the content itself, once you're on farm status, it's finding a competent group to do it with. That, IMO, is significantly harder than the content itself for at least 90% of the population that do not successfully do Coil raids lol.

Maybe it's just me, and I tend to believe I'm far from the "want want want" type of crowd, but given how close we are to expansion, and the fact that i130 is overkill for it, I really don't see why it needs to happen. Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to feel strong for a little while... and to have for glamour purposes mostly, but the cap isn't a huge deal IMO right now. Maybe it's their way of disciplining their children (us) lol. Sort of like how you deal with a spoiled brat that just cries about wanting something they don't need (not saying you or anyone in particular is a spoiled brat, mind you). I think that'd be pretty funny if that were the case.
