Poetics Cap Doubled!

[Gilraen]

Now all they have to do is make the weekly Crystal Tower quest give one of each item, instead of making us pick one.

Why would you want one of each item? Are you so iL-blind that you can't tell that some pieces of poetics gear aren't best-in-slot (nor are some dreadwyrm pieces, but that's beside the point)? The increase in cap is... unexpected, but it's not something to go nuts about.

I guess the issue is that with a 450 cap, you could pick up a tomestone and a carbontwine and still have one week's reward "spare" in the time it took to earn a weapon. Or you could buy a piece of armour every 1-2 weeks so again you'd have some spare weeks where you didn't really need any of the upgrade items. But now you can buy stuff faster than you can get the twine/coat if the weekly is your only source, and you're going to be lagging behind yourself in terms of upgrading items.

I'd be happy just to have a vendor that lets you exchange tomestones, carbontwine and carboncoat for each other, as I've got coats from previous weeks that I'll probably not end up using now, as all my spare poetics now are probably going to go towards weapons for whatever classes I manage to get to 50 before HW.

I'm a casual player who don't raid and I also like to play alot of classes, my Main (tank) is geared already but I wanna gear all my other classes too with decent gear. And 1 of each a week isn't that crazy IMO, people can already farm them from the Final Coil and Hunts anyway, why not make it so that its easier for more casual players to get them as well.

Not everyone cares about best-in-slot, and most 'BiS' items which aren't high ilvl tend to require a fair investment to get to that stage (such as melded accessories) which some players simply can't afford. There's nothing wrong with wanting to have all the poetics items, just like there's nothing wrong with someone who wants to collect all the dreadwyrm gear. It's down to personal choice.
