This patch dropped the ball hard

keep the elitiest happy.

Elitists are never happy, its part of being an elitist.

Anyways I'd love eso caps per class, or getting an increase sooner than 6 months from now.

The cap exists so you STAY SUBBED for longer.
You can't remove the cap because everyone will gear up in 1 week at the patch, unsub, complain there is nothing to do, and come back in 3-4 Months and repeat the process,

I don't think you should design your game around people who are clearly not real fans and abandon it at every opportunity. For every person who would gear their one job and quit (most likely while ignoring other content) there's another person that would play more jobs, do more stuff, play other content, etc.

If you removed the cap you could make it much more grindy, double all the costs, halve all the earnings. Hell even implementing a cap/job would be nice.

The whole weekly cap thing just feels exploitative.

...I don't understand why anyone thinks casual content should equate raid equipment. This is my first MMO to boot so this isn't some "WoW" baby. I'll never be good enough to raid, but raiders - especially the hardest raid - deserve the best stuff. It's a case of skill and dedication with the occasional "prodigy" doing it. Casual content grind is merely dedication which is monotonous but isn't really difficult because you aren't doing the hard stuff. Grind and waiting is not difficulty, it's monotony. No skill involved beyond "patience" which doesn't test your playing skills.

I think pretending like all non savage raid content is "casual" is a fallacy in the first place. Having the only important/all gear come from just raids is also a good way to get players to ignore every other piece of content in your game. We're playing an MMORPG not a twitch shooter... the entire thing is about a grind. There's no good reason why viable pieces of gear couldn't come from other things like hardcore crafting/etc.
