    Yup, people always want just slightly more than whatever they're given. It's always just slightly more so it seems reasonable but it never ends.

    Cap gets raised to 450 = people want it to be 500

    cap gets raised to 500 = people want it to be 650

    People don't want any specific number, they just want X+150 (give or take).

    I'm in full agreement that there's a cap. But I don't think it would be breaking the system if people were just about able to get their i200 weapon in two weeks. Doesn't bother me much just pointing out that key change it would make. Getting 450 a week and getting 500 is only the difference between getting a full set (6000 esos) in a minimum of 14 weeks or a minimum of 12 in the long run.

    And thats why it is 450. Sure they could do 500, but then they would rasie the price by the same amount. Because its not about the price, it's about the pace that they want.

    Also, you realize it only takes 15 days to get the weapon. Not 21. It it was capped at 500, you could have the weapon in 8 days. In two runs today, I alrwady ran into one person with an eso chest.

    It probably wouldn't break the system, but it would make progression groups kinda funky, since they've balanced content on the assumption that no one will have weapons for three weeks.

    It also doesn't break the game to keep it at 3 weeks.

    So it wouldn't break the game to give it to you in 2, but it also doesn't accomplish anything by giving it to to you in 2. Even though it wouldn't break the game, I don't see the point in going out of their way to redesign it if there isn't a problem to be fixed.
