Weekly cap vs accumulative cap

[Inosaska]

I would like to see an accumulative amount added to the game because I don't have as much free time these days to play video games. I enjoy the game very much but I honestly don't have the time to grind and wait forever for dungeons to pop. This would help me out when I do have sometime off to play cool content like Alex but sadly at this point the way the game is right now I will never do any raid content as long as it stays the way it is because I just don't have the time to grind away like when I did when I was younger. I do hope they take it into consideration for doing this because it would be a great addition to the game.

I really don't see the need to have to cap other than wanting everything as soon as possible and efficiently. Heck, most content, with the exception of Savage Alexander, only requires a full set of Law gear. So, take your time and enjoy the game. The game doesn't even force you to do it either. :0

Plus, if you couldn't cap with the current weekly cap, it's very doubtful you could cap the cumulative cap as well.

Please read my post on the previous page.
People with an actual life usually have a VARIABLE schedule. One week they might have 6 evenings free, the other week only 3. One week they might have the weekend free, the other week not, etc.

Just because one can't cap THIS WEEK, doesn't mean one can't catch up NEXT WEEK.

Please read my post more carefully.

There isn't any need to have to always cap every week. You have priorities if you have a schedule you have to keep; so stick with it. Just because you can't cap this week doesn't mean you can't cap the next week or the next week after that, or even the next week after that week. You can get the gear later. There is literally no rush unless you make it a point to make it one. Most content can be cleared with just a full set Law gear, unless you're gearing for Alexander (Savage).

If they follow the way they present us updates in ARR, come patch 3.2, Esoterics will no longer be restricted to a weekly cap. So, why the rush?

But why? Why not allow people with variable schedules to get the stuff as fast as the others can?
It's NOT HURTING ANYONE. So why not?

Also keep in mind that a lot of people level multiple jobs, and Eso gear is job-specific.

I just don't understand how people can be against an idea that would hurt nobody and would benefit a part of the community. This idea is great, I support it even if it wouldn't benefit me because I have no problem capping every week. The gear would still be available at the exact same pace, it would just allow people who have variable schedules to catch up with people who can cap every week.

as fast

There it is. Why the rush? You will get the gear eventually. I admit, an accumulative cap is a nice suggestion. But why the rush? You still haven't answered my question. Very curious is all.

Those two are not job-specific. A lot of people want to have their jobs in their AF2 gear.

Also I wouldn't really consider it "rush", it's more "on pace" with the others.

Patience is a virtue; especially when you're working towards something. They want to have it, but they don't need to have it now. So again, why the need to have everything as soon as possible?

In the end though, how are you going to actually implement this properly? The weekly cap is universal. Everyone has the same cap. Even those who don't have access to the tomes yet. A maintenance was required to increase the cap on both occasions (300 to 450, and 450 to 900). Unless, of course, you want a maintenance every week. And what of players who just started? Would they have the same cap? Otherwise giving everyone separate caps is time-consuming. And giving them the same cap? Would be painful to see 0/5850 on the currency window, plus, it isn't balanced properly.
