    I don't see a point of the cap existing since Diadem has no lockouts and drops stronger gear.
    The only thing you need 210 gear for is raiding, and gearing up for raiding is incredibly accessible right now. With Eso's, Hunts, Diadem, Void Ark, Thordan EX, and Savage itself, there's no shortage of high level gear that you can use to progress your character. Surely gathering colored trinkets for Rowena isn't the only metric of fun to be had in the game?

    Void Ark gets you gear once a week, Thordan just drops weapons, Savage is cool but it's not something you can just do constantly like the Diadem and not nearly as easy.

    Yeah, I love the other options but they all have restrictions. Diadem? Not so much.

    If the best gearing option doesn't have restrictions I'm not seeing what's so bad about lifting the eso cap.

    There really isn't anything, especially at this point but people will invent contrived reasons to justify it. For a game that apparently encourages paying a lot of different classes, it sure does punish you for wanting to gear them up to the same standard.

    Maybe if you only play one class, but it's obnoxious (and always have been) if you would like to play many regularly without most of them lagging behind.

    This. All these caps and lockouts are okay if you play only one job, but if you play more... tough luck. I would like to gear up at least one tank, one healer and one dps at the same time.

    Not to mention that we are stuck with caps and lockouts long after the gear had been introduced which is really ineffective system.

    I would take Eso farm over Diadem farm any day.
