I agree with this post in many ways. I love ffxiv but I am on a break from it until right before 4.0. I'm giving it some time to build up content I really want to do. Honestly in regards to the tome grind, there is no point to actually cap if I don't raid. I save time by just waiting until the second round of tomes to actually acquire them. Majority of the content in the game does not require someone to have a full or nearly full set of the newest tome gear to complete it. Outside of savage raiding, rewards are mostly glamour or just minions. Seeing how a wardrobe feature does not exist even this can be limiting to players who have a very full inventory and do not want to buy extra retainers.
