I was sick of tomes in 2.0 now I loathe them in 3.0

125/450 right now. At my current rate I won't cap.

Due to the Battleborn launch, I'm currently at 30/450 and I still have plenty of time to cap without much effort for the week. Also, after taking a look at your character, what do you need lore gear for? You only have one level 60 and have zero Midas normal gear and the lore gear you do have is unmelded. A quick glance suggests that you spend most of your time doing PvP or crafting with little to no PvE.

The cap's kinda small though. Is there really people that don't cap by Tuesday night?

I can only speak for myself personally, but I'm more concerned with Poetics and ESO than lore. I need to farm up 320 Unidentified relic upgrade items!

The funny thing is, the cap use to be 300 and people complained that it was too low and that a higher cap wouldn't be hard to reach each week. The counter argument then was that people would complain that an increase in the weekly cap would force them to only do specific things when they log on and they would no longer have freedom to do what they wanted in game. While that counter argument appears to be coming true in the form of people refusing to see all of the other options available to them and pigeon holing themselves into only one thing.

"you need to decide what's more important to you" hmmm, there are a lot of other games to play.

By all means then play those other games. Nobody is forcing you to play this game and if you don't enjoy it, then why are you playing?

Apart from it gives people more flexibility, like if you are busy one week and want to catch up the next. Sure it's not a massive upside but there is certainly no downside to it so why not?

Missing one week isn't going to destroy the game for you. I recently had to miss an entire lock out due to work. I flew out to Boston 0700 PST Tuesday morning, landed 2330 PST Monday night. So essentially, I had no access to the game for the entire lockout and it didn't even phase me. The downside is that it has the potential to take away resources from other aspects of the game to implement something that isn't even needed.
