Proposal for Weekly Currency Limits Ahead of New Job Releases

[ADVSS]

has anyone ever mathed out how many tomes it would take to get every piece of lore available including weapons? then divide that by 450.... youll probably see why the amount currently is insane 13000 for all weapons, 11900 for pants and body , 10290 for smaller left side pieces and 15750 for belt and accessories(2 rings each) 50940 tomes thats roughly....1132 weeks to get every piece of lore available itd be 7.0 by the time wed have aquired all of the gear at this current rate...that sounds a little bit in the high range even for keeping subs, and considering every 2 major patches the gear gets scrapped for more powerful gear its a highly unrealistic amount to achieve in an inflated time limit that will never get met by the time its obsolete

You do realize that you can still play the game w/o having every piece of lore gear right? K, just checking.

The solution is to wait till the next tomes come out then you can have all the lore gear you want. Tomestone gear is beyond easy to get, so they limit it. I don't see an issue with it personally. People should prob just be happy u can get within 10 ilvls of max w/o having to do anything challenging.

That's fine for a person that only ever wants to raid with one job. Or someone who never raids.

So few people raid that Yoshida is looking for ways to build a cross server raid finder. So people can actually form a team of EIGHT..... nice counterargument though.

Whats wrong with using crafted gear or Alex face roll gear? Theres other options out there, granted they may not be the best but its something.

Id love for other options that weren't tome related. In another game I am currently playing you can get gear in so many different ways and its all up to the player. Craft the gear, buy the gear using a minigame, farm world bosses for loot bundles, daily boss scrolls, buy from the AH. Instead of just resorting to upping the tome cap they should work on more exciting ways to get gear.

Yes, this cycle we get to use crafted gear! I think it has been about a year since we last got to use crafted gear.

Who raids as EVERY job though? and in lore tome gear? many of the crafted items were vastly superior to the lore gear, so why are you talking about needed every single lore piece? Plus the fact that if you are raiding, you'll be getting gear from that, so you won't need all the lore pieces anyway.

An important part of the cap design is you have to plan out which pieces to get, and when.

1132 weeks to get every piece of lore available itd be 7.0 by the time wed have aquired all of the gear at this current rate...

You do realize that when the new tome and raid gear are rolled out, Esoterics will go away and Lore will be uncapped, right?

I think you missed his point. He's enumerating how many tomes it would take for someone to get every piece of gear and why the caps are unreasonable.

If you only ever play pld and don't care to play anything else, then I guess the caps are just right.

His point isn't much of one when those tomes get exponentially easier to get once they're unlocked.

Plus, the gear's also typically made much cheaper. Currency doesn't stay capped forever.

Lol, ok.
