    High Capacity Tomestones, we shouldnt need them anymore.

    Why wasnt the requirement for this removed with the patch to purchase a 230 weapon. I really dont feel like waiting 7 weeks to get one one for my other jobs and the first 235 i get will be going to my main.

    They don't want to get rid of it. It's their way of forcing Midas to stay relevant.

    As long as the High Capacity Tomestones are needed, people will be running Midas. And as long as people are running Midas at least once a week for months on end, they will be distracted by the lack of end game content. It forces Midas to stay alive a -lot- longer than it normally would.

    Its the same reason we can only get one piece of gear each weak from Weeping City, and why we still need one weekly Void Ark run to upgrade our lore gear.

    If they take these restrictions away, no one would run Midas anymore, no one would even touch boring Void Ark, and everyone would grind their Weeping City gear in the first few weeks, and it would die out as well.

    When you dont release a lot of content, you have to find ways to make the current content last as long as you can. Do I agree with this design? Not entirely. But this is the game we play.

    Go run A6s. Not very many people really need it. i235 is Niddy and he's farmable, so I don't see why you don't just spam that for your jobs.

    Forcing people to run stuff for a weekly lock out item is one thing; forcing people to run something for 7 weeks to get part of an item that has a lower ilevel than something you can unrestrictedly farm is another. At the very least they should lower the number of Midan Gears to 2 or 3 to match the number of weeks it takes to save for a lore weapon. Keeps people in Burden of the Son, but is a little more realistic now there are better and easier weapons to get.

    It's probably from the same line of thinking where they still haven't nerfed relic unidentified step. In this particular case it still has future value as a 240 weapon when they add the gobdip.

    While i understand the lockout, its frustrating when you want to gear up more than 1 job. I have everything at 60 and while i focus on my scholar, i like to get more relevant gear for my other jobs, if i want to seitch it up, especially my tanks. The issue is while it may take 7 weeks for the gears, it might take more if i want to buy gear too. If the lore tomestones werent capped the grind wouldnt be as bad, or if the number of gears was less. But because its both combined its irritating. But i do understand it. This is my first mmo, but i cant say i like vertical progression all that much.

    The high capacities will probably be removed when the ilevel increases in 3.4

    Nah, it's more likely that they will be purchased for a few hundred Esoterics each. Or Lore, if they cycle Tomestones again.
