If they could come up with a good system to do weekly lockouts by job or role, I think that would be great. But if you just, for instance, removed the scripture cap, hardcore raiders would have full scripture within a day of its release, thoroughly outclassing people (including myself) who have no desire to grind optimal content over and over for tomes. Those hardcore players are liable to clear everything and stop playing until the next patch.
    But isnt that what always will happen even with a weekly limit? Those people that have the time will finish the limit and those that might not always have the time to play each day will fall behind because they did not reach the limit and have no way to catch up the next week. Also its kinda normal that those people that have more time on the hand will always be further ahead than those that can only play 1 hour a day.

    I mean why does it really matter if someone has the full set at release day? They still have to grind the same amount as all other people and are just able to play longer. And I am also not really sure if those truly hardcore players are running duty finder anyway. They will probably have friends that they will run content with and thus will not be available in a run anyway. Also if this is a legitimate reason to limit it we need more limits ingame then. I mean someone that can raid 16 hours a day will surely beat the raid faster than someone that only can do it for 2. Someone that can pvp all day has a bigger chance at reaching the top in a season than those that only do it barely. Should we put a daily limit of only raiding 4 hours a day in the game so that everyone has a better chance of doing world first?

    Hopefully this post does not come over as mean or something but I really dont understand the reason that others might have things faster. This already happens with relic weapons, mounts and other stuff and yet barely anyone cares that this happens.

    @Istaru: But couldnt it also be that a weekly limit kinda hinders people on doing more content? Why should I for example take part in Nidhogg NM if I am already capped for the week? Any bonus that will drop thanks to new people will be lost thanks to the limit thus why should I even go there? Also in a way Nidhogg NM is not that much of a good example. He does not give that much loot so anyone that did it once will probably not run it again simply because there are better dungeons to earn stones. And if that already happens with a limit then why should it get way worse without? I mean not everyone will rush and hardcore farm something on Tuesday after the release of the patch and be done with it for the rest of the patch. IMO there are more casual players in this game than hardcore grinders. At the same time if there is not limit than maybe some people might level up more than one job thus are running more roulettes per week and even more dungeons. This can mean that they might be through it sooner than with a limit but SE just needs to put some nice incentive behind it to increase the farming. Like sell some really expensive mount for stones (something like Fenrir from the Gold Saucer). People that care for something like that will grind for this, thus more people dungeon content. (But lets not forget that probably quite some people will do content with friends only, having a limit or non will not change that fact)

    [And maybe just maybe if people cant clear content because there are only bad players left..maybe some might finally try to get better instead of being carried by those that are good or really good at their job]

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
