IMHO if your playing with the idea that "I need to cap before reset!" you are playing for all the wrong reasons. I was just saying that people that have the time to gear and play multiple jobs but cannot play multiple because of ilvl limitations and gear lockouts are unable to. Even more so if they don't play a certain style of content. Some don't raid, some don't like the 24 man, hell some people don't even like getting tomes at all and only use what they get from doing what they do regularly. When the cap was 450, I was usually capped by the end of the week. Now that its 900, I've only been capped one time so far. I thought it was a great way to help gear up extra classes I like to play.

Currently I enjoy:
War (main), BRD, BLM, SCH Untill very recently I could only keep war and bard geared (and bard was not geared very well untill new patch was about to drop). Now I've been able to play all 4 at various content ilvls and I haven't been getting bored of the game for this reason.
