Anyone else think the cap of 900 for tomes should be the future cap?

Poorly worded in retrospect, I'll admit. Nevertheless, the crux of the argument is putting mounts in everything as a replacement to tomestone grinding won't achieve the desired effect. Incentives inevitably have deprecating value. The easier and less prestige they are, the less likely people are to bother. Taking the story into context, you have do it. The incentive isn't a mount, but unlocking content and/or raids. Likewise, your example with Savage doesn't properly equate because it isn't the mount people are after. They want gear. Does this apply to everyone? No. But it's a failed incentive if the vast majority of people aren't concerned by it. Hence why shoehorning mounts into everything as a replacement to the tomestone grind we do now won't work.

(Now if we go back to only getting 450 a week, given it takes 5,760 tomes to gear one class, so 11,520 tomes are needed to gear two classes, at 450 a week it would take 25.6 weeks to gear two classes vs 12.8 at 900 a week.)

This was the math that someone did , 25.6 weeks is insane and ridiculous considering all the job choices you have like if you think thats a fast time you have more free time on your hands than I do. And the main reason for me to want all jobs leveled as Ive stated I do not play a one job fits all in content if I did that Its possible I may have never cleared some stuff.

That applies only if you do nothing else except run dungeons and EX Primals, none of which require nearly as high level gear. You can also omit weapons and settle on primal ones for your alt jobs. PotD made getting those even easier. If you want to gear up multiple jobs more quickly, you do have another option: Savage. Like Seekified said, playing a job and having full 260 or 270 are two entirely different things.
