As the OP of this thread, and several people asking why I personally want the caps removed.

While there are many reason. For me personally, new gear gets released every few patches. Higher item levels. The problem with this, and the caps, is if you are one of the people. That likes to play with a bunch of different classes so you do not get burnt out. Having a weekly cap just grinds out your wallet for yoru monthly sub, while leaving a bad taste in the mouth. For me anyway. I have always mainlined healers. I got into playing a dark cause i thought it just looked cool, for RP purposes. Most of teh swords are junk though.

Now, while there may be many different ways to earn gear. I do like to keep it simple and just use one set. I do not like to mix n match sets. So, when you are "gearing" out your classes, it is roughly like this, iirc.

1 set, tanks + weapons
1 set caster dps + weapons
1 dragoon set + weapon
1 bard set + weapon
1 ninja set + weapon

and so on.....

I have a 2 week vacation coming up in july. Why should I be PUNISHED by being limited to ONE piece of gear per week from here, one over here, and 1 script piece.......I REALLY REALLY want to play all the different classes. But I NEVER WILL, because of this nuetering.

Now add in the possibility of having to grind older content raids or "something" to get crafting materials or an actual armor drop for glamour. I just spent 3 days grinding final coils trying to get the caster robes, finally said screw it, bought the mats and had someone craft the replica.

I do NOT care that those people whom are doing savage material have better gear or ilvl than me, GRATS! I always wanted to be on a server first raid progression team, but hey, i suck! No shame in saying it. But I just feel, since we get new ilvl gear every few patches, the caps hurt more than they help.
