It's time they changed weekly tomes to include different jobs

[Orbiaus]

If they don't want us to burn out, keep 3 separate weekly caps for tank, healer, and dps. Then increase the reward from each run so that you cap each job faster. And give adventurer in need an increased tome reward.

I like that idea of DPS/tank/healer.

we will maybe get the new cap of 900 tomes a week you know? it was changed near the end of HW, and even before HW the caps was changed but conserved after all.

the point of 900 tomes it allows to have a decent gear for a jobs in 5 week then who know.

It was only changed to 900 near the end to allow people to gear up in preparation for SB. No one who has played this game since 2.0 ARR reasonably expects that they will start the next set of tomes at a 900 cap here. SE does not like folks to be able to get a body or legs within the first week of new tomes being available... you can count on it!

The cap will still be there. The only change is you can then cap a different job on same week which gives more flexibility for raids.

No, you would effectively triple the cap.

If you were allowed to get 450 tomes for each role, then you could (potentially) earn 1350 tomes a week.

The cap is there to prevent you from gearing too quickly. They want you to have to make a choice.

Honestly the tomecap is just stupid. The entire idea of a game where you can be every job on one character but you can only actually gear one of those jobs... yeah. Thats dumb. It takes two days to cap 450 tomes, then 5 days of waiting for the cap to reset so you can actually progress on ONE job. Heaven forbid if you actually want to play multiple jobs.

The tome cap needs to go.

It's definitely dumb but apparently it works for SE because they keep doing it. I guess they're not actually wrong in that players play longer if you make it take longer to gear. I blame a lot of players to be honest.

Don't you know that MMOs are all about racing to the cap (level and gear) as quickly as possible, and then stand around complaining there is nothing to do?

Is the game really so empty that people only pay their sub to cap tomes for their alts?

I for one will not sub when I'm bored whether my secondary class was geared to teeth or not, it wouldn't matter, same thing with people I know, when they're bored or burnt out they just don't resub until something new is released if they're not committed to a raid group.

also the way people are suggesting it (Tank\Healer\DPS) you won't be able to gear your main faster, just alts so it'll still take the same amount of time to gear one class while giving more flexibility to class change, the thing this game advertises for new players so much

I also support having more leeway on the weekly cap like Wondrous Tails in case of exams, busy week, travel or any reason you couldn't cap so you don't handicap your whole group

Easy fix, gear up your dps with tomestones and your tank by trading in items from the raid for gear. There, I've solved your problem.

You are a genius who would of thought common sense was the solution. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. ^^ Now if people would only practice common sense this would be a much better place. I hate tanking however I need to do it if I need things done right, or to farm tomes for other jobs. hence call a grind. To all the nay say-ers, it helps to have one of each role. Tomes are a benefit for maxing out a job. NOT AN ACCOUNT. Improvise people.

some people just have a lot more time.

[xaventh]

The problem isn't the cap, its how stupid easy it is to get tomes or anything for that matter. The depth of this game is lacking because of how easy it is and that ease ends up being restrictive.
