I do not have a "Main" I want to gear all jobs, change weekly gatings?

Ìt's kind of tragic how these topics are a confirmation for SE to keep the caps for retention purposes. After all is a tacit admission that their main carrot is gear and if anything Verity tomes are really easy to farm to keep people subbed for a long period of time.

Would you prefer a system like the one in WoW (titanforging) where you can get gear from pretty much every piece of content, with the small chance of the ilvl being higher, in increments of 5 ilvls per proc? (Example: the piece of i300 gear you win in the lvl 70 expert randomly upgrades to i340)

In fact I do, IMO is a superior system because any content is a potential upgrade and farming a raid it's more interesting. In fact, the main problem behind this is people stupidity and how they fail to understand than the baseline item is good enough and anything else is an extra (this is not true for world first raids but those are a small %), so they farm Mythic+ to death and request absurd Ilvls for the most basic content.

However, I enjoy FF14 current system and don't mind it at all.

If they didn't gate, then you would have the cutting-edge raiders complaining about there being no worthy content for them to do.

Because just clearing the raid once and then having nothing to do for the rest of the week is so much better?

Let's not pretend this is something they do for the sake of the players. They do it like this to try to artificially maintain subs.

Anything higher than 310 is ABSOLUTELY NOT REQUIRED for aynthing else than raids.

Until said raiders come storming into dailies, with some making more than a fuss that people are slow at pulling, stressing others out with their iLvl, which in turn makes these threads. Full circle lol.

Fun Fact: Out of the few % of people that go raiding, only a few % are ****** like you described.
Also, correct me if i am wrong, but Expert Dungeons are synced to I310 anyways, no?

Only Ala Mhigo is. Currently, there is no sync'ing down on Kugane Castle and Temple of The Fist.

You "want" what? Gearing all jobs is quite an effort, why do you want it cutt... oh wait..... Balmung.... ok, rewording...:

Gating is there for a reason.

I'd consider 320 item level properly geared even for a main and you can get that without weekly restrictions from Ex primals and the MB. The weekly stuff is just a bonus.

I don't think most people would enjoy running the current EX primals for 2 years because there's a chance for them to drop gear better than O12.
