So we got Omega Normal and Crafted 320 sets, why not give us some class based side quests where we can get 320 versions of our artifact gear or materials to upgrade the artifact gear to 320? That is something easier to get behind then uncapping the tomestones which by the way, you have no proof that people will not do the very thing we keep warning about of burning through only the most efficient content to gear out the fastest possible. Something that was done with verity tomestones in preparation of 4.05 adding in the first raid tier. Something that was done by many people to have the gear needed to already have Samurai and Red Mage in augmented Ironworks, with augmented shire waiting for them, the moment they were unlocked.

And you want an example of using gating to release less content then go take a good look at WoW where content droughts of 6-14 months is pretty normal to see. Compared to FFXIV and its every 3 months major content patch schedule. Lets also not forget that when WoW did that "big content patch" for broken isles they decided to gate it such that the content in the patch unlocked itself over 11 weeks. Resulting in people only having 1 actual hour of content on the day of the patch.

Uncapping creation tomes would just have me running Kugane Castle till everything I play is in 330 gear and then I would leave until 4.2 arrives sometime in December. As that is the most efficient way to do things with the least effort involved.

Just like I ran enough Aetherochemical Research Facility to have almost full augmented ironworks gear for my SAM on patch day.
