Please Remove Tomestones currency

"Everyone is doing it" isn't really a strong defense. Having more people make a mistake doesn't make it any less of a mistake. OK, software companies want to make money and avoid risk so doing whatever has worked before when possible over innovating is to be expected. Even then, I think it's worth pointing out what is flawed with the current system and trying to push them to do better. I hate that many things in MMO's boil down to carrot on a stick. Games should be designed to be fun, and playing them should be the reward in my mind. If SE needs to include tomestones to keep people playing, there is room for significant improvement in their game's structure. Give us more content and keep us interested. Yes, it will be harder and take effort on their part (and hopefully the community's part as well, how to do this should be a back and forth discussion) but I feel that it would be worth it. It would improve the player experience and make it harder for competitors to usurp FF14 in the long run.

"Give us more content" simply isnt possible, no matter how much effort they put into this - or at least isnt not possible to give us enough content to keep us busy the whole time between patch cycles.
I dont know how long it takes them to develop a dungeon, but I can tell you how long it takes a group of 4 people to clear said dungeon (15-30 minutes, usually) and I'm pretty damn sure that it takes them longer to design that...

So, they need to give us reasons to repeat the content - for once, because they cant produce enough content for us to have a new dungeon ever evening and secondly because people play at different speeds and start the game at different points and "veterans" still need a reason to go back into "old" dungeons again, so new people can clear them.

How often would you play a dungeon or a trial "for fun"? Three times? Four times, maybe? Probably a fifth after not seeing that content for a year?
"Fun" is the reward when you play the dungeon for the first time, but since they cant give you a new dungeon to play for the first time every day and there are people who still need that first time experience, you still need some sort of reward.
That can be RNG-stuff (music, mounts, minions, glamour...) but that can get annoying and demotivating fast, because you do your run, get nothing and feel like you've wasted your time (because the dungeon just isnt new, exciting, intresting and much fun anymore on your 35th run).
Or they give you a guranteed reward, like tomestones, to make sure that you'll get something out of the run for sure. By making them limited weekly, they also add a certain value to them - you cant just go farm them "whenever".

There is no way they can keep us busy all the time without sending us back into old content, but they need to give us a reason to do so. Even the most fun dungeon isnt much fun on your 10th run anymore - but they need you to run it way more than that, for the sake of new people for example.

And if you really dont want to run those dungeons for anything but fun: you can ignore the tomestones alltogether and use the other gear-options the game gives you.

They cant possibly put enough money and/or effort into this game to keep us busy and "intrested" all the time without recycling content and sending us back to repeat the dungeons.
If you however think thats possible... I'd like to hear your suggestions - only throwing money at it, isnt a valid one.
