Please remove the cap on poetics

[Tharne]

I recently saw the post on reddit regarding increasing the cap of poetics. Which when I saw the response to why it won't be increased I thought well that's not a valid reason at all.

The tidbit I am talking about:

I decided to have a look at what can be bought with poetics that could possibly cause "inflation" and other than materia and maybe Unidentified stuff to trade for topsoil everything seemed kinda meh. Sure you can buy stuff for the relic weapons but you only do those for the collection and not for the actual use of the weapon beyond maybe glamour. From my experience "Inflation" also doesn't work like that. The less there is of something the more value there is to it.

Also materia is thrown around by the buckets. I actually use to hand in materia every week for the Doma hand-ins and I still have a ton of the stuff that I decided to turn my fishing retainer into a materia hoarder (Even have some elemental materia in there for the lols)

Now if they were referring to the other tomestones then yes, I get it and honestly don't mind the cap on those. I just find it really silly to have to go buy something every time I cap poetics just to turn it into GC seals for the sake of buying another few ventures.

tldr; There is no valid reason to have a cap on poetics other than to make me go buy stuff I am never going to use.

I think he wants to avoid this kind of situation.
