At this point I can't take you seriously any more. To me it seems like you enjoy splitting hairs for the sake of splitting hairs and not trying to add anything to the discussion. As we have essentially gone in a circle, and you never seem to add anything.

Exhaust content, get told to take a break, explain caps create the feeling of needing to complete to avoid feeling behind resulting in the job like feeling many don't want, get told caps are to enforce breaks, explain it does the opposite, then told take breaks anyways and just accept being behind and wait for the catchup cycle. Which would lead us right back to either the person is exhausting the content as soon as it comes out, or waiting for the eventual catch up periods.

If you want to continue this at all, what do you tell those who want to do current end game yet their schedule never really lines up well with the catch up periods? They honestly don't have much of an option with a cap system.
