    They do increase the token cap, though. Around 5.55 when it no longer matters, to give you a chance to get caught up for the expansion.

    Which is honestly just as pointless. Why would you need the increased tomestones? For ilvl? At that point you can get augmented 520 crafted gear. For glamour? Well unless you're doing savage to get some extra upgrade materials tough luck because the 24man is still gonna have the weekly cap of 1 coin.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    You can still just use augmented crafted gear for that. On top of that I would assume that the new expansion MSQ will also reward you with HQ vendor/crafted gear of appropriate level again. So your first job is already covered.
    Any subsequent job you level can be easily geared with the current tomestone gear that is then available for just poetics.


    To me atleast it would make more sense to increase the cap to 900 about a month before a major content patch with a new raid tier (so patch x.2 & x.4), in case you plan on switching jobs. Then again you can just buy the new crafted gear for those once the patch releases.


    All in all it's not really a problem, I just don't see why doubling the weekly tomestone cap shortly before a new expansion would be in any way vital for leveling in it.
