Gearing Systems need a revamp.

I don’t think the cap is the contributing factor in keeping people subbed - I think it’s more likely that housing, crafting, rp and other activities do, so increasing it sightly I don’t think would kill the game. And because of these other activities, SE really doesn’t have to do anything.

If you’re a battle focused player, you can get full tome gear in 8 weeks?, quit the game and come back a year later and it would still be there,

It is a factor, because you can't just clear savage one time and just take it easy or unsub. You need to gear up to BiS for ultimate and that's likely two whole months, and that depends if you clear in the early weeks. You can't go into ultimate not being i600 with a i605 weapon, that's just griefing your party. Nevermind gearing an alt job is just down to pure luck in that time frame.
