Why IS the savage lockout system the way it is?

[Amenara]

Half correct.

It's so that people don't blow through the new content within the first couple of weeks and cry later that there's nothing else to do. Its meant to stretch the content, I doubt the majority of people base their sub on savage gear alone. I'd apply the word predatory to the housing system we have though.

I think it's hard to say you blow through it in a couple weeks when the game effectively forces you to clear for potentially 7-8 weeks to get BiS on one job. I think honestly the loot should be role locked instead of character locked so you have the option to run it multiple times a week on multiple roles so you can gear up more than one role, especially in a game where they encourage you to play multiple jobs. Though my opinion doesn't mean much as I don't have the time/will to PF savage anymore.
