A comparison of combat content in Endwalker.

Dixie: weekly lockouts are a staple of MMO design across the board..for one thing it stops people from spamming them to complete a new ilevel gearset in one week. Those lockouts DO get released, eventually.

To what? Complete the NEW ilvl gearset?

You do realise the exact same day these alliance raids come out you can just upgrade the crafted armor sets to the SAME ITEM LEVEL as alliance raids? Right?

The gear is outdated on release, If anything they should make the alliance gear EQUAL to savage gear, nobody who does savage is going to care that some casual players get the same item level 5 months after they get it, and if they do, they need to touch grass and stop pretending that gear matters in this game.

I'm not even asking for the loot to be unlocked, i'm saying there should be incentive to run it more than once a week.
Give people a few Anthoclusters and some extra tomes for completing it more than once, anything to make it worth running the content more than once.

The lockouts do get released eventually. A few weeks before the new patch when people aren't playing anyway.

They ought to unlock it when the alliance raid releases, and not have the alliance raid be locked at all.
