Weekly Gear Lockouts Kill Gameplay

[Stasya]

1. if they wanted to do that they could put insane grinds into the game. This is more of an issue of FF14's "Respect the time of the player" mentality, where even small playsessions should feel like you can achieve something. Which is good, but makes longer playsessions unsatisfying for those wanting that.
2. fair, really.
3. true, but what about people that want to play multiple roles?

Generally I think the lockout method is a good base principle to make sure you can't go ahead too far. But sadly there is very little to do once you have reached the small lockout gates.

Book runs to practice other roles? You are joking? I mean if you put pf just to get it done, would you accept a tank showing up and saying "hey im from start as tank, but i did it as dps, are you fine with me trolling and potentially make people angry and leave?"

Not being the one that suggested this, I merely have no other solution at hand that I would offer. Please direct your criticism of the idea to the quoted poster
