Weekly Caps: Worse than Fatigue

[Crazypluto]

Coming from 1.0 and having so many job's/classes at 50 the 300 cap is killing me, it's like having 8 max toon's in wow and only being able to get marks on one of them per week. it would be like a 300cap for all toon's on that account, it's just silly the way they have it setup.

You need to be a hardcore masochist to want to run AK more than 8 times per week.

I'm so relieved when I reach my weekly cap! In fact sometimes I can barely stomach another run.

pretty much this
with the ridiculous time of reserving the instance for AK, i barely got 1 run per day
i usually capped my AK on the weekend in the morning, when it's usually empty & reserve free

I'm kind of wondering.

Do people think moving your character around pressing buttons in one dungeon is different than doing it in another dungeon?

Sure running AK constantly sucks, but it's an MMO. There isn't much they can do to make "Kill monsters --> Equip T shirt" more exciting.

Even the mighty behemoth Tera that everyone pretends is the best game ever couldn't survive with its super fun action combat.

The real problem isn't that the game isn't fun. The problem is nobody actually wants to play. You just want Shiny T-shirts as fast as humanly possible.

Above all else social groups keeps players playing. It is why EQ and FFXI lasted so damned long... people made friends and that is the fun part. One of WoWs biggest problems is the giant community of quitters they have to deal with. They come back for each major patch or expansion and then quit a month later because they "did everything" and by that they mean got the best gear and then got upset because there was nothing for them...

If you are going to be antisocial in a social game then you should just do yourself a favor and quit for good.

The barrier on mythology is good.
I dont wanna grind the same dungeon 1000 times per week... 8 times is fine.
Look at the other topics named "End Game.... Bored", what do you think would be that guy's reaction if he had to repeat everything thousands of times?
The mythology cap at least forces you to go and do something else and have some variety in your daily gaming.

Go level some crafts, go and try to beat Coil, go and level some other fighting calsses to get abilities, level your chocobo, hunt some achievements.
PVP is coming, housing is coming, decorate your house, kill some primals to get their rare drops to do that.

Mythology tomes isnt the only thing you can do in this game, learn to play.

its stupid cap why? because you can level new character and enjoy cap x2 or x3.. why bother with armory system if you can bypass caps by just ignoring armory system. main draw of this game is armory system yet the armory system fails this.

just make a cap per class a week. it would still take 5 months to cap every class gear by then new content is surely arriving

I think that caps should remain as is because there are many things to do in this game and I dont want to spend all my time doing AK runs.

But for some of us there really is not that many things to do.
Some of us have all jobs caped and multiple relics. The cap is somewhat frustrating and only put there because the overall lack of content.
I mean it doesn't really bother me as much as others but I do not deny its a stupid system. I have been saying since the beta
SE should wait a few more months to prepare more content before release or they would place some system like this in place.

AK gear and DL gear are more than enough to gear up extra classes, you dont need to have multiple AF2 characters to be "geared" in this game.
Mythology caps should remain as is.
