How to get around the Myth Tome Cap!

[NeruMew]

Being that having a second character allows you to gear 2 classes at the same time instead of one, it's not really idiotic. If they were to implement that cap to per job then making a second character would actually be pointless.

If you need/want the gear that bad.... It would kinda beat the point of being able to have all classes on a single character. But to each their own. Hence why I said that if they want to do it then it's their choice. I just personally wouldnt as I would be losing the perks of having all in one. However I would have an alt character but just not for the sole purpose of getting past the tomestones cap.

You kind of miss the point. Some people playing FFXIV actually LIKE the endgame content. To them that is the point of the game: doing endgame content. So having multiple jobs on one character is effectively meaningless, because they only get to do one job worth of content, and are only able to gear out one job on one character anyway.

So rolling another character is the only way to get around this. It lets you run coil a second time per week, and it lets you accumulate gear on two characters per week. It points out the whole flaw in the multiclass system of this game. It doesn't actually give you any more freedom to use a single character to play multiple roles. It just gives you some extra time sinks and some cross class skills.
