Yoshida on Tomestone changes!

They do that so new players can catch up faster, by the time 2.1 is released everyone should be fully decked already.
So I still fail to see the problem with that.

The problem is that it messes with gear progression paths, currently it is AF > AK/WP > DL > CT (supposedly) > BC/Mythology

but making it easier and faster to get Mythology gear makes it AF > DL > Mythology or even AF > Mythology

I'm not against players getting gear easier and faster but certainly not the top tiered gears

In that case the problem doesn't even lie in the weekly cap that is being raised but the whole token system itself.
We get i90 gear from tokens, if it's all about progression it should not be higher than 80 to do coil with and gear there.
The cap itself is not the dealbreaker, now I can start gearing my second class faster and new players can catch up quicker.

This is true and all but wasnt there supposed to be ilvl increase for allagan items making them ilvl95 instead 90? if this is true then progress would look like AF > AK/WP > DL > CT > Mythology > BC
