Make BCB lockouts account wide [dev]

[Ryios]

SE: If your not going to do something to allow us to run BCB as much as we want, like a loot lockout or something. Then make BCB lockouts account wide.

It's sad to see so many people leveling new characters so they can run BCB more than once when your entire game is structured around the concept of having one character for everything.

You're breaking your own design.

Not to mention that by giving people such a huge reason to level an alternate character, you're also dumping 2 or 3 times the amount of gil into the game economy from the quest rewards.

LOL
No Thanks I don't play ALT characters cause its already enough time to play one. But for other people they like to level Alts/Mules. My wife's brother plays MMOs and gets to max and then starts over again, Doesn't sound like fun to me but to others it is.

I wish we had loot lockout for CoB but the thing with that is more people would sell gear so it will get abused.

As for the gil I really don't think its hurting the economy. You get what like 100k if that from all the main/side quest

So don't make other people suffer.

Agreed with everything except for the "your" parts. I wonder if Yoshi ever addressed this issue. It would have been a perfect way to make the game last longer for many endgame players in an unfinished game with so little contents.

I know patch 2.1 is only three weeks away but I literally have nothing else to do. Doing coil alone gives me 150 myth tomes so I only have to grind for 150 more tomes. Coil 1-4 took only like an hour. I only stay subscribed this month because I want to support the devs because I believe they will make this game a lot better.

Let's see...

Run BCB for 1 set of loot per character, per week.
Run BCB for 1 set of loot per week, period.

Meh... I for one enjoy the fact something causes new characters to be created. Keeps the whole server from sitting around in Mor Dhona and Wineport.
I do agree that the alternate job mechanic in a game that encourages 1 character, is kinda screwy. It would be nice if it was a per job lockout. same with per job side quests and story quests.
Fix the restrictions on characters and it would be a lot more fun.
They are artificial restrictions to prolong subscriptions. Its not hidden very well either.

If they want to level multiple characters that's their perogative. Personally I can't be bothered to play through the main story again and unlock everything again just so I can steal more loot that someone else deserves.

Everything in pretty much any MMO is made to keep you playing for a certain amount of time befolre you can move on to the next thing. It's not like it was ever some kind of secret. People threaten to cancel over these kinds of tactics sometimes but ultimately usually keep playing. However, if you make progression too fast people will run out of things to do and be sure to cancel anyway- thus the stalling tactic is less likely to cost customers.

That's not really how it operates. Do a 4 main 4 alt method. Run 1: 8 drops in coil goes to the 4 mains. Run 2: 8 drops in coil goes to the other 4 mains. You just reverse who is on a main and alt in each run. You effectively double up on loot. Hell if you're really dedicated you could go even further.

If I happen to enjoy doing endgame content with 2 jobs and I'm good at both and I have time to do coil with both of them (note: 2hr per week, big deal) how is that stealing the loot from someone else? o.O

If you have a specific arrangement with other people to distribute amongst alts that's fine, but im more pointing at freelance people joining multiple groups with different alts.
