Loot lockouts should be based on Job

[Borfin]

Regardless of how ARR compares to WoW... Which is entirely irrelevant..

It's not. It's nearly identical in a LOT of ways, including the decisions devs are making with loot lockouts (and what some players, like OP are seeking) and the consequences of those decisions, which is what we're discussing here.

X game did something similar. These were the consequences of that decision in X game, and why that would be a bad decision to make in Y (same genre, even plays nearly identically!) game.

You have more play time. You have more 50s. You can't get ahead on any one job, but you can gear more jobs. As you play more.

Which is why it would be good for gearing alts in lower-tier content (CT) but bad for burning people out in current content (BC). FFXIV hasn't been around long enough for raider burnout to be widespread but I assure you, raiders do burn out.
