Why not a dynamic myth cap based on number of classes at 50?

lol at horrible idea.

Want to know what a horrible idea really is?

Here is one, a really horrible, shortsighted idea:

Implement a system - let's call it "armory" - that encourages players to level multiple classes on a single character. Then, if any of them should take the time to max it out, give them something cosmetic (like a title and crown) and then totally c*ckblock their gear progression and pigeonhole them into one class, epsecially when compared to players who simply, flat out ignored the system. They get rewarded in the end.

Great idea, huh!?!

The players, by keeping everything on one character, they think they are saving a day or two of fate grinding to 26 or 34 for a cross class skill, but in reality it's a lie. A ruse, a trap, a cruel hoax. The player could have taken an extra week to level a fresh alt and be getting gear two to three times faster for the foreseeable future (plus another 300k gil from questing per alt). An extra week of leveling translates to [probably] months and months of an extra raid lockout per week, potentially twice as many myth tomes per week, a second piece of CT gear per week, etc. Twice as much every week adds up. And all they have to do to reap the benefits is totally ignore the entire system and roll an alt instead, you know? Simply play the game just like they play every other MMO ever made ever.

Player A: One Character: All classes level 50 = Up to 300 tomes per week (450 after patch as if that is somehow relevant)
Player B: Two Character: Both level 50 with only level 15 sub = Up to 600 tomes per week (900 after patch)

So then, what's the point of the armory system, again? With an alt you get another raid lockout, you get twice as many tomes. What's the benefit of the armory besides saving an evening of grinding in Quarrymill?
