    Tend to agree. Guess in the first place the system is there to prevent too rapid gear progression, that is, hold the hardcores back, make them pay for subscriptions longer. On the other hand, the guys at the other end of the spectrum are hurt as well as you mention. Catch-up mechanics doesn't let anyone get an edge, and saves the frustration and feeling of being left behind until the next major update. I'm not talking about something that lets you get the gear for a fraction of the time it took people that ground it out every week, neither is the OP, because I'm sure that's going to be brought up at some point here. Simply allow people to put in the same amount of time, but allow them to have a bit more choice as to when they want to spend the time.

    Yeah, cause we all know there is zero content for people in 2.1 that don't have full Myth gear. The game is basically unplayable if you've been gone two months.

    This would also be good for people in comas, people that don't have accounts yet, etc. No one should have to put any time into this game; you should just be able to log on at any time and have access to everything.

    What kind of argument is that? Well.. why do I even expect anything remotely Inteligent in this forum no offensive but I think that comment was more than
    *If you don't have anything nice to say say nothing at all*
    Section. wow.

    Back to Topic:
    I think a Cap Increase Eache week for thoes who have a PAID subscription but are not able to play is totally ok.
    When I need to go to Afghanistan again for 6 Month I won't be able to play at all.
    And 6 Month? Try to catch that up if you are limited to 300 a week.

    Basicaly if you are logged out a week without loging in once you should get the Maximum to 600 for the next week and if you fail to login that week you should get 900 the week after.

    And of course you get reset as soon as you use that raised Cap. And only when you have a paid Subscription. My Accounts holds 164 Days of Subscription ATM.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they release new gear with new ilvls every 6 month, put a limit on how fast you can earn that and remove the limit from the previous tier of gear so you can earn it freely.

    So in another 3-4 months with 2.2 they'll probably release the ilvl 100 gear with a different set of tokens, and they'll remove the cap off myth.

    @Grailer, Ya I meant people that keep their subs going even while gone, like me for instance, I do because I want to support the game.

    @Omniwaink, Taken out of context a bit huh. Never said to give people tomes. Just roll the cap over so that when they come back they will still have to grind out the content like everyone else but atleast they have the opportunity to spend a ton of time trying to catch up, instead of hitting cap.

    I have to disagree as in a big NO. If you stop playing for this or that reason than you dont need any special treatment. Life comes 1st even if you get a little behind in the game.

    I am going to have to agree with Omni here. I first want to say thank you to those in the Military who serve to protect this country. *applauds* As i do agree that giving rollover over Myths to those that dont cap them (and i have missed a few caps so i know how it sucks) not a terribly good idea, i think possibly making a philo item that allows you to raise your cap by 50 a use with a 1 day cooldown might work.

    I get the impression you didn't actually read the OP, nor intend to...
