caps on all side quests and missions

They didn't remove CoP cap because of complaints, they removed it because it was Old Content and they wanted people to focus more on new content. Level Caps are used to ensure game content is fun and viable for extended periods of time. That being said the OPs argument is invalid. Side quests are supposed to be filler and none of them are epic quest lines so there is no reason for Caps. As for the main story quest line, it is so easy you can beat the mission 5 levels below required level so caps wouldnt help there either.. There is no challenging content in this game so even if they used caps it would change nothing.

there are plenty of quests with mini bosses that would of been way more fun if there was a set level to them, i can probably go find you a list of them but i'm not gonna but i know they are there in ffxi. and weather they in ffxiv that is a big problem in itself. but caping them would still make for being more challenging. granted there isn't a reward for them great enough for some of u to do them with or without the cap. if they created a way to get something every 10-20 of them i'm sure people would like it. we did enjoy assaults and the like.

the main story line u'r absurd if you think there wasn't some fun battles, don't need to even mention cop missions. and if you mean for ffxiv then your right again and this is another problem this game is having and needs to be fixed before they lose even more players. if this type of stuff is just filler to you then why do it? why not just have the caps, that just means that the filler has just double or tripled in size.

so all in all you bring up one good point kiote, ffxiv sucks and they need to bring it up to par with ffxi. personally my thought on caps in ffxi is if they had more of there quests and missions caped it would of made it way better and it will make ffxiv much better. ...oh and also last expansion all the new quests were tied into the mission story(lots and lots of mini bosses in them), they can easily with some effort do that for our side quests. the reason they aren't is cause they shitted out garbage fetch and kill quests inbetween screwing up a no wear to be near ready launch of a mmo.

I was really speaking more to the people who completed it after the caps were lifted but before leveling to 80.

Well... I am not playing FFXI anymore so really in my heart I would say no they don't deserve the same thing others got by skill and perseverance BUT my head says sure they can have it since anyways that gear is probably out-dated with the level raised to 99. So they can have it even tho they should feel no accomplishment on getting to the end of it.

Edit: err I didn't see your "before leveling to 80".. if they did all the missions on the appropriate level, sure they shoud feel good about themselves, if they did ALL the missions on level 75-80 (like even the promies lvl 30, the mammets, diabolos, etc) then it's still the same.. no real accomplishment for them.

Not true. CoP caps were removed so that people could burn through old content to catch up. If you remove caps now, the same will happen - the different being that there is no alternative content available. So basically you are advocating throwaway content - not a good idea if 2 dungeons is all you get in 9 months.

Well said, most people don't understand that they removed the caps not too long ago because they raised the max lvl to 99 and that the rewards from old content was no longer relevant at that level and so there was no point in keeping the caps. When they kept the max level to 75 for so long, the rewards from those missions were still relevant even at 75.

So basically you guys want to repeat history? You're supposed to learn from past mistakes, not repeat them.

was a mistake to remove them if you ask me. I would go back and play FFXI while waiting for FFXIV to get better if they hadn't remove the cap. SE created hard and challenging content and ruined it by removing the cap. If anyone completed those missions while uncapped, I really hope they did not feel skilled and accomplished.

That said, I understand that since the max level was raised that old content was no longer desirable so might as well remove the cap at that point. I hope FFXIV doesn't plan on raising the max level with each expansion ala WoW because that just makes for boring game when all the past content is old and useless.
