There shouldn't be a Myth cap because.....

No... actually it doesnt say hello.... because at the end of the day you are STILL 100% guaranteed "something" for a job.... Youre STILL getting 8 actually real gear drops every single week.

Coil would say "hello" If you had a 1% chance of getting ANY gear, and only got crafting material 99% of the other times... or better yet... a Fire Crystal :-\
Try doing Salvage 7 days a week, and no drop for ANYONE in 3 months...

It would be like doing Dynamis.. .and not getting any AF the entire run.

/shudders
I remember Salvage and Dynamis... and if you had new players to Dynamis or your alliance wasn't good enough....
...death... so much death and maybe even deleveling for some people....
Yeah, I'll take what we have now over Dynamis and Salvage the Fire Crystals of spite. =_=;;

You cannot have a sustainable MMO without gating. Full stop. If you play MMOs it's something you're going to have to get used to. As people have explained here (with numbers!) you have things pretty darn good here compared to most AAA MMOs where the primary gating mechanism is the RNG combined with limited amount of loot distributed amongst a large group of players.

i dont think it would be a bad idea to have some of the content based on that system. but thats just me. like i said. if u guys like the lockouts then good for u. but something is just not right with a game when people log on to just to fill a weekly cap.

Maybe "ur" just too bad?

it takes 7 other equally good players :3

In 10 years of killing Tiamat off and on, I never once witnessed first hand those shoes dropping. Only that damn Fire Crystal! lol And only saw a Ridill drop once in all that time. No wonder people were fooled into thinking the content was ENDLESS!!! You were doing the same fight 5 years later XD

I would if 75% of the tanks would learn how to dodge wicked wheel.

[Shirai]

I'm tired of waiting.

Yep, aparently you are.
Perhaps you should stick to single player games?

[Kiroh]

I don't even need to read this thread to know what it is, a bunch of people who don't play as often defending this because they deserve to be just as geared as everyone else. Who cares if they only play 5 hours a week? They deserve to have end game gear and everyone else should be forced to slow down for them because why not? And plus you can totally get other gear at the same rate they get it because everything else is locked too!

This is what happens when you build an MMO to cater to people who don't have the time to invest in an MMO.

Sums up all the rubbish on this forum. But imho, I disagree with you. It should not cater to everyone. IRL does not work like that. I know it is just a game where people have fun, and I am not trying to come off as elitist. But all Yoshi has done is taken the fun out of gaining merit in a game and made it so everyone is treated almost equally. So far I feel like I am copy #1000 of my class running around Mor Dohna. Even with an Allagan weapon, I feel it is outshined (literally looks like dog poop) next to a primal weapon or other weapons that any casual can get. It doesn't make sense... There's really no point to it when everyone can get the same thing. Used to be people stop and examine you because the gear you have on is actually well-earned and very hard to get. Now... haha it is a joke. No one gives a **** and just runs right by. It is not the same thing as it used to be. I am hoping they release better gear in the future that warrants an examine because so far it is all very lackluster and for people like the OP. And yes, this is related to the discussion of the myth cap because ANYONe can equip that gear, and it is the BiS gear as well. And this is why I do not support the myth system or taking away the cap. The game is already easy enough and people don't understand how MMOs used to work. Taking away the cap is just going in the wrong direction, but I know YOSHI is likely to take it away anyway to please the people that are too unpatient/casual to wait and get the gear.

Ain't that the truth.
I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that bs in XIV.

As it stands everyone has a fair chance of getting geared up. Everyone has a fair chance of participating in content. All of this in a reasonable amount of time.
I'd rather content gets played and beaten than sit around for 10+ years because the chance of getting a certain drop was smaller than me winning the mega million lottery. XD

Removing the cap wold be silly but your total should be cumulative. I went on holiday for three weeks as patch 2.1 arrived and I lost out on 1350 mythology. Cumulative total would still be 450 per week but it wouldn't screw people who go on holiday or can't play for a week or two for whatever reason.
