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

[Tridus1x]

Damn those high-paying jobs that allow me to pay for subscription-based MMOs. What the hell was SE's marketing team thinking? If people are going to quit because they run out of things to do-they're going to leave, making in happen faster isn't going to improve the oiutcome. If they want to play only 30% oif the game, they're going to run out of stuff to do. Let them. It's their choice and their fault for getting bored.

Yea it's their fault for getting everything done within a day or two and never have to log on for the week(Unless you count the 10min dailies). Instead they should play something else, that will totally help the game /epic eye-roll. Maybe give players an advantage to having multiple classes leveled up, because right now it's only for cross-class skills, since you won't have the ilevel to do anything of importance.

AF2 is Myth gear as far as I know.
The AF1 has the exact same name it was in XI. Mythos gear has the exact same names as it was in XI as well for AF2 (Relic Equip or gear)
Abyssea Gear was commonly accepted as AF3.

- WAR AF1 - Fighter Set in both XI and XIV
WAR AF2 - Warrior's set

-PLD AF1 - Gallant Set
PLD AF2 - Valor set

-MNK AF1 - Temple in both XI and XIV
MNK AF2 - Melee set

SE has already confirmed AF2 is being released in Patch 2.2 (therefore it is not in the game yet). Myth gear is either "Myth Gear" or "AF1+1/AF+1." Just like your relic looks the same (minus a glow) from your relic +1 (now Zenith), your AF gear looks the same as your AF+1.

To build off of what amon said, the AF2 art design was shared in line letter 9. Love the Dragoon set, they made the helm very reminiscint of Kains armor. There are images of other sets as well.

Since AF2 is coming it seems like the prices and restrictions of the lower sets (myth gear) should be reduced fairly soon.

Am I the only one who feels casuals would actually benefit from erasing the cap more than hardcore? Hardcore (as mentioned before) will have gotten full ilvl on several jobs as it is...
Casuals would actually get a time to catch up on their free time, as of now they just stay behind... And every week they miss a CT drop or couldn't finish Coil or worst of all, didn't cap myth... Yeah pretty much screwed and getting pushed back even more.

ps: I don't consider myself hardcore or a real casual, I'm somewhere in between. I relate more to casual play though as I don't have an ingame schedule I just try to clear content when I can, and the cap definitely doesn't support that lol :-)

I do think a cap is needed but it's still a bit low atm

As casuals have the same myth cap as hardcore players, casuals will never catch up. The gear gap will always be there, as any attempt by the casual to catch up will be blocked by the cap. The main effect the cap has on hardcore players is that it slows them down so they have to stay subbed longer to get everything they want.
Unless SE decideds to drop it, for whatever reason, the difference in the gear between hardcore and casuals will always exist. And frankly, I'm pretty sure most casuals accept this. They know they don't play as much, so they shouldn't expect to get as much stuff as hardcore.

@ faldette - the bar is set too low.
3 hours from now, me and my static will have cleared coil, capped mythos, have our primal weapons, and done a few CT runs.
It really isn't even a day's worth of content.

EDIT:
If SE spent more than an hour discussing this system and the boredom it would create, they would have had at least 5 viable options as a compromise between players getting geared too fast (which by the way is an invalid argument) and players not having enough to do.

Oh what is this? typing this I just got an idea, didn't cost me 3 seconds worth of brainpower. Maybe I should get paid?

Step 1: Make the base item, like Valor Body cost 100 points + an Item from AK/WP
for the vanity and Aesthetics

Step 2: Make the first upgrade cost 200 Myth Points + an Item from CT and Ultima Ex

Step 3: Make the second upgrade cost 300 myth points + a drop from each primal ex + Pharoas sirius

VOILA!!!!
Holy crap there's people spamming crystal tower and primals even people going back to AK and WP. OMG The entire game is all of a sudden connected and intertwined. IT ALL MAKES SENSE

SE... it took a guy who just spent 11 hours at work going over annual appraisals with 11 employees 3 seconds to think that up. Can you do better?

[faldette]

Royze, I know the bar is set low, which is why I'm fine with the bar being removed completely. Like you say, a better system would be great. Pretty much any system that doesn't cause players to have nothing to do and no reason to help others due to lack of rewards or even access would be better than caps and lockouts. >.>

And this is coming from someone who hasn't even reached endgame, so...

Orrrrrrrrrrr, you can try other aspects of the game too.
You know, things not only related to endgame.

Don't get me wrong, all respect due to you playing at the level you do, I figure it'll be a while before I get there.
But you chose to focus on just that aspect of the game, while there's plenty more stuff to do.
