sorry you guys have it wrong (saying lock outs are to keep it fair) locks out make it highly unfair. miss a week? bam you're behind everyone else now. miss 3 weeks? bam even further, someone been doing coil since week 1 and you have just started coil bam really far behind. the lock outs are to prevent you the people who play as you say hardcore from capping everything and leaving. it's not to keep casuals on the same lvl as hardcores having no cap would make everything even but at the same time everything to easy, so by capping it they make you sub longer and play longer.
