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

If you feel that way then I'm sorry. I'm not asking for anything free, but I do want gear progression. I could level every other job to 50, grind out dailies for Philosophy tomes, and gear up everything in Darklight, but that isn't going to help me get any further into end game. Every other game I've played, you can control how fast you gear up. I've never seen game mechanics that prevent you from obtaining gear.

WoW. Another game, and quite popular still from what I understand. They also put a cap on how quick you can earn the top level gear. So, now the crying can stop. FFXIV is NOT the only game that feels that people should not be able to gear up quickly just because they have no life.

Really? Every game I've played has had gating mechanics of one kind or another at end-game (real end-game, not group based stuff we have here) that prevented you from ensuring you could get your absolute best gear as fast as you wanted.

Raid dungeons and raid bosses had lockout timers (not as long as here usually, but at least twenty four hours) and they also dropped a limited amount of gear while requiring many more people than we need here for i90. And a lot of games are still RNG based while offering tokens to ease the RNG pain but not alleviate it completely.

Again, a three day lockout to have a fight that ends up dropping ~4 pieces of gear with maybe 1-2 of those being a potential upgrade and having to RNG/DKP it out amongst 24 people means you can potentially go much longer without seeing an upgrade than we have here.

You are guaranteed an upgrade every week here.

The games I played to end-game in in the past I could go a month without an upgrade if I was unlucky. But I kept going anyway because I was helping other people catch up.
