    Why not though?

    There is no open world PvP, there is no trading of ilvl 90 stuff (since it's all unique/untradeable).

    If someone wants to insanely run Coil and CT over and over and over again... why shouldn't they be able too?

    Personally, I wouldn't do this, but, if someone wanted too? Why not? Who are they hurting?

    (If, in the future, SE does implement open world PvP and/or tradeable BiS items I will retract my viewpoint on this.)

    Right now though... what is SE really trying to prevent, outside of players spending more time in-game playing through content?


    I say let the maniacs spend 40-50 hours a week running through the same raid over and over again if they want.

    Outside of seeing them running around in their gear, it doesn't impact me in any way.


    You can say PvP would become unbalanced... but how? You can only play as one class at the same time. Having 5 classes with all ilvl 90 stuff doesn't give someone an edge over a player who focused on getting one class to ilvl 90.


    EDIT: Someone in another thread about the same topic said, "the cap is to prevent hardcore players from having a huge gap over newcomers".

    I would argue that the cap has the opposite effect. It basically ensures that newcomers will be "x" amount of pieces/loot behind "hardcores/OG's", until such time that the cap is lifted.

    I think that's kind of counterintuitive. Why cripple recent players in that regard and basically tell them, "no matter how many hours you put into the game... you will be unable to surpass someone who started a month before you, because of artificial caps that we placed into the game"?


    Meh, I'm not losing any sleep over any of this. It's just puzzling to me.
