    Daily limits are an outdated mechanic

    I'm talking about the monster tribes dailies and duty roulette bonuses. The way it is set up where you can only do so many quests in a day, and how you only get the roulette bonus once a day is an outdated mechanic. I propose it be changed to the same system as leves.

    In order to make the most out of dailies and roulette bonuses, one would have have to play every single day, and for us who work, that is just simply unrealistic. Please change it to allowances like the leves, so that those of us who only get to play once a week can reap the rewards like everyone else.

    honestly, i think its such a contradiction that they placed a weekly cap on Myths so that players would who play too much dont get too ahead, too quick, and then they go and make these daily bonuses who reward exactly that.

    as it is, two players can play the same amount of hours in a week, and one player will have progressed significantly more just because he played on different days instead of binge playing on a single day. these dailies make your gameplay less flexible and thus are IMO...outdated.

    EDIT:

    I bolded the last part of the OP because I feel people focused too much on the monster tribe quest limits, but my original post was geared more towards the duty roulette daily bonuses.

    The dailys take literally 15mins to do all 6....

    If you cannot log on 15mins a day you need to not play a mmo.

    Game is already catered to casual too much that it is hurting the game. I know it is a crazy concept but someone who plays more should get more rewards.

    I spend plenty of time in the game. I spend almost none of that time doing daily quests. In fact the few times I have done daily quests were because I had a class at 44 and needed something to do while waiting for party finder to fill out.

    Daily quests are a double edged sword. Repeatable content, YAY! Boring content, Boo! When Developers rely on Dailies to keep people entertained it's usually because they are hoping to make something quick and cheap. And that's usually what the experience ends up being. Quick and cheap.

    I see no merit in raising my reputation with the beast tribes. The only tangible benefits are gilsink novelty mounts and more ugly dye colors we can't use on anything anyone actually wears.

    This system screams "half-assed." If this is what you play MMOs for... maybe you need to raise your standards.

    Every day is the key word here. I seriously cannot fathom why you would tell someone who cannot play a game every day that they shouldn't be playing that game. A hobby is not only valuable to the people who enjoy it daily. I don't read a book every day, and yet it's still quite a worthwhile hobby. I don't play my oboe every day, but it's still a worthwhile hobby. I don't attend meetings for whatever art club or writing club or whathaveyou every day, but that's still a worthwhile hobby. I don't play FFXIV every day, but it's still a worthwhile hobby.

    There is no logic in your statement.

    Thank you! Too many people around think that because their schedule is more open or flexible, everyone else it at fault for being more busy. And like you said, a hobby is a hobby.

    What do you lose if you don't do them every day?
    The exp? The gil? The philosophy stones? Or the shards?
    All that you can also get without dailies on other days.

    The beastmen rep.

    There is no valid or logical argument against allowing the Beastmen daily allowances to stack up to a week's worth. There's no unfair advantage for anyone and no penalty or disadvantage for those that do them every day. To argue against it is mind-boggling to say the least.

    And what do you do with it once you reached the highest rep besides buying a mount for over 100k gil?
    A mount that is not neccesary for gameplay, that don't make you better and that you can still get later.

    I seriously disagree with you. someone who plays more does not HAVE to be rewarded more.

    Second, you are agreeing with me without even realizing it. you say that someone who plays more, should be rewarded more. so two people who play the same amount should be rewarded the same then?

    so if i play 7 hours saturday, i should be rewarded the same as someone who plays 1 hour every day? we both played the same amount of hours, but the other guy got more rewards. see how you agreed with me?
