Daily limits are an outdated mechanic

[RiverCity]

It doesn't matter if you don't enjoy the content, think it's implemented poorly, etc, the point is to get you coming back on a daily basis to complete specific tasks.

Sure, you could play 12 hours every Saturday and be geared as somebody who plays an hour or 2 a day but that's NOT the point of MMO's and never will be. They've always been about the journey and not the end but nowadays people want the opposite.

I play tennis so here's an analogy, do you think someone who practices 6 hours a week, all in one day, would progress faster than someone who practices 3-4 days a week?

Working in the customer service industry myself, it's the same everywhere. Everyone wants the best of the best and expects top notch service customized to them.

As a person who comes from WoW, I can already predict the future.

Someone will now start posting comments such as "But I pay for this game the same amount as you do, I deserve the same as you! Boo-hoo!". Well guess what, you do not.

You pay for a subscription. It's up to you what to do with that time. If you play for e.g. 2 hours a day you cannot expect to be the same as a person who dedicates e.g. 10 hours a day just because you pay the monthly fee. It's not how MMOs work. Basically everything that needs to be said was already said here:

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

Or you can continue to play, but PLEASE do not expect to get the same things as someone who actually dedicated his time into a game.

someone else who misses the whole point of this thread.

dailies suck because 1 hour a day for 7 days (7 hours of playtime total) is better than 10 hours a day for 2 days (20 hours of playtime total).

nobody is comparing a 14 hour gaming week vs a 70 hour gaming week.

Did I? Did I really miss the point of the thread? From the OP:

so that those of us who only get to play once a week can reap the rewards like everyone else.

The beast tribe daily quests were specifically designed to be an activity that player's could challenge each day, and not as something you'd stock up on and clear all at once. As such, we don't currently have any plans to change the system.

FYI, finished capping my rank on both beast tribe 2 days ago. That's like straight 45 days doing equally on both tribes since day 1 of patch 2.1. No more reason coming back for it anymore.

By the time patch 2.2 released, I think 1 more beast tribe added. If there's no mechanic changes, it'll took even less time to complete it. lol

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.

This this and this. People are whining so hard about this, and all you get is a vendor that sells a few neat items. It's not important. It's not necessary. You don't have to do it at all. People just want to whine cause they want it easy and on a schedule that's perfect for them.

This as well. If people would just chill out and get it over with they could be nearly done already.

P.S. They are adding two new races in 2.2. Get ready for another 45 days.

In order to make the most out of 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.

Kind of defeats the purpose of "bonus." I mean, it's literally the game's implementation of: "Oh, you logged in every day and did a quest? Good for you, here's a cookie."

It also gives players incentive to do roulettes daily. If tanks were like, 'eh, I will just do roulettes later in the week', then there would probably be a lot longer wait for DPS in the Roulette during the week.

The Problem is not the cap or the limits in general, its the PROGRESS.
Most such mechanics are working fine because you can buy good stuff, so far, so good...
The Key is: You can buy gear from other content and are NOT forced to do dailys alone!
Same with other Stuff, when doing content you may gain things from dailys.

Its that kind of cross loot thing, that SE have to understand.... as long as they bind it to exclusive content it will fail. Its the time management SE does not understand. When we have 2 hours a day to play, we will not be forced to waste that time on dailys just to have little to nothing progress in gaining something we wish for...
