Daily limits are an outdated mechanic

[CYoung187]

Anything that doesn't work for my schedule must be broken. Fix it SE. All content isn't going to cater to everyone. These are far from necessary quests with minimal rewards. I can't play on mon/tues ever, yet most statics run on that day, damn you SE fix it! If you can only play 7 hours a week on one day, there are much better things to spend time on then beastmen dailies.

I work full-time, too. I have obligations that make it very unlikely for me to log in on some weekdays. This means other people will have completed the reputation grind long before I have.

So what?

Some people are done with both factions already, while I just got my Cavalry Drake. I love my Cavalry Drake, and I worked hard to get it. People with both factions maxed out have no advantage over me. I am not behind them in progression. If I, for whatever reason, become even more busy and am unable to devote time to the Sylphs, there is still so much else to do in the game. Whether I get my Goobbue tomorrow or in late March, my gaming experience overall has not changed.

Dailies are dailies. They are a bonus, not a requirement. People who hate dailies won't do dailies. People who like them will do them when they have time.

Best post in the thread. ^_^

Also, someone mentioned that it'll take longer each day to complete the dailies once the two new beastmen tribes are implemented, yet we have no indication that they'll increase the daily limit above six, regardless of the new tribes. Time involvement may very well remain the same.

I honestly don't see how changing the lock out to a weekly one instead of daily would be negative at all.

Currently...

HLR = 1 per day (7 if done every day through out the week)
LLR = 1 per day (7 if done every day through out the week)
MSR = 1 per day (7 if done every day through out the week)
GHR = 1 per day (7 if done every day through out the week)
BTD = 6 per day (42 if done every day through out the week)

If you changed the lock out to weekly, nothing would change... at all. You'd still have the same amount of bonuses/BT quests as before, but the people that have way more time to play over the weekend could actually max out for the week as well. How anyone could possibly have an issue with this is beyond me.

And therein lies one of the major faults of vertical progression. Rather than designing stuff to last, it's all throw-away flavor-of-the-month content to keep players forever on the hamster wheel.

Not this BS again. There are no non-vertical progression MMOs that aren't dying. Even FFXI is a vertical progression MMO now. Deal with it.

I can gain a level every day on alts by doing the roulette. Which means I have to log in every day to get that bonus. So, again, you're gimping yourself unless you're logging in daily. It's not hard to get, really.

Hmmm.... really?

Myth counts:
Hard dungeon roulette for 2 days = 2 x 90 = 180. If I got old WP/AK = 2 x 70 = 140
CT 2-3 times to nab loot = 3 x 50 = 150
Coil T1-4 (usually skipped T3) = 3 x 50 = 150

Total = 480 myths. Already surpassed 450 weekly limit. lol
Or 440 myths? I spammed primal X fights whenever I have free time. Easy. lol

Oh... Philos for darklights? Already complete set on all 9 DoW/DoM. Usually just buy sets of mats to sell again. lol

Beast tribe dailies? Again, completed both Amaljaa & Sylphs equally (3 - 3 daily) in 45 days since Day1 of patch 2.1 released.

Anything else I forgot? lol

Check my achievement page at lodestone site if you don't believe me. lol

So... what's left really?

While we are at it, I think the commendations from duty finder are unfair. For example, the tank might be good and keeping threat, but the DPS was really good at pewpew, and the healer kept the tank from QQ. Everyone should get commendations. Happy fun time. Also it's not fair that people can insta-queue as tank and do this 24/7 until they get the gilded magitek mount in a couple days while people who can only play a couple hours a week can't.

We should just get everything for showing up.

Oh the calamity(see what I did there? :P)

Let me try to brighten your day. ^^

Rolled hard dungeon roulette today as BLM, got Pharos Sirius. For some reason, rest of party wasn't confident, but I pushed them ahead. Trying to perform my best. At the end, I got 3 commendation!

Oh joy! And on DPS job to boot! XD

Awesome. The best I have done on a DPS was two commendations. Tank, all three. Oddly enough, on my healer, it's rare I even get two commendations. I usually stance dance and extremely rarely does someone die, but I think people take it for granted. If I wasn't trying to level the healers, I would probably do the normal healing routine of just heals for easy gameplay. That way I could watch TV or shop for more PC parts.
