CT Loot Lockout vs 1-5 lockout removal?

[Ryios]

Not complainign about anything, just wondering.

If the lockout on 1-5 bcb is being removed and myth is uncapped etc.... Then what exactly was the point on the loot lockout for Crystal Tower when the loot was the equivalent of what il90 will be when 2.2 comes out?

Or are we trading a weekly lockout for a loot lockout. E.g. are they adding a loot lockout to BCB and removing the lockout on the turns? Or is it going to be a free for all for IL90 gear?

If so, the first set of CT will be completely useless with no point in doing it whatsoever.

A friend just told me it's a loot lockout after 2.2, so never mind.

Yoshi already said the point of CT was vanity gear for later patches, even before we knew about the weekly lockout removal.

This has not been confirmed. Only the fact that weekly turn lockout is being removed. We'll most likely get more info in next Live Letter.
If there's a source that says otherwise, please smack me and point me there.

A: Since we’ll be adding the second installment of the Binding Coil of Bahamut, which exceeds the difficulty of the first installment, we'll be removing all the limitations on the first five turns of the Binding Coil.

According to the official live letter translation it actually seems to be quite the opposite of what the OP thinks...

I suggest y'all read the official live letter summary it says:

we'll be removing all the limitations on the first five turns of the Binding Coil.

I was pretty sure that's how it was worded, thanks for quoting the live letter translation, I haven't finished reading over all of it yet

The point is to keep everyone subbed and playing at least one day of the week until the next carrot on a stick, wouldn't be surprised if the CT lockout got removed too since they seem intent on catching everyone up to do the new turns and other content, would be silly if they kept the CT lock since you can just spam Coil 1-5 for 90 gear instead but hey they've done equally silly things before, they did leave out CT for 4 months when it was supposed to be at launch after all.
