So in XIV we have 168 hour lock out on out 1 highest tier content and no lock out on stuff that by in large doesn't matter any more.

XI maybe have taken a long time to get 1 certain item you were looking for, but there was alternatives to getting similar gear available, and you could involve multiple groups if needed.
