Why is all endgame-level open world content daily/weekly?

Then wouldn't the answer be to lock out those specific rewards rather than lock out the content?

On this I can agree - although, with people already calling Crystal Towers "useless" because it only drops ilvl100 gear, you'll just end up with another group complaining lol.

It's not like you can't spam coil to get sands and oils, w/o getting to the next lvl, at least it worked like that the last time i did coil.

Even if i don't like them, i agree they are needed, it's the price for having a ilvl system (which i hate, but not gonna get into that), they just have to put more resources into creating more open world content so we won't notice the lockouts.

I prefer exploring the open world more than doing a dungeon. In fact, I pretty much hate dungeons and do them as little as possible and I hope Square Enix sees this.

I know my friends that I play with in regularly feel this way too. We much rather have a living breathing world focused on. One that, I think, is starting to take shape more in 2.3 and beyond. Frontlines, Hunts, Rogue class / Ninja job, other classes when expansion hits, Golden Saucer + more. They only have so many assets but I really do hope that they get to a point where they are like "Ok, let's take a step back from focusing on dungeons / raids and add more to the world and focus on that more specifically". At least for one patch...
