Lockouts

[Prymal_Darkstar]

I don't think he's saying he wants anything handed to him. In fact, it sounds to me like he just wants to be able to play the game and not get locked out of content. There are many people out there who feel the same way. There really isn't much to do at end game as it is (when you are tired of farming brayflox and ex primals). This has been a problem since coil 1-5. It's not going away.

Lock outs from end game content are an old and tired mechanic. It's surprising that we are into the MMO genre for this long and still can't think outside of the box when it comes to end game gear and gating players from farming it. But devs have to be more creative when it comes to linear gear progression and keeping players playing the content long enough for them to put our more.

The idea was good to eliminate the need for players to roll alts when their main is geared out, by having one toon be able to switch jobs. But, you run into this problem with end game content and locking out the whole toon. I think many people would be happy if they could still run coil 6-9 on another job, even if they just got a little myth or soldiery, instead of loot; just like they did with Crystal Tower. You can run it as much as you want on whatever job you want, you're just restricted to 1 or 2 items per week or whatever.

More or less. I always laugh when people say I just want things handed to me...That has nothing to do with it. I just want to be able to do the content whenever I want. Its why I had so many alts in swtor.

With that said, I don't have anything against lockouts or caps on commendations/seals whatever you want to call them based on the game you're playing. I just feel the current design is too restrictive in a game with a system designed around a single toon being able to do everything.
