Why not separate Raid Lockouts and Tomestone Caps?

[Nofacekiller]

Can somebody please come up with a logical argument against separating Tomestone caps and Raid lockouts (by job)?

By this I mean allow people to do coil/obtain CT loot once per week PER JOB instead just once PERIOD. As well as having each job have its own tomestone count (not to be shared between jobs) so that we can potentially gear out as many classes as we want if we have the time.

It would be nice to be able to experience all the new content coming out on multiple jobs while still being able to commit to a static raid group that requires me to be on a single job.

It's fine the way it is.

Great argument.

They are supposed to be easing up on the coil lockout somehow in 2.45 I believe. Something about you can repeat previous turns but having people that have previously cleared for the week reduces the chance of items dropping, and I'm assuming a full party of people that have won for the week means nothing drops.

As far as gearing up with stones it's just up to you to prioritize. I try to beeline for the stuff that will very likely be BiS and spread it around the 3 jobs I try to play the most.

Please just remove it fast. RNG is already bad (I hate when people say it is fine the way it is because they are luckier other people, just put them in those unlucky people situation and we can see them crying out loud), lockout is more than bad.

The obvious reason is to drag out the grind and keep players busy. It sucks from a players perspective but I've seen how fast other MMO populations died down without grinds and time-sinks in their endgame.

It's a stick and carrot, albeit a horribly hidden one, to keep players subscribed and grinding. That's all. The game is lacking in content so they make up for it with lock-outs to prevent you from finishing everything in one week.

It keeps you coming back. Not for yourself but for everyone else. Instead of having most people get every piece they need within 6-8 weeks for all classes, they stretch it out incase people like the ones below, who claim they've been hit by the darkside of RNG, will have people continuously running with them.

Otherwise, the instant we lift limits and lock outs. You better hope your on the good side of RNG cause in 6-8 weeks, you won't have anyone to run anything with.

No it's not.
Right now gearing an alt is only possible after you're done gearing your main. Yet if you flat out create a new character you can gear both at the same time.
It would also give more stuff for people to do instead of running coil once a week then logout until next tuesday

This is how they keep you til 3.0 when they will inevitably ease up on all lockouts, perhaps 72 hour lockouts instead of one week,
