Increase DF speeds by setting weekly lockouts per role

[AdamFyi]

I get what you're saying to introduce this in order to hasten the queue times. But theres the issue again of content deterioration whereby content gets obsolete faster than the development team can push out newer content. I do support a way to decrease the wait time, just not with the tomes that have a cap applied to them.

Your phones auto correction is horrifying. But I get what your saying. All in all, people shouldn't be punished or restricted because they only want to play one class. This was proven when Tanaka implemented the exp penalty back in 1.0. It was abolished and everyone hated it.

OP's proposal doesn't punish or restrict anyone who wants to play one class, it abolishes a punishment/restriction to those who want to play different roles, unless there's something I'm not seeing.

Nope.

It would just make me feel obligated to farm up 3 times the points a week as I currently do taking up most of my time.
It wouldn't solve the problem.
People would gear too swiftly breaking the gear progression in this patch within a month.

Bad idea.

Hmmm that would be great so I could gear up each role and not have to sacrifice progression for one or more jobs.....but say you get the 450 x 3 roles per week, what's to stop you from spending them all on just ONE job though?

But still if a player wants to play 1 class a week he's being punished for not obtaining the other points OP stated.

Nope you are seeing it right. I just don't think others are. Why wouldn't you want more people playing tanks is beyond me. The sole reason DF que is long is because people are not playing tanks and healers. Why is it that people are not playing tanks and healers because they are not geared as high. Give us a way to play different roles. everyone will still gear up just as fast as they are now per role just more people willing to play tanks and healers will actually play them.

The idea presented by the OP was that each role had seperate tomes per week. Basically, a "tank" tome, a "healer" tome, and a "damage dealer" tome.

same thing stopping us now.

Again u only get 450 points PER ROLE

450 FOR ALL DPS
450 FOR ALL TANKS
450 FOR ALL HEALERS

So if u want to play different roles like tank and healer you can.

You cannot use all these points on one class. So if u only want to play one class you will not be left behind. But if you want to tank you can actually tank and gear it without skipping your main class.

The tomes would be strictly limited on specific jobs, tomes earned through tanking would be spent on tank gear and so, at least that how I see it working well... though that would take something from the current system, the ability to earn tomes for other jobs by playing a different job, hmm...

The question is if people are willing to give up the freedom of gear alt classes without actually setting a foot in any content with them (and with a terrible 450 lockout that means you will only gear 2-3 classes max) or people having to earn their gear on different jobs by actually playing them, speeding up the queues AND gear time of different roles.

But still if a player wants to play 1 class a week he's being punished for not obtaining the other points OP stated.

Not if the tomes are role specific.

right.
Now we can only gear 3 jobs tops because next reset and ilvl goes up to 140. And for most people those are DPS classes. SO nonw you still get 3 dps classes but you can get a tank class and a healer class as well. making more people use them
