More likely just to delay RMT from getting to end game without skipping doing things. That's how SE seems to doing things anyways.

The only time SE seems to implement locks these days is cause RMT are having to easy of a time clearing content down. Not so easy for an RMT to clear those primals solo but very easy for a party with active players.
