Patch 2.57 please?

when they said i130 is higher then enough that dosnt mean we will got o level 60 on our i130 gear, that could just mean the first couple of levels we can use i130 gear and just ride it to say level 53 to 55, while the game throws us gear that would be on par if not just a tad lower for those levels, just having the gear now just gets you ready for the start of heavenward those in FCoB will just have a smoother transition into HW until they need to replace there gear.

:P everyone needs to calm down about i130 being a 'good i level for heavenward' for all we know lvl 60 gear could be i200 or whatever making the i130 useless.

They said i130 would last until around lvl55. That means what 3-4 hours?

What if they increased required XP to level by x amount of times, just to make sure it will take a day or more to reach max lvl?
I would like that more than having a new Exp that you max out in a few hours.

We don't know yet, could turn out either way.

[LegendWait]

Only thing I'd like is a change in the legendary fishes catch rates. That Nepto Dragon has got away 7 times too many :|
Maybe just a slight upgrade nothing huge

They're probably just putting poetics gear as drops in 52-55 dungeons like philosophy and myth gear was dumped into the i70 and i90 drop dungeons when their respective tomestones were phased out so they don't want people to have full poetics for everything before the expansion launch just so people have reasons (glamour) other than just being forced back for the 3.x relic to go through those leveling dungeons again even after they have everything leveled to 60.

[Zophar]

Eh, even if you don't do Final coil, you should still be able to have, probably 3 jobs, or as many as 6 if you play healers, tanks or mages, full (or at least really close to)i130 by the time HW comes out. And there really seems to be little to no reason to have all jobs at i130 for content that, Yoshi P has already stated, 130 will be overgeared for. And honestly, at the moment, as has been stated, capping poetics is one of the only things keeping a large number of players logging in.

[Felis]

I have a lot of 50's wearing soldiery gear. I would love uncapped poetics. It would keep me busy with all of my jobs. Currently I just get capped and pretty much stop playing for the week.

Start with WoD gear and if there is still time until 3.0 continue with poetic.

[Purrfectstorm]

Poetics cap keeps people subscribed.
We can get a dozen carbontwines and coats a week, but if they actually allow us to use them all, people will have full BiS in all jobs and unsubscribe for one month. Can't let that happen, or they'll stay gone and the game will die

I'm not staying subscribed so I can cap poetics, I'm staying subscribed because I like the game. There have to be other people like this?

Also, I especially agree with the OP's recommendation to make soldiery gear exchangeable for GC seals and desynthable. In my opinion, every piece of game in the gear should be desynthable. i135 gear exists, make that desynthable too. Why doesn't SE do this? They've never been concerned with players having to grind for something before.

[Skeith-Adeline]

and that makes it idiotic how? because you have to take more then a few weeks to gear a job? thats the idea behind keeping people subbed

Because there isn't enough time between now and heavensward to gear up the classes I want to gear up. That's why it is idiotic.

[Contradiction]

Aside from all those probs revolving around 2.x (e.g. keeping subscribers etc) I think the main problem is the balancing in 3.0.

Yoshida has said that iLevel 130 is pretty high at the start of 3.0 and for that reason he doesn't know whether he should remove the cap now. So the decision seems to hinge NOT so much on what's happening now. Rather, what will happen later in 3.0
