This patch dropped the ball hard

I don't know where to begin with this, it's almost like they didn't learn. Nobody wants a 450 cap limit that takes month to gear toward, subsequently not everyone wants to do the hardest content available to upgrade said gear. With the fact that 190 gear JUST came out 2 weeks ago no one is even fully geared with that yet, the game is too flooded and too restricted in my eyes to be enjoyable. I don't know how anybody else feels, but to me this is a subscription breaker.

It gives you something to work toward. I don't get the idea behind complaining at too many ways to gear up. It's better than only two options.

[Jetstream_Fox]

Wouldn't be a bad thing if like I said it wasn't too restricted. If you go with esoteric gear you're forced into doing Savage Alex to upgrade it to be on terms with upgraded Alex gear. Which in turn has to be acquired through another weekly restriction. There is no fun in having to wait a week just to do this.

And it is better to get everything in a day and complain that there is nothing to do?

I didn't gear all of Law in a day, I didn't hit level 60 in a day, I didn't fly all in a day. See the pattern here? Locking everything behind a weekly restriction actually leads to more complaining then having nonrestricted gameplay. The game was actually fun and paced well when it didn't have a restriction now it's 2.5 all over again except you can fly.

So you would rather rush and gear up in a day and then complain about having nothing to do....

Final Fantasy forces you to follow a pattern, complete this one question, obtain trade in item, receive gear, wait a week, rise and repeat.

WoW does the same thing, has for years and years. Most games are like this. It is to prevent fast gearing and giving you a reason to log in for more than one month and then just unsub until next content patch.

No, we want to get all our best gear and idle in Idyllshire with our weapons drawn out to show how awesome we are.

To get raid level gear you are forced to do raids... Who woulda thunk it?

I'm trying to level crafting and gathering skills.

Being obligated to farm the ever loving fark out of esoterics tomes *just* to fully kit out in the first day of the week is stupid.

Cap's fine.
