AF Gear and alts

[ckc22]

Can we scrap this system where we can only gear up one class for many months before gearing alts? Why cant the new tomes be 450 week for each class instead of 1? So say I reach the cap for my main, I can grind my alt/alts to get their caps.

1000% agree. It's super annoying to only be able to gear one job when one of the biggest premises of the game is that you can do everything on one character.

This problem is made worse by the fact that its job specific (which I actually like - give us more job specific gear! just dont lock it behind a 13 week time gate) and not role specific.

I know it's this way because of people who apparentlyw ill gear out, finish alex savage and unsub. But I think designing the game for these people instead of those who are going to gear up multiple/every job and keep playing is a bad decision, but I'm not in charge.

If you're willing to grind/spend more time you shouldn't have artificial barriers/caps put in the way.

I agree. FF14 system is supposed to be unique in that you effectively have all alts in one. However, this system has very little advantage over the other Normal ones. 1 - Do you save time leveling? Not really, you lose out on all the quest exp and end up Dungeon or Fate grinding instead. It is a bit faster, so ill give it to SE.
2 - You get to share loot between Characters? Sometimes, my DRK and WAR can use the same gear, so can my Scholar and WHM. BUT - for some reason Eso gear is CLASS SPECIFIC....WTF!!
3 - You cannot do any gearing of alts using any ockout or capped mechanics.

In many other MMOs I level my ALT so I have something to do while waiting on raid and tome/mark/etc. caps to reset.
I cannot see why you cannot earn 1 token per floor PER class in ALex.
This would mean u'd need to clear Alex on your ALT. No using your main to clear Alex for Alt loot.
Capping ESO per Class is probably more difficult to implement.

Honestly, I want more job specific gear.

Tired of all my healers wearing the same stuff, meanwhile all the DoW DPS get unique sets.

Yeah, same with me. Those shared gear makes me can't glamour PvP outfit. But I'm glad they make it separated

A cap/job would be perfect

make it happen se please!

We had this back in myth days. Just think people are not used to it.
Think it how it should be. With both same sets you had issues back in day when SMN got stuck with spell speed as everything was for blm.

I'm raiding as War waiting for our War to end levelling (he was late a month for study) to come back to Paladin... Now i'm stuck to ot buyng any body piecies until i know when he come back (hava quit all te i190 left side body excluded)... Kinda sick (also, working on A1 Savage..)

I would like if our alt characters could send mail to each other... The RMT excuse is lame because they just make FC's and trade stuff anyways...

I agree caps should be per job and some kind of system so you can only get gear on your current job put in place. In 1.0 the philosophy was that all characters would be able to progress vertically at an equal pace (due to exp lock outs so once you gained too much exp you'd stop gaining it). So casual players and hardcore players would all level up at the same pace. But hardcore players would be able to progress horizontally (as in being able to level up more jobs). This kind of system could work at endgame now and would allow people to make progress on more than one job without letting them get really far ahead on just one job.

At first cap was 300 a week, then it was upped to 450. At the very end of 2.xx it was upped to 900, and that was only because people were complaining. Why are you complaining about a system that has been set up since the start of ARR?
