Weekly Caps and Burnout

[Alahra]

Is anyone else getting a little tired of needing to meet the weekly scrip cap? In ARR, I used to work on crafting progression during lulls when I didn't feel like running battle content or the like, and the...laid back nature of it meant that I could progress at my own pace. That's not really the case now, as I'm compelled to progress a little each week. If I miss a week, I'm always going to be a week behind, no matter how hard I work.

The Tomestone caps work similarly, of course, but it's not as troublesome since many types of content you do at cap contribute. You don't get Red Scrips from regular crafting--you have to go into a special mode to do it, and it kind of feels like a slog, rather than enjoyable progression.

For reference, as an example, I worked on my 50 Spirits of Salt (and all the rest of the Artisan's tokens) in random spurts when the mood struck, sometimes knocking out a huge batch of them and other times putting it off til later. I really liked that freedom and I wish we still had it.
