So what's the point of weekly lockouts again?

In the context of raiding, it's there to sort of stagger loot distribution (because of loot being obtainable once per week per boss). The alternative to this would be stupidly low drop rates (like 1-2%).

They could also make the bosses A4 Savage difficult with a 1-2% drop rate and no weekly lockout.

:P

Lockouts always been a cancer to any game. Its the most frustrating system you can have on a game because it prevents the players to play as they wish. It should have never been implemented and i hope it'll go away but sadly they wont remove it.

Sadly people chase carrots. And a certain sub group of people with plenty of time on their hands would be done with the game within a week once something is farm-able. The lockout encourages people to try different things than just focusing on improving combat ability.

I'm a little tired of the weekly lockout and caps and I am a new-ish player. Joined only a couple months ago. Forced end game content pacing as regards iLvl makes it feel more like a chore to do every day/week, instead of just logging in to play and do what I would like to. To-do lists and caps just feel tedious and restrictive. Not really enjoying it. Love playing with friends in the FC and LS though. I just feel if there were more end game raids and options caps and lockouts could be lifted and things would be so much better.
