My first post about excitement was actually sarcasm honestly. I'm not excited about them at all. All they really do is bring a new tier of ilvl that I have to keep up with to stay relevant on EX primals. I don't do the alex raids but I need to meet ilvl requirements in order to do EX. Falling behind in a "lockout" styled game means that if you take a long break, you can literally come back and have to wait a week or two before you can even do the "new" content.

I strongly disagree with how the tomestome system works, I can see how its designed for people who cannot play often but there are plenty of ppl out there who CAN play often and would like to gear up and play multiple jobs but are stuck with lockouts on the interim. There are solutions but it doesn't seem like SE wants to be creative with these tomestones at all. I'm actually gonna end up doing what others have already posted probably.
