Let's Discuss: Weekly Limits

[RobbieH]

how are they going to be any more motivated to do so if they can achieve a full set of 260 even faster?

I guess you never played an Horizontal progression game then.

I've played GW2 for 2 Years and pretty much the best gear you got at the first months was pretty much still the best 2 Years later, almost no one had issues with it.

Meanwhile in FFXIV:

- 2 Months later after new Raid: full BiS
- 4 Months later useless BiS gear
- Repeat

There should be more End-game Raids, the weekly tome is a cheap attempt and not making more Raids.

A lot of people had issues with it. It's the major reason that people say there is no endgame content and barely anything to do. I got bored of this style pretty quickly, and is why I came to FFXIV. That isn't to say I think FFXIV's system is good though (see above), it's just better than GW2.

I played GW2 from release until probably mid to late 2014 consistently and then on and off for another year. The game had no endgame content to speak of outside of Fractals (arguably) and PvP. There were many other myriad issues plaguing the gearing system of that game, and in the end they ended up introducing vertical progression of their own with Ascended, etc gear.

I agree that something needs to be done with the tomestone system, but I think you're missing the forest for the trees by focusing on the weekly caps.

The game had no endgame

Considering Exotic was the best gear there was apart from Legendary weapons, everything was end-game until they introduced pink ascended gear.

Maybe there should be two weekly tomestones and two raids, at least there would be more to do and won't feel as stuck.

More money is also not a magical power that makes all the impossible possible, or makes what YOU want just happen.

Means bigger team, more resources, and therefor more content. It's just a matter of what content they do, have you forgot Diadem?
