I know that was also how Myth worked, but I really dislike it.

I hope there are more ways to spend time and gear in general, will see how its done in Stormblood.

While I can see what your saying I actually wish there was more job specific gear choices. It annoys me when several jobs have to use the same piece especially when you can only glamour it once. My scholar looks cool but my whm looks ughhh.

Paladin looks the part but warrior ughhhhh

I've only come up short twice since launch because of travel/holidays, but I wish I had some way to get those 160ish tomes back.

Now THIS I can get behind. This sounds like an amazing idea. If you take a 2 week holiday or something and miss out because you can't play, you can just push extra hard in the week when you return to catch up. But I agree it needs a cutoff like you suggested, and I think 2000 is a nice amount (it's the hard cap on the amount you can carry at once). But, I think the cap should be dynamic based on how many you have at the time. So let's say you have 500 tomestones, the most you can get including rollover would be 1500.
