Without weekly caps, people will inevitably obtain every piece of gear they want within the first month. I cap nearly capped the 450 limit in a single day. It also completely trivializes any other form of gear progression since why wouldn't you farm Scriptures for the best gear available?

Not at launch, but it's not entirely difficult. The only content in the game where ilvl 270 matters is Savage. Since you'll always have two coffers per fight, provided no one else has cleared, you can simply ask your static if you can roll on other job gear you want. I geared Ninja completely through extra drops and the Scripture I no longer needed for Dragoon. When I got it to 60, it jumped to like 261 instantly. If you aren't doing Savage, well, don't worry about ilvl.
