WRONG I have consistently played this game from 1.0, I have over 600 days of playtime.
I DESPISE the weekly lockout.
I LOATHE the lockouts in their present form.
I WANT to progress on my jobs to what I consider to be an acceptable level.
In the last week alone, I have played: WAR, DRK, WHM, BRD, MNK, DRG, BLM and SMN.

In my opinion, how low the caps are set, in addition to the lack of meaningful content chases away many more people than it helps to retain.

At this point, I am mostly apathetic towards gearing and progression in this game. The caps have choked my passion for this game to the point that it's on life support. I don't do anything anymore for the sake of progression, because I don't give one {redacted} anymore much less two {redacted}. I used to, I don't anymore. I don't even do EX anymore. I don't know how long it will be until I feel the same way about the game in general.
