Please remove the weekly lock out of stuff

[Skivvy]

Finally an actual good suggestion in this thread that isn't black or white. Good idea all in all!

This be fair, this has been suggested several times by many different people in this thread. I think this would appease a lot of people unhappy with the lockouts/restrictions (myself included).

The content you engage in is irrelevant. Better gear means making whatever content you engage in easier and makes the player feel more powerful. Then you have to consider that if raid gear was the "best" gear, then only raiders would have the luxury of being the strongest players in non-raid content. Which is certainly not fair nor fun for non-raiders.

Ultimately there is no need for a second class citizenry. Unless you can think of some sort of benefit that I cannot?

I had touched on it earlier in the thread as well. Raiders don't even 'need' to have the top gear. It just makes life easier for the content. This can be applied to all levels in the game.

Depending on the group that DF gets you, even dungeons can be iffy at times. Several people have stated that dungeon crawlers are perfectly fine with lower gear, but why is it OK for this group to have to deal with slower and (possibly) more questionable clears but not raiders?

so then why do you think that the gear should be for less effort.

For better or worse, SE has designed this game to try and keep everyone as level as possible and they have provided various gearing paths to try and cater to all types of play style. This is not a game where you can pull ahead of people for long.
