How is everyone finding the weekly tome cap removal?

[Skivvy]

Someone is experiencing her first expansion on FFXIV

I also didn't recall uncapped times at HW launch, but I've been bored with gearing for quite awhile and take many, many breaks. I've made several posts about this, but the awful tomes cap/gear lockout is one of the main reasons why I can't enjoy myself long-term.

It's been refreshing to have no cap, and I'm bummed to see it will be coming back. And no, I haven't already rushed to gear all of my jobs. Just s stating as many people think anyone in favor of removing the caps will just rush all gear and then be bored. :x

Rather than a weekly cap...

I'd like to see a progressive cap.
It will increase each week at the same rate that it would normally be capped at for a total amount earned...


Say, it's capped at 500 a week on a weekly cap...

A progressive cap would be max 500 for week 1, max 1000 for week 2, max 1500 for week 3 etc...
So a person starting at week 1 and going through week 4 would have a total amount of 2k they could have earned.
While someone who's starting fresh at week 4 has the same 2k total that can be earned.


Keeps the gear locked to whatever speed the devs want, but allows people to catch up if they didn't get in on it during the first week.

I'll never understand this cap nonsense. FF14 is all about playing different jobs, yet you cannot gear up your other jobs properly before you reach the extension's end cycle. What's the point? Why cannot we enjoy gearing all our jobs at the same time if that's how we wanna play?

I always end up canceling my sub after 1-2 months and then come back every 6 months, and the fact that I cannot gear my alts plays a huge role in this.

yeah somewhere close to being 2 years of weekly capped tomes to gear every job its pretty excessive when we get new gear every 6/8 months

I've got a dps/tank weekly tomes really screws that up. If people could have a cap per job it would be a massive improvement but they don't want to change it.

I don't think I have ever managed to reach the weekly cap, so for me it is just business as usual right now.

for people bouncing around the figure of 900 tome limit are going to get quite shocked when they see the limit being 450 tomes per week which is what it was thoughout HW
