Can the devs please double the poetics cap

[ElHeggunte]

Call me crazy, but I'm one of those players who generally likes being near the cap and spending a bit at a time when needed, so if I get the sudden urge to level a Job, I can just grab everything I need in one go. With the upgrades, the Poetics sets can last you through over half of the trek from 60 to 70. I wasn't getting legitimate upgrades until about level 66 or so. Even then, they were serviceable all the way to max level, so if RNG dealt you few upgrades and repeats, it wasn't a major handicap or anything.

You mean levels 50 to 60 and upgrades starting at 56? Which I'll give you, because 55-56 is when I first replaced my Ironworks gear in HW. But Augmented Ironworks gear is only i130 so I will call you crazy if you really did mean "60 to 70" and "upgrades starting at 66".

Edit: I was very much mistaken on this particular point, so ignore me.

Poetics now buys you 270 ilevel gear at 60. This is serviceable all the way to 70, especially if you're just upping an alt job.

Ooooh okay, that explains a lot. I was wondering if I was missing something. I had no idea they busted down Shire gear to Poetics, I assumed they got the Centurio treatment like the old Law and Esoteric gear.

So fair enough, I'll concede that point. I was wrong. I still firmly stand by my statement that a 4,000 cap has exceedingly minimal benefit though.
