Why a beast tribe allowance?

[Sciwolf]

Subscription based game means they profit off of you playing longer than in short bursts. Everythig in this game mirrors that mentality.

I like how the majority of people responding to OP don't seem to understand that HW and SB beast tribe quests already have a built-in daily limit separate from the "Daily Allowance" and that the OP is only asking that the Daily Allowance be removed.

You'd still only be able to do 3 quests a day for Ananta and Kojin, but then you'd also be able to do the 3 quests for moogles, bugs and birds, too.

I completely agree with the OP, btw. The secondary limiting factor is unnecessary. If they wanted to split them so that the Daily Allowance still worked for ARR beastmen, I mean I guess... but if they want to just allow anyone to crank through them I'd be fine with that, too. ARR beastmen dailies are old enough content at this point that I wouldn't really care. I suppose it could potentially be exploited for tomes of poetics... but probably not any more so than POTD.

I knew, but unlimited ARR would could cause speeding through a relic phase.

Likely to control how many tomestones a player can get very easily without doing group content.

If someone can really stomach going through 42 beast tribe dailies (9 per ARR beast tribe, 3 per HW beast tribe, excluding Ixali/Moogles), to obtain a total of 354 poetics, then more power to them.

I knew, but unlimited ARR would could cause speeding through a relic phase.

No one is asking for unlimited beast tribe quests. Removing the daily allowance of 12 beast tribe quests would barely affect the rate at obtaining relics items from the ARR beast tribes, considering that only the rank 3 dailies give beast tribe currency.

[Tinibou]

FFXIV is all about daily and weekly limits... anyway I agree that this day limit of 12 is a stupid thing and it would not fasten the relic phase that much. Even if it would, all the phases have been nerfed and can be nearly quick, except this one. It could be a way to make it easier but not so much.

[Vexander]

I wish they'd remove the Allowance limit. I can see how it made sense back in ARR, but right now all it does is make me go, "Well, guess I'll focus on the Ananta and the Moogles/Ixali for leveling professions."

I wouldn't mind building up a stock of older Beast Tribe currencies, but when ARR has 5 Beast Tribes each with 3 quests that grant currency, you can't really get it all in one day.

[Zsolen]

That is still a bunch more quests per day, which leads to faster currency accumulation.

What currency, exactly?

Unidentifiable Shells/Bones/Ores/Seeds? These are only needed for a single relic step that has been nerfed to the ground. If someone were to focus on these, the removal of the daily allowance cap would net them a grand total of -two- extra unidentifiable items, every two days.
Tomestones? Like I had already mentioned, it's a total of 354 poetics for 42 daily quests. There are faster ways to farm poetics.
Gil? I'd imagine there'd be faster ways to obtain that, too.

There will be new things eventually to keep currency relevent.

Eh...no. In case you didn't notice, Square Enix abandons old stuff and gives new stuff instead. Old beast tribes and what you can get from them is never going to become relevant again. They are replaced with new beast tribes.

What they did update is maps for A Realm Reborn areas, adding them to A Realm Reborn hunts. But, yeah...Those are for A Realm Reborn. They HAD to add them to those hunts. But they replaced those hunts with new ones already if you want to progress in what's current.

Frankly, I don't care much about this. You'll get to do these quests sooner or later. They absolutely do not pop up nearly fast enough to not be able to catch up. Unless you don't want to. I didn't give much thought for few months playing this game, then I did them for a few weeks straight, then I did them here or there when I felt like it. And I had all ARR and HW done few months before Stormblood. What if I would actually focus on them from start to finish?! Yeah.

However, arguing that they are relevant in any way...is just pointless. They are useless, except for the story or for getting the unique items (mounts/minions). Not even the relic is relevant since it is far easier and faster to get stuff that is superior to it. It's just a glamour. Good enough...but not "relevant" per see.
