Please Remove Tomestones currency

I've hated the tome stone cap for a while. I log in, cap my tomes for the week, and then have no need to log in till the next week. Unless I'm leveling something like a crafter or something. I understand why it's there. It's to keep us subbed those 3 - 4 months till the next major expansion hits. But should we really be penalized because SE can't produce enough content to keep us going? If things were unlocked would the only answer be more RNG like in Pyros? Where it's random if you get a bunny from a bunny fate, random what chest you'll get, random what logograms you will get, and then random what those logograms turn into. If the choice is being capped on what I can do or randomness like rerolling Relic Weapon stats... I think I'd prefer to be capped. At least them I can be SURE I'm getting the thing I need. This isn't Diablo. And personally after a while I get tired of doing things in that game just for a random chance that I'll find ONE piece of gear with ONE stat better than what I have. In order for there to not be a cap, we would need more endgame content to do each week besides EX Primals, 8 Man Raids, and 24 Man Raids. And even those are only every other patch... except for the primals fights. I don't consider Eureka end game as it's not really a form of progression. More like catch up. Tho I guess by those terms 24 man raids are just catch up to and not endgame either. So then for endgame you have EX Primals, 8 Man Savage Raids, and the Ultimate Fights.

TLDR: Endgame raiders need something more to do when they are not raiding just like casuals need more to do when they aren't capping tomes.

I do not like being gated on gearing my stuff. This is not fun or meaningful in an obvious way... It does not create more interesting gameplay through limitations and is incredibly frustrating.

levels are fun to do with DPS while I wait for dungeon queues!
gearing are the most fun way to progress level build for me!

It feel REALLY bad to have my play experience cut short because of the currency reset system. Please just let me do the grind as many times as I want!

Nope, do not want that. Hard pass. While I'd like to see more options in game for gear, having tomestones and other currencies as guaranteed rewards to build up is useful.

I am definitely passing for that reason too. Its one of the reason I stopped playing that game. I don't want it here too.

I don't play WoW. What are they doing with BFA?

Basically, they have layers upon layers of RNG to keep people running content. High level gear can also drop from casual content like dungeons and etc, which has many raiders complaining since the argument becomes "what's the point of raiding when any joker can run a dungeon and get the best gear?"

Ok sure, we'll take out tomestones. Instead, you'll have to raid savage and beat the final floor for a chance at loot. Every time you beat the final boss (you have to beat 1,2, and 3, in that order, before you're allowed to take on 4), there's a 0.001% chance of a chest dropping. In this chest, there's a 0.001% chance it'll be gear (99.999% chance it'll just be fireworks), with a 0.001% chance it'll be gear usable by the job anyone in your group is playing as.

If you get rid of tomestones, that's what we'll get instead. Maybe not to that extreme, but knowing SE it won't be far off. Brutal RNG upon brutal RNG upon brutal RNG.

RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG for loot. Very little to no control to compensate for the shortcomings of what RNG determines you're not getting. As much as the repeating tomestone system personally irritates me, at least it gives some measure of control over gear upgrades: you have an idea of when you'll get X upgrade, BFA is running along the lines of you don't know if you'll get X and even if you do get X it may not even be an upgrade.

Hmm that sounds like how you get logos actions....

But that's one small part of 1 area. not the only way to get better gear

Ow. If Blizzard's terrible writing hadn't driven me out already, that would've killed WoW for me.
