Use mendacity gear and upgrade it, get crafted gear and upgrade it, alphas ape gear, eureka armor.

There are many ways to gear now, and since you said extremes and raids are full of toxicity, you probably aren't doing that content, so you don't need the gear quickly since you are just doing the easier content.

My Pld was in full Omega normal gear before I started. Except for one ring. I refuse to buy crafted gear and I'd just as soon delete my account before I go back into Eureka. I do do EX Primals but not Savage Raids. And yes I can do the Primals just fine... it's just bugging me to not be in full sceaven gear lol.

you refusing to use the options the game gives you for gear is not a reason to remove the tome caps

Sorry that I don't make gil as fast as other people to justify affording Crafting prices or that I hate Eureka so much I only have 24 logoactions recorded so Eurekan gear isn't even an option.

Few ideas:
- level up your crafters and make the gear yourself
- get your crafters up to a point that allows you to do weekly turn-ins at least and sell whatever yellow-script-stuff sells well. Or craft low level furniture. Can make you a fortune.
- make friends with crafters or join an FC with crafters who can make the pieces for you (be nice to them, offer mats and any help you can!)
- get the mats for the piece you want - they're often cheaper than the finished product - and comission someone

Just do roulettes as pld. Few weeks and you have a couple million.

I've been stagnant on gil since shortly after stormblood released and I got all my tanks to 70, as I don't play them much anymore.

You can get close to 100k a day just off roulettes.

Take up crafting then. It'll give you something to do while waiting for reset.

Let me guess. You don't like that either?

So... you know that there are alternative ways to gear up, you refuse to use them and you dont participate in content that would actually require you to have a high ilvl? You just want the gear to... have it, basically?

There will always be some form of slowing our gear progression down - for good reasons: People stay subbed longer (SE IS a buisness and they want to make money of this game, they're not your friend), people dont get burnt out as fast, it ensures that content still gets run weeks after its release and it keeps ilvl-requests in PF at a more reasonable level for a longer period of time (if you could just farm 390 at day one of the patch, what do you think people would put thier EX-primal runs at, mmh?).

Personally I prefer tomestones over RNG. And I actually sort of like the cap, because it allows me to gear up at a reasonable pace without feeling like I need to do more to keep up or to be able to join Ex-primal/Savage groups to begin with. It also gives a sense of (a very low form of) "accomplishment" for the week - weekly cap done? I can put a check-mark behind that on my to-do-list!

There are many ways to gear up a second or third job at the same time as your main - and after a few weeks you can get the set for the second, third, fourth job anyways. If you refuse to make use of those however...

May I also inform you that there is always a strong possibility that crafted and overmelded jewlery is actually BiS for a paladin? Its also worth noting that if you really care about your gear and stats you wont just blindly rush for tomestone-gear but check what substats all the gear that is in your reach offers to pick those with preferable substats (this might be my inner bard speaking - I wouldnt touch certain tomestone-pieces with a 10 feet pole...)

Bottomline: I see more reasons to keep the tomestone-cap than do away with it. This request comes up again and again and they have yet to take it into consideration - my personal guess would bethough that they did and just put it on the "Nope, not gonna do that"-pile.

So you want SE to remove the limit on one way to gear up because you can't be bothered to do the other options to gear up?
