Increase poetic's cap

[Aurumis]

6000 should be the right number for me, I agree the cap is too low

Any news about this issue? Poetics cap it's way to low

Good necro bump. Increase the poetics cap.

There's no need for a higher cap since there is no one item that costs the current cap.

Spend them as you earn them. If you have nothing to spend them on, then having a higher cap doesn't accomplish anything.

There's nothing that you can buy with poetics to really make that worth it. Outside of bulk purchases anyways.
What item would benefit from having a higher cap? The way I see it, all increasing it would do is people would sit at 4k all the time instead of 2k.

Sometimes I randomly decide to start working on an old Heavensward relic and having a ton of extra poetics would make that faster, or being able to get multiple parts of a Manderville relic at once would be nice (but not necessary)

Honestly, I'd rather them increase the weekly cap on the most recent tomestone 4-6 months after it comes out instead of only at the very end of the expansion.

For one moment, think of aesthetics. f there was a higher cap (or a cap so high it might as well be near infinite), players would stock up on those at some point and stop flooding the economy with aesthetics-purchased items. So items will plummet in value soon once the demand for DoW/M level 100 crafted gear diminishes. At that point, players would just stockpile tens of thousands of those. And then when the next tier comes out in 7.2, they'd flood the market entirely.

Does this apply to poetics? Somewhat. There are items in Poetics(Other) that are tradeable. If the cap was unlimited, these items would rarely be purchased and placed on the market. Many of these items have limited value right now of course. However, is the value limited because people cap at 2000 and need to spend them on something which adds supply to the MB for this stuff?

What about roulettes that reward poetics to players? What if they have 100,000 poetics and never need poetics ever again? Maybe they'll stop running certain roulettes making it more difficult for other players to complete those dungeons?

I think a cap of 4000 is reasonable without making a negative impact anywhere. If I recall, a set of old content augmented tomestone gear costs 4055. It would be nice if poetics capped near that number. Maybe that would be arbitrary though.
