Didn't cap this week because you had irl stuff to do? Oh you're behind now, and you can never catch up to your friends with dead end jobs who think doing chores in XIV is fun. But wait...isn't the cap system supposed to make it so casual players aren't behind? Yeah its bs, its actually a hindrance. Just let me not log in for two weeks and do a bunch of spamming when I get back from real life. Just let people spam as much as they want, and people could, at that rate, stop worrying about whether or not someone spams 24/7. This game is a casual game for people who need constant gratification from somewhere cause they don't get it irl. 95% of the game is a chore you do so you can do 5% of the content which is fun. I get some people don't have anything of value in their real life's so they love to do only the 95% and never do the 5%, that's honestly most people who play this game. But that is the part that makes me want to quit every time. I've been playing since 1.0, weekly cap and constant dungeon spamming will make me quit every time. Then its 24 man raid spamming with people who have two left feet, a little better but ultimately terrible.

    The fact of the matter is nothing is this game is hard, its numb and brainless. Even savage is hard when you first go in, then its just a dance you learn, and if you can do the dance fine. The hardest part of savage is "can the other 7 people do the dance." It just feels like this game is a snoozefest made for people missing lobes of their brain half the time. Maybe I'm particularly jaded since I main heals too, and they are making it so a literally person on life support can heal in 5.0
    It is easy to gear up in this game, takes 5.4k to buy all equipment with the tomestones, which is 6 weeks of capped tomestones.
    There are 3 months between each patch content and about 6 months between patches that are introducing new set of gear and tomestones.
    You literally could play only 1 hour a day, few runs, one raid, one dungeon, alliance raid or pvp and you wont have trouble to gear up at all. It just takes time, you cant expect to be given all gear on a silver plate like that. If someone is unable to catch up in 6 months time then i guess he is not playing the game at all, then why play it if thats the case?
    Also if tomestones are taking too long, there is an option to buy a crafted gear and then upgrade it to the same ilvl of tomestone gear for a price of old tomestones which are super easy to get.
    This game literally is giving away gear left and right if you know it.
