Maybe, but if they replace a system that remains until the LS is deleted with a system that deletes a CWLS when no one is online it... well that\'s just a mess. Unless they changed the CWLS to not delete when everyone is offline in a previous patch that I missed?

They only delete if there's fewer than a certain number of people in them. Like 1 or 2, I don't remember off the top of my head. So long as there are 3+ in there they don't auto delete?

The weekly restriction on receiving Cracked Clusters upon clearing the Orbonne Monastery has been removed.

So does this mean my weekly restriction applies to all items or just the crack clusters, in other words will there still be a weekly restriction for all but the clusters?

They remove the weekly restriction for regular items long ago.

Everything else in Orbonne is already uncapped. Clusters are the only thing still capped.

I feel like this should also exclude players on the free month for purchasing the game for the sake of preventing the gil farm bots from clogging the queues.
