ya. I haven't been watching the ffxiv forums...I was thinking I would get an email notification...but if that exists, I cannot find a way to enable it :/. so I didnt realize I have to manually check for new posts. now that I do, I'll probably check it occasionally.

[Canadane]

I can at least confirm for you there's no option to be notified ingame that you have a reply.

But what do we spend them on? It feels like now that they nerfed the Demicrystals down to being worthless, there's basically no use for them except to repurchase tome gear for leveling jobs, which I just keep laying around in the retainer so it's really more of a one and done deal. Even relic is kind of a temp spend situation.

Personally, using them for job gear is exactly the reason I wish the cap was higher than it was. You can only buy all but one piece of your left side with 2k, so you then need to go back and farm out some more for the right side and the missing piece of your left + weapon. It's tedious and especially irritating if you're picking up a job that doesn't start at level 1.

A 4k or even 5k cap would be great. It feels long past due, as well - we keep using these for each prior expansion's endgame gear for leveling, among other things. The limit being that small is a pain.

[Sove92]

The 2k limit is there to prevent significant prefarming for a future use, such as a relic. If the cap was to be raided, the costs of the future uses would have to be raised as well to prevent that step from being "too easy" for those who have their tomes at the new cap, while it would disproportionately affect those who are using them.

These kind of decisions are not done lightly and are never as easy as they seem.

I would rather see the costs of old gear reduced to the point you can buy a full set with 2k.

Honestly? I'd be fine with that.

I still think the cap is arbitrary and a little pointless regardless of intended use, but if 2k is a hard-coded thing or a direct choice for tomestones then simply reducing gear price for each prior endgame vendor would be fine. That's honestly the biggest issue I think people have with the poetics cap.
